First, Considering his nature, he is willing and ready to do good; he is full of compassion, and to shew mercy pleaseth him more then it releeveth us.

Secondly, Considering his relation to his people: he is a Father. Will a Father let a Child lye comfortlesse, when he can help him? he is our Husband, he is our Freind, all relations provoke God to give out comfort to the Saints.

And as he knows how it is with us, so we are ever within his reach, he can lay his hand upon every joint where we are pained, and put a Plaster upon every wound: here is our happiness.
