Fourthly, 1Such a supposed cessation of Heavens glory is totally inconsistent with the mercy and goodness of God: that man of God, holy David, begins his Psalm of thanksgiving (in this lower Quire of Saints) with this strain, Oh give thanks unto the Lord, 2for he is good, for his mercy endureth for ever: And having begun in that strain, he can sing no other tune all the Psalm over, it is (as it were) the burden of the Song, For his mercy endureth for ever: And shall we imagine he is now turning his Hallelujahs to a lower key in that celestial Quire, to Him that sitteth upon the Throne, and to the Lamb!

No, 1mercy in God is not a moral or mortal virtue, but an essential Attribute, God himself eternal. Mercy in God hath been from eternity, and shall be to eternity; it can no more out live its objects, the vessels of mercy prepared unto glory, than it can cease to be mercy. God is the Father of mercies, and mercy can never go childless; God must exercise the infiniteness of his mercy extensive to all eternity, as well as intensive above all dimensions.
