1. That Mercy's foundation to us is Christ. The Mercy Seat was set upon ⟨p. 190⟩the Ark of the Testimony, and there it rested to us-ward. Justice would not, could not have suffered us to have had any benefit by Mercy, had it not found an Ark, a Christ to rest upon. Deliver him, saith God, from going down into the Pit, I have found a ransom; Job 33.24.

2. In that it was placed above, it doth show also that Christ was of Mercies ordaining, a fruit of Mercy. Mercy is above, is the Ordainer; God is love, and sent of love his Son to be the Saviour, and propitiation for our sins; Joh. 3.16. 1 Joh. 4.10.
