CHAP. XII.
Of the infinity and immutability of divine goodness, or as it is the pattern of moral goodness in the creature.
Of the infinity and immutability of divine goodnesse, or as it is the patterne of morall goodnesse in the creature.
I do not like this Title, the disjunctive argueth, that Gods goodness communicative as communicative, is the pattern of moral goodness in the creature, I know no pattern of moral goodness, which we must imitate, but that which is commended unto us in Gods Law, Gods communicative goodness was exercised in making of the World, and us; Is this a fit pattern for us to imitate? As touching his providence, whereby he governs the World, we are called by our Saviour, to imitate him in some particulars, as when he suffereth his rain to fall, and Sun to shine on the bad, as well as on the good.
