Gods goodness vindicated for the help of such (especially in melancholy) as are tempted to deny it, and think him cruel, because of the present and future misery of mankind, with respect to the doctrine of reprobation and damnation / by Richard Baxter ... ; published and prefaced by a friend at whose desire it was written, and to whom it was committed.

9. Remember what Goodness there is in the Holiness of God, which is demonstrated in his severest Justice; Yea what mercy it is to forewarn men of the ⟨p. 99⟩punishment of sin, that they may want no necessary means to scape it.
10. Remember how unfit the selfish Interest of obstinate despisers of Grace and salvation, is, to be the measure or index of the Goodness of God: And how much more credible the concordant testimony of the Heavenly Host is, who Live in the Love of Love it self, and are everlastingly delighted in the Praises of the Infinite, Greatness, Wisdom and Goodness of the most perfect, blessed, Glorious God.
