1 First admiring Gods goodness that we do live at this time, and that we have liberty to come before him; we might have been past praying and worshipping of God: think thus, What a Mercy is it that we are not banished out of Gods presence, that ⟨p. 85⟩the Lord hath not spurned us out of his sight as filth, and cast us out as an everlasting abhorring, while others have bin praying we might have bin yelling under the wrath of the eternal God: Come with this apprehension of thy self, and adore Gods goodness, that thou art alive to pray, and alive to hear Gods Word. And that it is not only a duty, but a rich privilege and mercy that God will admit of thee to come into his presence. Again, it is the goodness of God, that he will vouchsafe to look upon the things that are done in heaven, then if the Lord doth humble himself to behold the things that are done in heaven, then how doth the Lord humble himself to behold me a poor vile captive as I am in my self: and yet that God should not only behold me before him, but invite me to come into his presence; What mercy and goodness is this!
