1Merciful.) The mercy or favour and inclinable will of God to preserve his creature, and especially mankind, the Scripture proposeth unto us, opened by these degrees: §11. That he taketh delight in the salvation of all, but in the destruction of none: As I live, saith the Lord God, I desire not the death of the wicked, but that the wicked turn from his way, and live. §22. That he deferreth, mitigateth,2 and taketh away punishments; inviting all men by his long-suffering to repentance, if not one way, yet by the testimony of their conscience: hereof he is said to be slow to anger. §333. That he debaseth himself to relieve our infirmity both by inward and outward supplies, as by his Spirit, word, oaths, sacraments and miracles. §44. That he embraceth with singular love his chosen: so that he saveth and delivereth them for ⟨p. 164⟩ever from sin and all evils, and comforteth them also in afflictions. Repl. God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes. 4Though a woman should forget her child, yet will I not forget thee. §55. That he chose rather to bring to pass this our delivery, even by the incarnation and death of his only begotten Son, then that all mankind should perish. So God loved the world, 5that he gave his only begotten Son. §66. That he promiseth and performeth all these things of his own free goodness: I will show mercy to whom I will show mercy: 6and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion. I, even I am he that putteth away thine iniquities for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins.
