* Horn. Ix. IG.
■^ 244 THE ENCIIIPJDIOX. [CIIAP. XCIX.
wholesome warning to every one who looks carefully into it, that he who glories should glory in the Lord.^ Chap. Xcix. — As God's mercy is free, so Ilisjudfjmcnis are just, and cannot be gainsaid.
Now after commending the mercy of God, saying, " So it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that showeth mercy, " that he might commend His justice also (for the man who does not obtain mercy finds, not iniquity, but jus...tice, there being no iniquity with God), he immediately adds : " For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose have I raised thee up, that I might show my power in thee, and that my name might be declared through- out all the earth. " ^ And then he draws a conclusion that applies to both, that is, both to His mercy and His justice : " Therefore hath He mercy on whom He will have mercy, and whom He will He hardeneth. "^ " He hath mercy " of His great goodness, " He hardeneth " without any injustice ; so that neither can he that is pardoned glory in any merit of his own, nor he that is condemned complain of anything but his own demerit.
