Justice is God's strange Work, Isa. 28. 21. He is not so much used to that: But Mercy it is his proper Work, it flows naturally from him, as the Honey from the Bee, or as the Myrrh ⟨p. 22⟩drops from the Myrrh-tree.

O! Love and Pity will do great things.—In his Love and in his Pity he Redeemed them.
