THE Lord our God, (according to the confession of the Leuites, in the ninth of Nehemiah,) is a GOD of mercies; gracious, and pittifull: of long suffering, and of great mercie.
Hee is (as Dauid saith) good to all: and his mercies are ouer [or aboue] all the rest of his workes.
Yea; hee is full of compassion & mercy, slow to anger, and of great kindnesse. Hee will not alway chide, neither will he keepe his anger for euer.
Hee hath not dealt with vs after our sins, nor rewarded vs according to our iniqui∣ties. For, as high as the heauen is aboue the earth, so great is his mercie toward thē that feare him: and as far as the East is from the West, so farre hath he remoued our sinnes from vs. * As a Father hath compassion on his children, so hath the Lord compassion on them that feare him: For, hee knoweth whereof we be made, hee remembreth that wee are but dust.
