Well may we rejoice, then, and magnify the mercy of our God. What good thing will He who loved us while we were yet His enemies, disdaining not to take our human nature into the closest union with His divinity, withhold from those who are partakers with Him of the same flesh? Who has ever hated his own flesh? How can He possibly cast us off, when by an exercise of such exalted and infinite mercy, He hath made us partakers of His own nature? - Johann Gerhard, *Sacred Meditation* XV
