Q. 6. What is the third Instruction from God's Infinity?
A. The third Instruction is, That those who are reconciled to God in Christ, need not fear his ability to perform any mercy for them; for he is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we can ask or think, Ephes. 3.20, And those that are not reconciled, are in a very miserable condition, having infinite Power set on work to punish them. 2 Thes. 1.9. Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power.
