Answ. 2. Wherefore know in the second place that the great design that God hath in this work, is not only to manifest his power, but to set out before men, and Angels, to all eternity, the Riches and Glory of his free Grace. And therefore those objections of thy unworthiness may be taken away: for thou mayest see God doth not intend to go on with thee in a way of retribution or distributive Justice, if thou dost so, and so and so, he will do so, and so for thee, but he goes this way to work: that his great design is to magnify his free Grace, And whosoever he does deliver, it is for this end, to show to men and Angels, what the power of his infinite free Grace is able to do; and this is a great Encouragement.
