One deep calls upon another deep, the depth of thy sins and misery, draws unto it, and calls upon the depth of mercy. The mercy of God is above all his works, Psal. 147. It is not only above all his works to cover them all, and under them to uphold them; but it is beyond them all, his mercy exceeds all other attributes to the creature. It is above his works, and upon his works, and under his works, and it is above thy works too. He is more glorious in his mercy then in any other attribute: he doth all for the glory of his mercy, both in the Creation, and in the Gospel: his mercy therefore is above his own works, and above thy works if thou come in.
