Vers. 76. I pray thee that thy mercy may comfort me, and according to thy promise unto thy servant.
Vers. 76. I pray thee that thy mercie may comfort me, and according to thy promise vnto thy seruant.
Because he had confessed the merciful dealing of the Lord, therefore he craveth mercy, for he knew that with the Lord is mercy to be feared, Psal. 130. He dare not stand to the rigour of Gods justice, but he flieth to his mercy, contrary to the Papists, P•lag•a••s, and Family of love.
BEcause he had confessed the mercifull dealing of the Lord, therfore he craueth mercy, for he knew that with the Lord is mercie to be feared, Psal. 130. He dare not stand to the rigour of Gods iustice, but he flieth to his mercie, contrarie to the Papists, P•lag•a••s, and Familie of loue.
And thus must we labour to cure our unbelief by his promises, that we ••ll not to despair,1 for we are ready to presume in prosperity, or to despair […] ▪ but they must be both cured, the one by the meditation of Gods judgements in prosp, the other by the promises in trouble. For then the judgements have done with us, when they have brought us to humble our selves to the Lord, because of our sin, & then are we to look for his mercy: for then are we fit for it. We must then couple justice and mercy together, and make use of both.
