That, God stands much upon the clearing of Himself to be a God of love and mercy: Whatsoever becomes of wicked 1men, yet God will be cleared before all the world, that he is a God of much mercy; God takes it very ill that we should have any hard thoughts of him, let us not be ready to entertain such thoughts of God, as if he were a hard Master. I remember Luther hath such an expression, That, all the Scripture, the general scope of the Scripture it is, to declare the Lord to be a God of mercy and goodness; 2saith he, The whole Scriptures aim at this, That we should believe and be confident that God is a gracious and merciful God. And this is the scope of this Chapter. Let us rather charge our selves of wickedness, and ungrateful dealings with God, and let us for ever justify God and acknowledge him to be not only a Righteous God, but a Gracious God; though thou and thousands such as thou art shall perish to all eternity, yet the Lord shall be acknowledged a God of Mercy before his Angels and Saints for evermore. But thus much for the scope. ⟨p. 3⟩When Israel was a Child.
