Oh no, he will be whetting, and bending, and preparing, ⟨p. 145⟩1and all because it is a work that he is loth to go through withal (as it were) and this is the reason why God will not stir up his wrath, or if it be stirred up, he will call it back again. Lament. 3. 33. The Lord afflicts not willingly; neither doth he grieve the children of men; and all this is, because Gods nature is to be merciful, mercy pleases 2him, and the Lord doth perfectly foresee, and hath perfectly in his view all the reasons that might move him to mercy. As now thus: These are the things that makes God to be at a stand when he comes to execute judgment upon a people, or persons that have relation to him, where his Name is professed, and where himself is 3worshipped.
