SERM. XXXVI.
That God not only can, but doth actually comfort his People, and how he doth it.
2 COR. 1. 4. Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we our selves are comforted of God.
IN the former verse we had the Reasons of our blessing of God set down, by the description of that glorious attribute of his, The Father of mercies, &c.
In this verse the Apostle doth further amplify the cause of this duty of Thanksgiving, viz. from the effect, and fruit of this property of his, He is not only a God of consolation, habitually and potentially, as it were. He is not a fountain sealed up; but this Sun doth always irradiate its beams; As he is a God of consolation, so he doth comfort.
