Note how David setteth forth Gods goodness in this respect: for after he had set forth the ingratitude of the Israelites in many respects,1 concerning God he saith, Yet he being full of compassion forgave their iniquity. And again, after he had showed how they forgot God their Saviour, 2&c. He addeth, that God turned away his wrath, and remembered for them his Covenant. 3Thou hast played the harlot with many lovers (a great point of ingratitude) yet turn again to me, saith the Lord to rebellious Israel. But most evidently is this proved by that mercy which was showed to many thousands of those Jews, who evilly entreated the Son of Man, 4a man approved of God among them by miracles, wonders and signs: And denied the Holy one and Just, and desired a murderer to be granted unto them: And killed the Prince of life.
