jehovah_n strong_a merciful_a and_o gracious_a etc._n etc._n that_o be_v almighty_n what_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o that_o that_o he_o be_v almighty_a the_o meaning_n of_o it_o be_v this_o that_o the_o lord_n have_v all_o the_o excellency_n those_o which_o we_o call_v grace_n and_o virtue_n and_o quality_n in_o man_n all_o these_o abound_v in_o the_o lord_n for_o what_o serve_v any_o virtue_n for_o or_o any_o quality_n that_o you_o have_v but_o to_o enable_v you_o to_o do_v something_o if_o a_o man_n have_v any_o science_n or_o art_n that_o be_v but_o to_o enable_v he_o to_o do_v that_o which_o without_o it_o he_o can_v do_v if_o a_o man_n have_v the_o art_n of_o arithmetic_n he_o be_v able_a to_o number_n or_o if_o he_o have_v the_o art_n of_o logic_n he_o be_v able_a to_o dispute_v

that_o which_o enable_v we_o to_o endure_v affliction_n so_o all_o that_o be_v excellent_a in_o man_n all_o those_o amiable_a those_o beautiful_a quality_n wherewith_o the_o soul_n be_v adorn_v be_v but_o so_o far_o good_a as_o they_o enable_v a_o man_n to_o do_v this_o or_o that_o now_o when_o the_o lord_n be_v say_v to_o be_v almighty_a the_o meaning_n be_v he_o have_v all_o excellency_n in_o he_o and_o he_o have_v it_o in_o the_o high_a degree_n for_o in_o this_o sense_n god_n be_v able_a to_o do_v more_o than_o any_o man_n in_o regard_n of_o excellency_n whatsoever_o a_o man_n be_v able_a to_o do_v you_o know_v how_o infinite_o the_o lord_n have_v it_o beyond_o he_o he_o be_v able_a to_o do_v so_o much_o more_o as_o he_o be_v beyond_o any_o man_n for_o that_o power_n that_o attribute_n that_o quality_n that_o be_v in_o man_n it_o be_v not_o a_o quality_n in_o he_o he_o have_v it_o beyond_o any_o man_n again_o when_o a_o man_n be_v able_a to_o do_v one_o thing_n yet_o he_o be_v not_o able_a to_o do_v another_o one_o creature_n be_v able_a to_o do_v this_o another_o that_o but_o the_o lord_n be_v almighty_a therefore_o he_o be_v able_a to_o do_v all_o thing_n and_o therefore_o this_o be_v a_o kind_n of_o excellency_n that_o be_v the_o second_o description_n he_o be_v jehovah_n and_o he_o be_v almighty_a but_o now_o when_o you_o hear_v that_o the_o lord_n be_v thus_o constant_a and_o thus_o exceed_v in_o excellency_n a_o man_n will_v be_v ready_a to_o say_v what_o be_v this_o to_o i_o i_o be_o a_o sinful_a man_n there_o be_v nothing_o in_o i_o but_o that_o which_o may_v turn_v away_o the_o lord_n from_o i_o and_o cause_v he_o to_o abhor_v i_o well_o say_v he_o to_o comfort_v you_o know_v that_o i_o be_o merciful_a exceed_v pitiful_a exceed_v ready_a to_o forgive_v though_o your_o sin_n be_v exceed_v many_o though_o they_o be_v exceed_o great_a yet_o the_o lord_n he_o be_v merciful_a he_o be_v ready_a to_o pass_v by_o all_o those_o infirmity_n and_o that_o be_v another_o of_o his_o excellency_n you_o know_v we_o reckon_v it_o a_o very_a amiable_a thing_n in_o a_o man_n when_o we_o see_v he_o pitiful_a this_o do_v more_o abound_v in_o the_o lord_n than_o in_o any_o creature_n there_o be_v no_o man_n in_o the_o world_n so_o ready_a to_o forgive_v as_o god_n if_o he_o be_v not_o god_n if_o he_o be_v as_o man_n my_o brethren_n can_v he_o bear_v with_o we_o as_o he_o do_v let_v we_o do_v to_o a_o man_n injury_n and_o injury_n again_o and_o again_o and_o never_o give_v over_o what_o man_n can_v bear_v it_o do_v he_o not_o in_o the_o end_n withdraw_v himself_o and_o will_v no_o more_o be_v reconcile_v but_o it_o be_v not_o so_o with_o the_o lord_n when_o we_o have_v do_v all_o yet_o return_v to_o i_o say_v the_o lord_n jer._n 3.2_o well_o but_o if_o we_o have_v such_o sin_n in_o we_o suppose_v the_o lord_n be_v merciful_a and_o ready_a to_o forgive_v but_o yet_o there_o be_v no_o goodness_n in_o we_o we_o have_v nothing_o in_o we_o why_o he_o shall_v regard_v we_o and_o why_o he_o shall_v look_v after_o we_o to_o that_o it_o be_v answer_v the_o lord_n be_v gracious_a that_o be_v though_o there_o be_v no_o worth_n find_v in_o you_o yet_o he_o be_v ready_a to_o do_v you_o good_a as_o grace_v you_o know_v be_v proper_a to_o a_o prince_n or_o a_o great_a man_n that_o be_v say_v to_o be_v gracious_a to_o his_o

and_o to_o be_v gracious_a be_v to_o do_v thing_n free_o when_o there_o be_v no_o motive_n no_o wage_n when_o there_o be_v nothing_o to_o win_v he_o but_o of_o free_a grace_n he_o do_v it_o so_o the_o lord_n do_v what_o he_o do_v of_o his_o free_a grace_n he_o have_v mercy_n on_o who_o he_o will_v have_v mercy_n that_o be_v when_o all_o man_n do_v stand_v before_o he_o alike_o though_o there_o be_v

be_v gracious_a though_o there_o be_v nothing_o in_o we_o to_o win_v that_o love_n at_o his_o hand_n well_o but_o yet_o we_o may_v be_v ready_a to_o object_n it_o be_v true_a the_o lord_n have_v be_v thus_o to_o i_o he_o have_v be_v very_o merciful_a to_o forgive_v i_o my_o sin_n he_o have_v be_v very_o gracious_a to_o i_o to_o show_v i_o favour_n when_o i_o never_o deserve_v it_o but_o after_o

do_v you_o think_v that_o he_o have_v put_v off_o that_o disposition_n be_v he_o not_o the_o same_o still_o as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o hebrew_n be_v he_o not_o a_o merciful_a high_a priest_n still_o and_o that_o the_o bowel_n of_o compassion_n in_o he_o melt_v over_o a_o stray_a sinner_n and_o be_v ready_a to_o receive_v he_o his_o bowel_n yearn_v within_o he_o and_o therefore_o doubt_v not_o

shall_v be_v of_o none_o effect_v and_o therefore_o it_o can_v be_v but_o god_n must_v be_v ready_a to_o receive_v they_o so_o that_o there_o be_v no_o difficulty_n in_o he_o all_o the_o difficulty_n be_v in_o ourselves_o we_o be_v not_o willing_a to_o come_v pardon_v again_o if_o we_o consider_v what_o he_o have_v do_v for_o other_o how_o many_o he_o have_v receive_v to_o mercy_n when_o one_o

one_o shall_v come_v to_o a_o physician_n of_o who_o he_o have_v hear_v a_o great_a fame_n and_o if_o he_o shall_v meet_v with_o hundred_o by_o the_o way_n of_o his_o patient_n and_o all_o of_o they_o shall_v tell_v he_o he_o have_v cure_v they_o and_o heal_v they_o it_o will_v encourage_v a_o man_n to_o go_v on_o with_o confidence_n or_o if_o one_o shall_v come_v to_o a_o well_o of_o which_o he_o have_v hear_v much_o and_o shall_v meet_v with_o hundred_o of_o people_n by_o the_o way_n and_o all_o of_o they_o shall_v tell_v he_o we_o have_v be_v at_o the_o well_o and_o it_o have_v cure_v we_o and_o make_v we_o whole_a this_o will_v encourage_v a_o man_n to_o go_v with_o confidence_n because_o of_o the_o multitude_n that_o have_v try_v the_o experience_n of_o it_o so_o we_o shall_v run_v to_o christ_n when_o so_o many_o thousand_o have_v be_v forgive_v why_o shall_v not_o these_o persuade_v we_o that_o he_o be_v ready_a to_o forgive_v we_o as_o paul_n say_v he_o have_v show_v mercy_n to_o i_o that_o other_o may_v believe_v in_o god_n i_o be_o a_o example_n for_o they_o to_o trust_v in_o god_n therefore_o when_o we_o see_v he_o have_v forgive_v other_o so_o many_o and_o so_o great_a sin_n why_o shall_v we_o doubt_v again_o if_o christ_n shall_v not_o be_v ready_a to_o receive_v we_o no_o flesh_n shall_v be_v save_v nor_o there_o be_v no_o man_n that_o will_v fear_v he_o or_o hear_v he_o psal._n 130.3_o there_o the_o same_o argument_n be_v use_v if_o thou_o lord_n shall_v mark_v iniquity_n who_o shall_v stand_v but_o there_o be_v mercy_n with_o thou_o that_o thou_o may_v be_v fear_v that_o be_v if_o god_n shall_v not_o be_v pitiful_a to_o mankind_n and_o ready_a to_o receive_v they_o notwithstanding_o their_o manifold_a fail_n and_o infirmity_n and_o rebellion_n they_o be_v subject_a unto_o no_o flesh_n shall_v be_v save_v but_o all_o the_o world_n shall_v perish_v again_o save_v not_o so_o only_o but_o god_n himself_o shall_v not_o be_v worship_v man_n will_v not_o regard_v he_o man_n will_v not_o serve_v he_o therefore_o i_o say_v of_o necessity_n god_n must_v have_v mercy_n upon_o man_n that_o they_o may_v fear_v he_o and_o serve_v he_o and_o that_o man_n may_v be_v willing_a to_o serve_v take_v a_o hard_a master_n a_o cruel_a king_n a_o man_n that_o shut_v out_o man_n and_o exclude_v they_o that_o have_v no_o hope_n there_o be_v none_o that_o will_v serve_v such_o a_o man_n there_o be_v no_o man_n that_o will_v come_v in_o to_o he_o but_o there_o be_v mercy_n with_o the_o lord_n that_o he_o may_v be_v fear_v and_o worship_v and_o man_n may_v come_v in_o and_o worship_v he_o and_o therefore_o doubt_v not_o but_o christ_n be_v willing_a to_o receive_v you_o if_o all_o this_o will_v not_o persuade_v you_o yet_o in_o isaiah_n
