Doct. 9. We must look for a day of visitation, that men may glorify God therein.
Doct. 9. We must looke for a day of visitation, that men may glorifie God therein.
This is gathered from the 12. v. at the end. But the day of visitation may be understood either in judgement, or in grace and mercy. Here it is to be understood of the grace of God. So Luke 1. 68.
Reas. Because without grace there is no inclination in the heart of man to glorify God. The tree must be good, that shall bring forth good fruit, Men do not gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles, Matth. 7. 16. 17.
