publique to his glory his glory it is to passe by transgressions it is a great glory to passe by many transgressions if it be his peculiar glory to passe by any Where sinne hath abounded grace abounds where grace abounds glory abounds where much sinne is pardoned He cals them to acknowledge his mercy and makes it an illustration of the former Take away our transgressions and receive us graciously That is the first it is a clause of illustration Secondly observe it as a clause of inducement a motive and argument to perswade God to forgive them So it stands thus Take away iniquity because thou art gracious because thou usest to receive favourably therefore take away iniquity They begge for grace in the name of grace and mercy in the name of mercy shew mercy because thou art mercifull take away iniquity because thou art gracious and favourable therefore take away iniquity It is the strongest motive of all others to presse God from himselfe to pardon sin The point is this He that comes before God to begge for mercie must bring no other motive but mercie There is no such strong prevalent motive with God to shew mercy as mercy Mercy is the thing we sue for and mercy must make God shew it He expresseth it so I will pardon for my name sake in one place For mine owne sake in another place For my owne sake will I doe this to the House of Israell For my promise sake in another place For my mercy sake in another place Here are four and they are all alike to shew that mercy comes from it selfe it hath a reciprocation it moves circularly it begins in mercy and it ends there For mine owne sake that is for himselfe and his mercy is himselfe For my name sake that is as much as for my mercy Thy name is as Oyle powred out and it appeares that his name is as Oyle by his mercy for mercy is that Oyle that Swims over all liquors it appeares over all other works it is manifest to all For my promise sake that is as much as for his mercy for Gods Promises are Promises of mercy So all agree in this for my name sake it is a name of mercy for my Promise sake they are Promises of mercy for mine owne sake he is a God of mercy But yet more plaine when God speakes of shewing mercy he makes it come round to shew that mercy is the thing that he will give and the ground why he gives it In Exod. 33. I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy See how it runs it is thus I will have mercy on whom I will that is because I will so if we presse God for mercy doe it thus Lord be gracious that thou mayest be gracious and be mercyfull because thou art mercyfull Pardon because thou art gracious thy mercy hath an everlasting Duration The Psalmist presseth it so Have mercy on me according to thy great goodnesse and according to the multitude of thy mercies take away mine offences See how sweetly he presseth it Have mercy according to thy goodnesse he makes it come to it selfe Pardon me according to thy goodnesse be mercifull because thou art mercifull he had no other motive In another place he hath the same Reciprocation Doe good for thy name sake because thou art good deliver me because thou art good doe good and deliver me It is the same reciprocation that Isaiah makes Isa 63. He hath beene good to the House of Israell for his goodnesse and because his mercies are everlasting He hath beene good for his goodnesse To instance no more places in the new Testament there is the same reciprocation that John makes John 1. Of his fullnesse we all receive grace for grace mercy for mercy it is not onely grace after grace which is a good interpretation the first grace and the second grace the grace of Acceptation and the grace of Strengthning the grace of pardoning and the grace of reviving and quickning all grace is from God But it hath a fuller signification Grace for grace Grace because he is gracious because he is mercifull he shewes favour he turnes it to himselfe So now the Lession is this that When we come to sue for pardon of sin before the Throne of Grace we have no name to come in but the name of Christ The name of Christ is a name of mercy that is Gods owne name he that comes to plead his owne merit comes in his owne name He that comes to plead the Merits of any other pleads in a Strangers name If merit and satisfaction had been that way then were mercy no more mercy and grace no more grace then all the Saints of God were out of the way for they all went in this path Mercy was the Citty of refuge to which they went and the path by which they went Mercy was the Water in the Well and the Paile they drew it with they sued for mercy in the name of mercy The Publican David Peter St. Austin saith of Peter well I read of Peters Teares but no man ever read of Peters satisfaction Peter could not goe in that name Our blessed Saviour hath taught us therefore so to pray Forgive us our Trespasses he taught us not to pray as the Servant in the Gospell Have patience with me and I will pay thee all Lord be favourable a little longer lend me a little life and I will make thee satisfaction No that is not the Prayer he that goes that way misseth but here is the Prayer Pardon and forgive for thy name sake and for thy mercy sake Take away iniquity and receive us favourably receiue us to grace and Pardon for thy mercy sake This is the Forme that Penitent faith full soules look to God in No Creature is capable of merits therefore let men never trouble themselves with the discussion of that it is so repugnant that the Angells though they never sinned cannot merit they doe but their duty Adam in integrity could not merit if innocency cannot merit sin cannot if the State of Angells cannot merit humane cannot Nay the Saints that are called out of darknesse and sanctified by grace those Saints though it were possible they should never sin not so much as in the circumstances of any good Act that they should not be touched with veniall sins as they call them with no ill thought or idle word or unprofitable gesture if they were borne and sanctified from the womb as John Baptist and Jeremiah and should continue in a course of sanctification without any treading awry they could not merit when they had done all they must say They were unprofitable Servants He that doth his duty cannot merit ye are but Servants when you have done all you can nay when you have done all you should if it were possible that is more then all you can For that grace that God gives us though it be a good evidence of his spirit and of
