round_o for_o mercy_n over_o all_o god_n work_n do_v stretch_v so_o far_o beyond_o man_n limit_v frail_a reach_n as_o to_o conceive_v of_o god_n eternity_n or_o how_o he_o all_o do_v out_o of_o nothing_o fetch_v darkness_n from_o light_n joy_v out_o of_o misery_n from_o war_n true_a peace_n high_a honour_n from_o humility_n 5_o thou_o god_n of_o mercy_n bless_a trinity_n who_o first_o in_o thy_o own_o image_n do_v create_v man_n pure_a and_o good_a but_o when_o hell_n subtlety_n have_v he_o deject_a from_o so_o happy_a state_n abandon_v to_o endless_a bale_n and_o hate_n that_o riches_n of_o thy_o mercy_n may_v appear_v do_v for_o thy_o mercy_n sake_n regenerate_v and_o all_o his_o score_n by_o thy_o blood_n price_n do_v clear_v grant_v i_o may_v right_o sing_v and_o practice_v mercy_n here_o 6_o which_o be_v a_o certain_a pitiful_a regard_n which_o we_o of_o other_o misery_n conceive_v whereby_o our_o heart_n be_v move_v and_o prepare_v they_o what_o we_o can_v to_o succour_v and_o relieve_v that_o passion_n and_o affection_n which_o do_v grieve_v man_n heart_n to_o see_v another_o misery_n do_v not_o unto_o the_o almighty_n mercy_n cleave_v no_o more_o than_o anger_n hate_n and_o jealousy_n as_o they_o distemper_n be_v be_v in_o the_o trinity_n 7_o no_o word_n indeed_o can_v proper_o express_v god_n mercy_n anger_n hate_n or_o jealousy_n but_o as_o we_o see_v their_o fruit_n we_o they_o confess_v to_o be_v in_o god_n by_o anthropopathy_n god_n punishment_n of_o foul_a iniquity_n we_o call_v revenge_n but_o when_o he_o grace_n do_v show_v to_o those_o which_o be_v in_o woe_n and_o misery_n we_o call_v that_o mercy_n not_o but_o we_o well_o know_v no_o passion_n or_o distemper_n in_o god_n nature_n grow_v 8_o that_o mercy_n may_v the_o plainely_o be_v descri'de_v and_o we_o her_o diverse_a nature_n better_o know_v i_o she_o into_o two_o current_n do_v divide_v the_o mercy_n god_n on_o creature_n do_v bestow_v and_o that_o which_o he_o require_v of_o we_o below_o for_o as_o god_n be_v by_o nature_n pitiful_a so_o he_o delight_v in_o they_o that_o mercy_n show_v for_o he_o by_o nature_n be_v most_o merciful_a and_o therefore_o unto_o all_o in_o fruit_n most_o plentiful_a 9_o god_n nature_n be_v eternal_a infinite_a so_o be_v his_o mercy_n stretch_v out_o to_o all_o even_o as_o the_o sun_n to_o man_n and_o beast_n give_v light_a and_o rain_v on_o bad_a and_o good_a alike_o do_v fall_v but_o this_o we_o call_v god_n mercy_n general_a which_o last_v but_o for_o a_o time_n but_o on_o the_o just_a he_o show_v his_o mercy_n more_o especial_a which_o everlasting_a be_v wherein_o we_o trust_v and_o whereby_o he_o to_o bliss_n will_v raise_v we_o from_o the_o dust._n 10_o but_o here_o we_o must_v have_v a_o especial_a care_n lest_o difference_n of_o god_n mercy_n we_o confound_v not_o special_a everlasting_a grace_n to_o share_v where_o he_o but_o common_a general_a do_v propound_v this_o be_v a_o firm_a position_n true_a and_o sound_a that_o god_n in_o unbelief_n have_v shut_v up_o all_o that_o his_o great_a mercy_n may_v to_o all_o abound_v unto_o the_o wicked_a common_a general_a eternal_a unto_o they_o that_o on_o he_o right_o call_v 11_o god_n grant_v to_o i_o this_o mercy_n special_a that_o of_o man_n mercy_n i_o may_v right_o inquire_v that_o teach_v i_o may_v practice_v it_o withal_o the_o mercy_n that_o god_n do_v of_o we_o require_v of_o which_o a_o twofold_a kind_n make_v one_o entire_a first_o towards_o sinner_n that_o do_v go_v astray_o the_o next_o to_o poor_a and_o those_o that_o help_v desire_n first_o pity_v soul_n and_o lead_v they_o in_o right_a way_n the_o last_o supply_v their_o want_n that_o need_v have_v every_o day_n 12_o for_o as_o man_n soul_n be_v his_o most_o noble_a part_n whereon_o his_o sole_a eternal_a bliss_n depend_v so_o he_o the_o great_a mercy_n do_v impart_v who_o to_o poor_a wander_a soul_n his_o mercy_n send_v he_o that_o give_v to_o the_o poor_a he_o sure_o lend_v to_o god_n that_o will_v fourfold_a his_o gift_n repay_v but_o who_o to_o save_v poor_a soul_n his_o mercy_n spend_v shall_v sure_o obtain_v those_o crown_n at_o that_o great_a day_n which_o god_n do_v up_o in_o store_n for_o such_o soule-saver_n lay_v 13_o in_o man_n we_o diverse_a outward_a cause_n see_v which_o they_o to_o mercy_n and_o compassion_n move_v some_o by_o remembrance_n of_o like_a misery_n which_o in_o themselves_o they_o former_o do_v prove_v some_o kindred_n youth_n acquaintance_n friendly_a love_n learning_n nobility_n to_o pity_v lead_v but_o none_o of_o these_o cause_n mercy_n from_o above_o but_o it_o from_o god_n sole_a goodness_n do_v proceed_v and_o not_o from_o any_o thing_n that_o in_o our_o nature_n breed_n 14_o therefore_o as_o god_n do_v on_o we_o mercy_n show_v for_o the_o great_a riches_n only_o of_o his_o grace_n so_o we_o no_o other_o cause_n of_o mercy_n know_v whereby_o our_o fellow_n member_n we_o embrace_v but_o his_o sole_a grace_n who_o mercy_n do_v deface_v even_o work_v hand-writing_n once_o against_o we_o bring_v no_o work_n of_o mercy_n can_v in_o heaven_n have_v place_n in_o faith_n and_o charity_n that_o be_v not_o wrought_v then_o mercy_n work_v for_o show_v or_o merit_v come_v to_o nought_o 15_o none_o can_v to_o mercy_n perfectness_n attain_v but_o only_a god_n who_o mercy_n be_v over_o all_o no_o number_n can_v our_o misery_n contain_v yet_o god_n in_o store_n have_v mercy_n for_o they_o all_o only_o in_o word_n god_n mercy_n do_v not_o fall_v but_o most_o in_o fruit_n and_o comfort_n do_v abound_v as_o mercy_n have_v no_o measure_n so_o withal_o her_o fruit_n and_o work_n all_o number_n do_v confound_v man_n life_n a_o daily_a exercise_n thereof_o be_v find_v 16_o it_o be_v not_o a_o heavy_a heart_n or_o grieve_a mind_n compassionate_a of_o other_o misery_n whereby_o afflict_a soul_n no_o profit_n find_v but_o as_o our_o heart_n so_o our_o ability_n must_v minister_v to_o saint_n necessity_n they_o that_o the_o heart_n and_o hand_n in_o this_o disjoin_v faith_n and_o good_a work_n to_o sunder_o do_v devise_v if_o first_o our_o heart_n to_o mercy_n true_a incline_v good_a word_n &_o work_n from_o thence_o as_o true_a effect_n will_v shine_v 17_o for_o in_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n be_v mercy_n throne_n the_o subject_n where_o true_a mercy_n do_v abide_v all_o stream_n of_o mercy_n that_o from_o thence_o do_v fly_v be_v as_o the_o fountain_n pure_a from_o which_o they_o slide_v then_o like_o god_n mercy_n they_o do_v spread_v out_o wide_a first_o feed_v soul_n that_o pine_v for_o heavenly_a food_n next_o for_o the_o poor_a and_o hungry_a they_o provide_v for_o all_o in_o need_n that_o of_o our_o help_n have_v stand_v and_o like_v to_o widow_n oil_n increase_v by_o do_v good_a 18_o then_o we_o they_o true_o work_v of_o mercy_n call_v when_o from_o unfeigned_a mercy_n they_o proceed_v for_o sure_a it_o be_v the_o heart_n that_o season_v all_o which_o make_v merciful_a in_o word_n and_o deed_n thus_o we_o relieve_v the_o poor_a that_o be_v in_o need_n and_o widow_n orphan_n stranger_n entertain_n we_o clothe_v the_o naked_a
