If grace hath its denomination from hence, Then surely this Obs. 2 grace of mercy is most excellent, because the whole frame of the new man is set out by it, and by this it is expressed. When we use to set out the whole of any thing by a part, we do not express it by an inferior part, but in some thing which is eminent in it, as by prayer many times is expressed the whole worship of God, as be that calls upon the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ shall be saved.1

Expos. 1 As the morning cloud: and as the early dew.] In these words God charges this people for three things in which their notorious hypocrisy was expressed.1 For their vacuity and emptiness, their words were empty sounds, they were clouds without water as Jude expresses it; Jude, 12. 'tis the high commendation of Christians to be full of God, of Christ, and full of grace and knowledge: of which Ephraim had a show, but it was but a show.
