USE. 8.
Be ye merciful as your heavenly Father is merciful doth one mercy of God make way for another? let one good action (I mean of Mercy to your brother) make way for another, do not say I have done so much already, and therefore I may now go on in my covetousness, no, if so be thou hast gracious principles, one action of Mercy must make way for another, one forgiveness of thy brother in one thing, must make way for another, one action of liberality must make way for another thus God dealeth with thee, and do thou so with thy brother, for so is the command, Be ye merciful as your heavenly Father is merciful. Now the last Use which I intended most of all, and is the chief Use of the point, is this.
