Not that there is any grief in God; he has infinite joy and
happiness in himself, which cannot be broken in upon by either
the sins or the miseries of his creatures. Not that there is
any change in God; for he is of one mind, and who can turn
him? But his goodness is his glory; by it he proclaims his
name, and magnifies it; and as he is pleased to put himself
into the relation of a father to his people, so he is pleased
to represent his goodness to them by the compassion of a
father to his children; for as he is the Father of lights, so
is he the Father of mercies.
