Pray observe: Mercy, what can't it do? it can reclaim the Stubborn: it can soften the Impenitent: it can bring back those that are g•ue astray from God. God's Mercy, it can as well give Repentance to a Nation as Deliverance; Mercy can destroy the Sins of the Nation, and yet save the Nation. 'Tis a Healing Mercy:—I will heal their Backslidings.
Why, these are then some Dawnings, some sparks of Light, that God causes to arise in the midst of all our Darkness.
Quest.
But here's a Question, (and so I hasten to an end.) You will say unto me, But things they still look very bad and dark, and we would have more Light; now what must we do, how must we carry our selves, till God makes Light to arise to us in our Darkness? till Mercy comes riding to England in the Chariot of Salvation?
