There is nothing over-mastereth the Heart like Grace, and so obligeth to sincere and unfeigned Obedience as that. Examine me, O Lord, 1said David, prove me and try my Reins and my Heart, for thy loving kindness is before my Eyes, and I have walked in thy truth. Therefore he saith again, O Lord, our Lord, how excellent is thy loving kindness in all the Earth! And, that loving kindness is marvellous, for it has that Majesty, and that excellent Glory in it, as to command the Heart and ⟨p. 41⟩subdue Sin. And therefore Grace has given to it the title of Sovereignty, or of one that reigns. The 2Throne is called, the Throne of Grace, that on which it sits and reigns, as well as that from whence it proceeds. Grace reigns thorough righteousness 3to eternal Life by Jesus Christ our Lord.
