1Bountiful.) God is also called bountiful, 1. Because he createth and governeth all things. 2. He is the only fountain of all good things, 3. which befall to all creatures, 4. Yea, to the wicked, 5. Of his goodness, love, and free mercy towards all creatures, 6. But especially towards mankind, which he hath made according to his image, and for whose sake he hath created all other things; 7. But in them also chiefly towards his Church, to whom he hath opened himself and his will; 8. And in this his Church, towards his chosen Angels and men, to whom by his Son he giveth life and glory everlasting. And further, whom he is angry with, and on whom he inflicteth punishment, he is not angry with their substance or nature which himself created, but with that corruption which came by other means to his divine work:2 The wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness. Object. No creature visible is subject to so many evils as man: Therefore he is not bountiful towards men. Answ. He is subject to these evils by an accident, that is, because of sin: but withal he is enriched above other creatures, with great blessings, even when he is out of the Church: but is most happy and blessed if he repent.
