i
muft
be
a
mofl glorious
work
of
God
wherefoever it
fs
:
And.`
this
Confideration
is
a
mighty Argument
to
uphold
a
poor
foul
under
trouble
of
fin
,
and
a
great incouragement for
him to
come
in
for
pardon
;
Doft thou
fee
O troubled
foul
Gods
wrath
againft thee, and
doff
thou
fland quaking
at
the apprehenfion
of
the
evil
of
fin
?
let
not
thy heart
fink,
come
in,
and
call
thy felf
on the
free grace
of God,
there
is
a
poflibility for
the
pardon
of
thy
fin
;
for
when
God
comes to
pardon fin,
the
mercy God
Thews
in
pardoning
of
any
one fin,
he
does it
to the
end
that
he
might
magnifie
the riches
of
his
grace to
all
eter-
nity,
and
fuch
mercy that frrves to that
end
muff needs
be
glo-
rious And
will
not
fuch
mercy
ferve
thy
turn,
as
muft
fet
out
the
infinite
rich grace
of God
?
God
is
pleafed to manifeft thus
much
mercy
for the forgivenefs
of
thy
fin
;
and
where
a
firmer
is
forgiven,
it
is
this
mercy that
is
manifefted
:
when
men
judge
of God
by
themfelves,
they think
(lightly
of
him,
when
they
judge
of Gods thoughts
by
their
own
What
is
the
reafon
that
makes
fanners
have
fuch
flight
thoughts
of
fin, but
becaufe
they
judge
of
God
by
themfelves,
that
he
abhors
fin
no
otherwife
than
man
does,
and
fo
hope they may do
well
enough, mea-
furing
the infinite
hatred that
God
hath to
fin
by their own
:
fo
on
the
other
fide,
the
fanner
that
is
convinced
of
the
dreadful
evil
of
fin
is
ready to defpair
;
Why
?
becaufe
he
judges
of God
by
himfelf
;
as
if
the mercy
of God were
no
other
than
the
mercy
of
man
;
not confidering
the mercy
of God
in
pardoning
fin,
is
fuch
mercy
as is
to
Thew
his
grace
in
the riches
of
it
to
all
eternity.
Well
then,
that
man
to whom
fuch
mercy
is
Ihewn
muff needs
be
very
bleffed.
