And these Principles I have laid down in a little room that Tempted persons may see, that it is our dark and puzzled brains, and our selfish diseased hearts that are the cause of our quarrelling ⟨p. 87⟩with God, his Decrees, and Providences, and as soon as we come to our selves and are cured, these odious apprehensions vanish, and God appeareth, as the unclouded Sun, in the Lustre of his Amiable Goodness; And when we come to Heaven we shall see to our Joy and his Glory, that Heaven, Earth, and Hell declare him to be all perfectly Good, without any mixture of evil in himself, or in any of his word or works. And we shall find all our sinful suspicions and murmurings turned into a joyful consent to ⟨p. 88⟩the Angelical praises; Psal. 136.1.2, 26, &c. O give thanks unto the Lord for he is Good, for his mercy is for ever. O give thanks unto the God of Heaven, for his mercy is for ever. Rom. 4.8, 11. Holy, Holy, Holy Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come — Thou art worthy O Lord to receive Glory, and Honour, and Power: for thou hast Created all things; and for thy Pleasure they are, and were Created.— Rev. 7.12. Amen, Blessing and Glory and Wisdom and Thanksgiving, and Honour, and ⟨p. 90⟩Power, and Might, unto our God for ever and ever Amen. The Lord is Good to all, and his tender Mercies are over all his works. The Lord is gracious and full of compassion, slow to anger and of great Mercy. Psal. 145.8, 9. The Word of the Lord is right, and all his works are done in truth: He loveth righteousness and judgements; the Earth is full of the goodness of the Lord. Psal. 33.4.5. O how great is thy Goodness which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee; which thou hast wrought for them that trust in thee before ⟨p. 91⟩the sons of men. Psal. 31.19. O therefore that men (instead of quarrelling with his unknown mysteries) would praise the Lord for his Goodness, and for his wonderful works to the Children of men, Psal. 107.8, 15, 21, 31.
