See Gods Goodness who often passeth by the failings of his People^*,² and takes Notice of the good in them, He hearkened and heard. 1 Pet. 3.6. Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him Lord. The Holy Ghost passeth by her unbelief and Laughing at the Promise, and took Notice of her reverence to her Husband, she called him Lord. Jam. 5.11. Ye have heard of the Patience of Job. We have heard of his Impatience, cursing his Birth-day: But the Lord doth not upbraid him with that, but observes the good that was in him; ye have heard of the Patience of Job. The Painter who drew Alexander's Picture, Drew him with his finger upon his Scar; so God puts a finger of Mercy upon the Scars of his Children. He sees their Faith, ⟨p. 134⟩and Winks at their failing.
