is moi’: naturall to God, flowing from him as water from the

which hath two corners; with the one it draweth:-to, with the
other it puts the Iron from it.G0d1('bel0V€d') hath two Acrmes,

Solomon intimateth, Judgement is not prefently executed a-

elememia, infeitia but tolemmiiz,‘ a mercifull patience, not an
ignorant negligence; and however though he have woollen
feet yet his Hands are Iron, his executions may be flow, they
will be fure, it'is one of his choyce attributes by no mum: to
