Conceive of Gods mercy as no ordinary 1mercy, and Christs obedience as no ordinary obedience. There is something in the very greatness of sin, that may encourage us to go to God, for the greater our sins are, the greater the glory of his powerful mercy in pardoning, and his powerful grace in healing will appear. The great God delights to show his greatness in the ⟨p. 356⟩greatest things; Even men glory, when they are put upon that, which may set forth their worth in any kind. God delighteth in mercy, it pleaseth him (nothing 2so well) as being his chief Name, which then we take in vain, when we are not moved by it to come unto him.
