He did (again) so exercise one Grace, as He might exercise another. He would so rejoyce in God, as He might grieve for sin; not His own, but ours: and He did so grieve for sin, as he might rejoyce in God. He was very Zealous, yet he was Wise too: He was wise, and yet he was Zealous too.

Behold Him in His Doings: The only way for you to be like to Him in your Doing, is to behold Him in His Doing.
