Especially for that we in the time of our health forgetting him yet he is so mercifull that he giveth us not over with the world but for all wee have grieved his holy Spirit and fallen from grace he visiteth us againe and offereth it afresh unto us 4. That if his will had not beene to have shewed mercy by his chastisement hee could and would suddenly have taken you away with a quicke destruction and not given you this time to bethinke your selfe and to seeke and sue to him for grace Say When I am judged I am chastened of the Lord that I might not be condemned with the world 1 Cor. 11.32 Gods very punishment is a part of his mercy Psal. 89.31 It is the great mercy of the Lord that we are not suddenly consumed Lam. 3. 22.
