After that we are estated in his mercies, we shall as certainly remain happy people for ever, as we know him to be a glorious God for ever. He can no more fail of any part of his mercy and truth, than of his whole nature and Deity.
After that we are estated in his mercies, we shall as certainlie remaine happie people for euer, as we know him to be a glorious God for euer. Hee can no more faile of any part of his mercy and truth, than of his whole nature and Deitie.
Instruction, so to believe and live, that we may have his promises for us, and not his threatenings against us: Otherwise his truth and justice will join together to condemn us, and not his kindness and truth to forgive and justify us. He ⟨p. 60⟩will not cast off his righteousness, as he will not fail of his mercy. For if he should either punish his people that are penitent, or spare his enemies that are obstinate, he should forfeit his truth: for he plainly professeth, that those that walk 1after the stubbornness of their own hearts, he will not be merciful unto.
Instruction, so to beleeue and liue, that wee may haue his promises for vs, and not his threatnings against vs: Otherwise his truth and iustice will ioine together to condemne vs, and not his kindnesse and truth to forgiue and iustifie vs. He ⟨p. 60⟩will not cast off his righteousnesse, as he will not faile of his mercy. For if he should either punish his people that are penitent, or spare his enemies that are obstinate, he should forfeit his truth: for hee plainly professeth, that those that walke 1after the stubbornnesse of their owne hearts, he will not be mercifull vnto.
