6. MERCY AND LOVE.
God hath two wings which He doth ever move;
The one is mercy, and the next is love:
Under the first the sinners ever trust;
And with the last He still directs the just.

7. GOD'S ANGER WITHOUT AFFECTION.
God when He's angry here with anyone,
His wrath is free from perturbation;
And when we think His looks are sour and grim,
The alteration is in us, not Him.

8. GOD NOT TO BE COMPREHENDED.
'Tis hard to find God, but to comprehend
Him, as He is, is labour without end.

9. GOD'S PART.
Prayers and praises are those spotless two
Lambs, by the law, which God requires as due.

10. AFFLICTION.
God ne'er afflicts us more than our desert,
Though He may seem to overact His part:
Sometimes He strikes us more than flesh can bear;
But yet still less than grace can suffer here.
