Excerpt from The Sovereignty and Fatherhood of God: A Discourse, Preached During His Visit to England To understand this subject clearly, we must care fully distinguish between the rul'e Of God as a Sovereign, and the design Of God as a Father; in other words, between God's will considered as His decree, and considered as His desire.
