kingdom_n of_o heaven_n but_o if_o you_o think_v this_o distance_n of_o height_n from_o earth_n to_o heaven_n not_o sufficient_o to_o express_v the_o greatness_n of_o god_n mercy_n then_o take_v the_o

sufficient_o express_v the_o greatness_n of_o god_n mercy_n see_v they_o be_v the_o great_a distance_n that_o humane_a apprehension_n be_v capable_a to_o conceive_v but_o if_o you_o be_v not_o

to_o they_o that_o fear_v he_o be_v not_o in_o a_o very_a high_a degree_n certain_o if_o any_o name_n can_v express_v a_o great_a pity_n than_o the_o name_n of_o a_o father_n christ_n will_v never_o have_v teach_v we_o to_o use_v this_o name_n in_o make_v our_o prayer_n and_o who_o can_v be_v so_o fit_a to_o make_v this_o comparison_n as_o david_n who_o give_v a_o testimony_n of_o it_o in_o

god_n pity_n be_v match_v and_o this_o example_n reach_v home_o to_o express_v the_o greatness_n of_o god_n pity_n to_o the_o full_a no_o my_o soul_n it_o be_v too_o short_a yet_o for_o though_o the_o pity_n of_o a_o father_n may_v reach_v to_o be_v willing_a to_o die_v for_o his_o child_n yet_o god_n pity_n reach_v further_a not_o only_o to_o be_v willing_a to_o die_v but_o to_o die_v indeed_o and_o not_o only_o for_o a_o child_n but_o for_o his_o enemy_n for_o when_o we_o be_v enemy_n even_o than_o do_v christ_n very_a god_n die_v for_o we_o that_o god_n pity_n hold_v the_o supremacy_n still_o and_o can_v indeed_o be_v match_v alas_o it_o can_v be_v express_v by_o any_o thing_n that_o be_v in_o man_n but_o though_o there_o may_v be_v comparison_n in_o the_o tenderness_n of_o their_o

and_o never_o without_o relieve_v that_o though_o it_o be_v common_o say_v it_o be_v better_a to_o be_v envy_v then_o pity_v yet_o here_o it_o be_v not_o so_o but_o it_o be_v a_o far_o happy_a thing_n to_o be_v pity_v of_o god_n then_o to_o be_v envy_v of_o man_n but_o who_o be_v it_o that_o god_n pity_v only_o they_o that_o fear_v he_o and_o indeed_o fear_n be_v a_o thing_n that_o deserve_v to_o

fear_n be_v all_o one_o i_o may_v say_v with_o love_n and_o differ_v but_o in_o the_o object_n for_o look_v upon_o god_n justice_n we_o fear_v he_o and_o look_v upon_o his_o mercy_n we_o love_v he_o although_o we_o love_v he_o for_o his_o justice_n too_o and_o we_o fear_v he_o for_o his_o mercy_n too_o for_o as_o there_o be_v mercy_n with_o he_o that_o he_o may_v be_v fear_v so_o there_o be_v
