1. Faith looks upon Heart-melting-Promises: Takes a survey of the Riches of Gods Love and Mercy, in making such precious Promises, which doth exceedingly melt.

2. Faith takes up Heart-softening-Considerations, from the Love and Mercy of God towards us, which are Heart-melting-Mercies; from the goodness and sweetness of God. Faith makes us see God as he is. It makes God no otherwise than he is, not more gracious, not more merciful than he is: But Faith discovers him as he is, a gracious and a merciful God. It doth but undraw the Curtain, but take off the Mask, which Satan and Infidelity have ⟨p. 81⟩put on; and makes us to behold God as he is, in all his glorious excellencies, Soul saving attributes, and Mercies: which who can behold by Faith but must needs mourn and dissolve into tears, that they have offended him? Thus you see, Ezek. 36.31. when God had discovered himself in his Pardoning-Mercy, his washing, Forgiving-Mercy to the believing soul; then they shall mourn and be humbled.
