Sixthly, let us make these mercies as so many bridges to lead us over to better mercies: to such mercies, which are at Gods right 1hand, and in his right hand; and which are the mercies of his right hand. All temporal mercies are the mercies of Gods left hand, which he gives to many whom he will put at his left hand at the day of Judgement. Spiritual mercies are the mercies of his right hand, and mercies in his right hand, For his right hand is full of righteousness: Let us be earnest Petitioners for those mercies, 2which whosoever hath, shall be placed at the right hand of Christ, at the day of Judgement; and shall be made partakers of those everlasting pleasures, which are at Gods right hand. Let us not be like that woman, that when •er husband sent her a jewel as a token of his love, to put her in mind of him, fell in love with the jewel and forgot her husband. Let us not make these mercies our God, but bridges to lead us over unto God.
