Here is matter of Admiration, even to force us to stand amazed at the endless compassion of a Saviour. Why should he pass by so many? as good, and better than our selves, as we came out of the Lyons of Adam, yet to knock at our doors, call upon us? John, 14.22. Lord, why wilt thou show thy self to us, and not unto the world? Why shed his blood for us? send his Spirit to us? why pass by so many provocations, and pity, and pardon us? As Solomon, Behold the Heaven is not able to contain thee, how shall this so poor a Tent? So thou of thy heart; and is it possible? Or as she, How comes it, that the Mother of my Lord is come unto me? It was Moses his Dispute, Deut. 4.34. Did ever God assay? &c. Did ever people hear God? &c. But they have God dwelling in them.
