We hope still, God will be merciful to us for Christ his sake: So God of us, he hopes we will be obedient to him for Christ his sake. Petimusque, damusque vicissim: As we expect, God should save us for the merits of his Son: So God expects, we should serve him for the merits of his Sonne. If the bitter sufferings, and heart-blood of Jesus, cannot get of us the forbearance of Iniquity; How shall it get for us the forgiveness of Iniquity? As we entreat God, for his Mercy, to be good to us: So God entreats us, for his Mercy, to be good to him; and therein most good to our selves.
Wee hope still, God will be mercifull to vs for Christ his sake: So God of vs, hee hopes wee will be obedient to him for Christ his sake. Petimusque, damusque vicissim: As wee expect, God should saue vs for the merites of his Sonne: So God expectes, wee should serue him for the merites of his Sonne. If the bitter sufferings, and heart-blood of Iesus, cannot get of vs the forbearance of Iniquitie; How shall it get for vs the forgiuenesse of Iniquitie? As wee intreat God, for his Mercie, to bee good to vs: So God intreats vs, for his Mercie, to bee good to him; and therein most good to our selues.
O let that Goodness, that reconciles us both, prevail with us both. With God, to bless us by his bountifulness: With us, to bless God by our Thankfulness. What should I say? For Jesus Christ his sake, let us be Thankful. It is a good thing to give thanks to the Lord, saith our Psalmist. 1Good for the virtue of the action: Good for the excellency of the object: Good for the happiness of the retribution.
O let that Goodnesse, that reconciles vs both, preuaile with vs both. With God, to blesse vs by his bountifulnesse: With vs, to blesse God by our Thankefulnesse. What should I say? For Iesus Christ his sake, let vs be Thankefull. It is a good thing to giue thankes to the Lord, saith our Psalmist. 1Good for the vertue of the action: Good for the excellencie of the obiect: Good for the happinesse of the retribution.
