It sweetens all his love and mercy, and goodness unto you; God is Eternal, 1and his love to you is an Eternal love; there never shall come the time when his love or his kindness, or his goodness, or his mercy shall cease towards you; All the creatures slip away, and come to their end, and though one creature outlives another, yet every creature at last is at his journeys end: There is an end of this man and his power, and an end of that man and his love; but God never comes to an end, and his power and his love never comes to an end: O what is this that God is God, and that he is our God for ever and ever, that his love is an Eternal love, and his mercy is an Eternal mercy, and his fullness is an Eternal fullness, and his blessedness is an Eternal blessedness.
