3 From the power of God. Abraham at a plunge was supported with this strong staff of Comfort, when though by Gods command he was to sacrifice his Son Isaac, yet he accounted that God was able to raise him up even from the dead, Heb. 11.19. Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst, Mat. 8.2.

4 From the mercy of God. Lord, thou art gracious and merciful; ready to relieve. It's true, I am a sinner, but thou art a Saviour. I am sinful: but thou art merciful. I am impious; but thou art gracious. ⟨p. 118⟩I have done that,¹ for which thou mightest damn me: but thou hast not lost that, by which thou mayest save me. True, I am not worthy of a smile from Heaven. I have deserved to be sent from darkness here, to everlasting darkness hereafter: from this partial, to total and universal darkness. But Lord, proportion not thy dealings to me, according to my deservings from thee. Let not the strong God take a pattern from my weakness, good God, do not ever remember my evil, least thou forget thine own goodness, thine own mercy.² But, thou, who art found of them, who seek thee not; Oh! Be mercifully found of a soul, who seeketh thee.
