Note (return) — Rev. ANDREW LEE, A.M. (continued 2)
Reading edition
God acts as a wise and impartial sovereign. God is not a sovereign in the sense in which most earthly monarchs are so. Whim, caprice, passion, prejudice often influence their preferences of some to others. Not so the divine sovereign. There are reasons for all his discriminations. They may be veiled at present from our view; but will one day appear—"The day will declare them," and justify God in them. [16]
