The mercy of God by Jesus Christ is highly Commended to us upon this Consideration, that he gives it not only in bounty, but in Compassion, there is not only liberality, but there is a pity in it: therefore he saith (Matth. 11.28.) Come unto me all ye that are weary and heavy laden, and I will give you rest. To give ease and refreshment to those that are weary and heavy laden, hath not only bounty & liberality, but Pity and Compassion in it. (Psal. 136.23.) Thanks to God who hath remembered us in our low Estate. It is an act of grace for God to remember us in our highest Estate, in our most flourishing Estate, but to remember us in our low Estate, then to give us in refreshings and Comforts, this is a clearer act of Grace. As it is said (Ps. 68.9.) Thou O God, didst send a plentiful rain, whereby thou didst confirm thine inheritance when it was weary. As the goodness of God is most seen in giving water to the weary, so is the wickedness of man in denying it. Eliphaz urgeth Job further with this uncharitableness.

As it is said (Ps. 68.9.) Thou O God, didst send a plentifull raine, whereby thou didst confirme thine inheritance when it was weary. As the goodnesse of God is most seene in giving water to the weary, so is the wickednesse of man in denying it. Eliphaz urgeth Job further with this uncharitablenesse.
