The Way To Divine Knowledge

By William Law

[Way-1-86] For what are we to understand by the mercy and goodness of God? His mercy

For what are we to understand by the mercy and goodness of God? His mercy is his patience. And his goodness, is his light, and Word, and Holy Spirit. Now every creature has the benefit of divine patience; but no creature can have his goodness, but that which is capable of receiving his light, and Holy Spirit.
