Lastly, Let us make mercy our refuge, for it is not enough for a man to run from himself, if he does not run to mercy, if he does not run to free grace, if he goes any where else there is no healing. Now therefore it calls upon us all, every one in the Congregation this day, to make mercy and free grace our refuge: O that we might goe to God upon that account, as this woman of Canaan did, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou son of David: She comes to mercy, and pleads mercy, and rests upon mercy and free grace. Oh that we might make more use of mercy and free grace for all things! Let us come hither for pardon of sin: Doe you want pardon of sin? Plead with mercy and free grace, flee to the Promises of mercy, I will be mercifull to their sin, and remember their sin no more.
