First, Goodness and mercy in God is that wherein he Glories: it's true, the Lord is high above man in all excellencies, 1but mark here how he glories that he is a God and not man in the point of execution of wrath: Many glory in their anger, and make that to be their excellency, and their bravery, Oh they are brave men and of brave spirits when they can vent their wrath, when they can rail and speak evil, and make others to come and submit to them, and strike or punish them, why now they are brave men, I'll make you do thus and thus: as in a Family you shall have sometimes a poor man or woman manifest abundance of pride of spirit as if they were Princes and 2Monarchs, they will do thus and thus, and you think your selves to be of brave spirits; but mark, God glories in this, that he doth not execute the fierceness of his anger.
