Now mark, to such who are thus graciously, thus spiritually, thus divinely merciful, do these precious promises belong, Psal. 41.1. Blessed is the man that considereth the poor and needy, Prov. 22.9. He that hath a bountiful eye shall be blessed, for he giveth of his bread to the poor, Prov. 14.21. He that despiseth his neighbour sinneth, but he that hath mercy on the p or, happy is he, Prov. 11.25. The liberal soul shall be made f•t, and •he that watereth shall be watered also himself. That 2 Cor. 9.8. is very remarkable; And God is able to make all grace abound towards you, that ye always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work. Behold, how words are here heaped up to make grace, and all grace, and all grace to abound; and who is it to? unto the liberal man, the merciful man, Job 29.13. The blessing of him that was ready to perish came upon me, and I caused the widows heart to sing for joy, Luke 6.38. Give and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. Behold and wonder at the height of these expressions, that you have in this Text; we account it good measure when it is heaped up, but when it is heaped up and pressed down, that's more; but when it's heaped up and pressed down, and then heaped up and running over again, this is as much as possible can be made, this is as much as heart can wish. O Sirs, those that are of merciful spirits, they shall have mercy heaped up, pressed down, and running over; certainly that man must needs be in a happy and blessed condition, that can be in no condition wherein he shall not have mercy, yea mercy heaped up and running over, to supply all his necessities, Mat. 25.35
