I know a man- under wrath may be under a love of benevolence , which is the purpofe of God to bellow grace and glory, but he can- not at the fame time be under a love of com- placence which is direóly contrary to a flate of wrath , neverthelefs eternal juftifi- cation makes a man capable of both at once.
