1And to the safety of his chosen.) That is, to the life, joy, wisdom, righteousness, glory, & everlasting felicity of his Church. And that to these ends (even to the glory of God, & safety of his chosen) all the counsels & works of God, & in them also the punishments of sin, are referred of God, ought to be out of controversy: seeing in all them is beheld the glory of God, and his fatherly care towards his Church. The heavens declare the glory of God, and the firmament showeth his handy work. 2For my names sake will I defer my wrath. We know that all things work together for the best, unto them that love God. Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents, but that the works of God should be showed in him. God useth also sin or corruption it self (which yet himself worketh not, but sufferreth to concur with his own action in the wicked.) 1. To show forth both his justice in punishing it, and his mercy in remitting it. 2. To work in us a hatred of sin, true humility, and an imploring of Gods grace, and thankfulness for our delivery from sin and death. The Lord hath made all things for his own sake, 3even the wicked but not wickedness) for the day of evil.
