Here again I only detain the Reader to remark, that while we read these scriptures, which point out Jehovah as the universal parent of nature; what a glorious addition to the subject doth it become, to take into the contemplation Jehovah under those endearing characters, as the Father of mercies, and the God of all grace. What titles are these! And what a blessed thing, when we know him under those characters in our own experience. Reader! think of God the Father under those precious titles. As a Father of mercies, he begets mercies as his people need them. And as the God of all grace, he hath all sorts of grace, and all degrees of grace; large, full, great, unceasing. God is able (saith the apostle) to make all grace abound towards you, 2 Corinthians 9:8; 1 Peter 5:10. What a blessed consideration to every poor sinner, conscious of his need, whatever his need be, that God hath pardoning grace, quickening grace, strengthening grace, restraining and preventing grace; yea, all grace.
