but
a
certain num-

that
God
the Father
had given
to
his Son
from
all

:
now
there's
a
great work
of
Gods mercy
in
palling
by
others
,
and
giving
thee to his
Son
:
And
further,
It
is
a
work
of
Gods
mercy
in
the
powerful
Minifiry of
the
Goipel
to
reveal
this
:
And
then
further,
it
is
a work of
Gods mercy to
draw
thee
to
clofe
with
his
Son,
and
thereby
to unite
and
mar-

thee
to his

:

It

a

for
faith to look
upon
God
in

manner,
than
to come in
fuch a
way
as
this
God

in
his

we
mi-

mightily
about
the
mercy
of
God
,
when we
do
not
look upon it
in an
Evangelical
way,
as
it
is
revealed
in
the
Gofpel

Further,
know thus much, that
if
Gods mercy
will
work
fo

thee,
as
to pardon thy

fave
thy
foul
:
certainly
it will
work
fo
far
as
to
take
away
the
power
of
fin, and let thee
not
live
in
the filth
of
thy

:
Many
think Gods mercy
will
do
great
matters
hereafter,
but
nothing now
in
comparifon
of
what
he will
do hereafter; they
think
he will give
them
outward
blef-
fings now,
but keep
fpiritual things till
hereafter
:
Cer-
tainly
this
is
an
infallible
truth,
if
Gods
