For Mercy.
The third Message about which the Clouds are sent or caused to come, is for favour. God dispenseth mercy by the Cloud, he causeth it to come for mercy. 1The Original word rendered mercy hath a great significancy in it, this especially, a bountiful goodwill towards others, without respect to merit, or any antecedent obligation. When here 'tis said He causeth it to come for Mercy, we are to understand much more than was meant before, when 'tis said, He causeth it to come for his land, to feed the beasts, and nourish the Plants; and I conceive we may give a twofold interpretation of it.
