Mercy is first, and Judgment afterwards. The Scripture 1makes a difference between our respect to Mercy & Judgment: that place in Micah, The Lord hath shown thee, O man, what he would have thee to do, LOVE MERCY, and 2DO JUSTICE: There should be a Preheminency in Mercy, Mercy must not only be shown, but loved; and Justice must be done. And then, Keep MERCY and JUDGMENT.

The mixture of Mercy and Judgment is very comely; The 1Scripture doth mix them very often, Psal. 101. 1. I will sing of Mercy and Judgment: and Prov. 21. 21. He that followeth after Righteousness and Mercy, findeth Life, Righteousness, and Honour.
