7. The great goodness and favour of God in delivering this law to them. And this comes fitly in the next place to consider of, that it was an infinite mercy of God to that people to give them this law. Hence Deut. 9. and in other places, how often doth God press them with this love of his, in giving them those commandments? And that it was not for their sakes, or because of any merit in them, but because he loved them. So David, Psal. 147. he hath not done so to other Nations. Hosea also aggravates this mercy Hos. 8. 12. I have written unto him the great things of my Law [Greek or Hebrew] amplitudines legis meae, where the Prophet makes the Law a precious gift deposited in the Jews hands. And to this may be referred all the benefits that the Psalmist and Prophets do make to come by the law of God: insomuch that it is a very great ingratitude and unthankfulness unto God, when people cry down the Law, and the preaching of it. That which God speaks of as a great mercy to a people, they do reject.
