It's the Answer of Mr. Calvin here, He doth accommodate 1himself (saith he) to our rudeness; God who disdained not to take mans nature upon him, disdained not to ⟨p. 140⟩act in the person of a man, who being much wronged, is reasoning in himself what to do, his heart is full of pity, his bowels yearn, and he would fain find a way for mercy; and when provocation of execution comes in in his mind, it is as a dagger to his heart. Oh! how shall I do this?
