Thus will I do, to destroy the Sin; but prepare to meet me, to the end that I may not destroy the sinner. 'Tis true we read that when Adrastes had kill'd the Son of King Croesus, Croesus was so touch'd with that very Murderer's Humiliation, as at that very time to pronounce his Pardon. A Temper (ye will say) in an Heathen Prince, which the greatest part of Christians would admire sooner than imitate. But how transcendently greater is the Patience and the Love of our God to Us? For although by continuing in our Impieties, we often Crucify his Son, he is not only inclinable to give a Pardon, or a Reprieve, but does invite and desire us to give him leave too. |
