And surely if we knew our owne vilenesse well (as it hath beene discovered to us, by this Doctrine of originall sinne) and could also have grace seriously to thinke of it, our soules would also magnifie the Lord and our spirits would rejoyce in God our Saviour, Gods mercies would be sweeter to us then they are, we could not choose but wonder, that the Lord should be so gracious and good to us, that are even by nature so alienated from him, and enemies in our minds unto him, as the Apostle speaketh, Col. 1.21. Every imagination of the thoughts of whose hearts, are onely evill continually, Gen. 6.5. That he I say, should neverthelesse be so good and gracious unto us, as he is, It would make every one of us say oft unto the Lord as Mephibosheth once did to David, 2 Sam. 9.8. |
