The glory of goodness. The goodness of God celebrated; in remarkable instances and improvements thereof: and more particularly in the redemption remarkably obtained for the English captives, which have been languishing under the tragical, and the terrible and the most barbarous cruelties of barbary. : [Six lines from Psalms]
printed by T. Green for Benjamin Eliot, 1703

First. That the Goodness of God hath plenteously and wondrously looked upon you, O my Hearers, This is most unquestionable. It was truly said, Psal 68.10. Thou, O God, hast prepared of thy goodness ⟨p. 26⟩for the Poor. Oh, There are none of you so Poor, so Low, so Mean, but the Riches of the Goodness of the most High God has reached you. There is none of you all, though never so Small, but the Goodness of God has done Thousands of Great Thing• for that person. There has not one day rolled over you, wherein the Goodness of God, hath not shone upon you with Rays far more than those of the Sun in the Firmament. GOODNESS, GOODNESS, is written every where in Capitals round about us. There is no speech where its Voice is not heard; and yet, Oh! That the Voice were duly heard! In short, O man, Art thou not yet out of Hell? This, This is from the most undeserved Goodness of God!
