The kindness of God contains four things in it.
The kindnesse of God contains foure things in it.
1. The sweetness of his loving nature unto his people without the least disdain of them, and harshness towards them; he will not bruise the bruised reed, nor 1despise the day of small things. 2. The easiness of the communication of himself and goodness unto them, 2as waters flow out from a full fountain. 3. His favourable encouragings, and acceptance of them in their persons and addresses unto him; as the father ran and embraced the returning child, and fell on his neck and kissed him. 4. His respectful tenders; helpful, forwardness of dealing with his people 3in all gentleness and elemency.
