Arg. 8 8. The sin of unmercifulness. 1. The unmerciful man is an unthankful man, and what can be said worse? Thou to whom the Lord hath given an estate, thy cup runs over, but hast a miserly heart, and wilt not part with any thing for good uses; 'tis death to thee to relieve them that are dying; know that thou art in the highest degree ungrateful; thou art not fit for humane society; The Scripture hath put these two together, unthankful, without natural affection, 2 Tim. 3.2, 3. God may repent that ever he gave such men estates, and may say, as Hos. 2.9. Therefore will I return and take away my corn, and my wine in the season thereof, and will recover my wool and my flax.
