A Divine Cordial

3. The Goodness of God works for good two ways. 1. Gods goodness is a means to make us good, Rom. 2.4. The goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance. The goodness of God is a spiritual Sun-beam to melt the heart into tears. Oh saith the soul, Hath God been so good to me? hath he reprieved me so long from Hell, and shall I grieve his Spirit any more? shall I sin against Goodness? 2. The goodness of God works for good, as it ushers in a•l our blessings. The daily favours we receive, are the silver streams which flow from the Fountains of Gods goodness. This Divine Attribute of Goodness, brings in two sort• of blessings. 1. Common Blessings. All partake of these; the bad as well as the good: This sweet dew falls upon the Thistle, as well as the Rose, Psal. 33.5. 2. Crowning Blessings. These only the godly partake of, Psal. 103.4. Who crowneth us with loving kindness. Thus the blessed Attributes of God work for good to the Saints.
