CHAP. XIX. The Third part of the Saints Reward, Gods sparing them.
3. THE Third part of the Saints reward is Gods Sparing them. I will spare them as a man spareth his own Son that serveth him. The Hebrew word to spare *signifies to use Clemency: In this Phrase is a Meiosis, there is less said and more intended; I will spare them, that is, I will deal with them as a Father doth with his Son: the same tenderness that a Father shows to his Child, the same will I show to them that Fear me.
