"One of the captive followers of the Duke of Monmouth was brought before James the Second. 'You know it is in my power to pardon you,' said the king. 'Yes,' said the man, who well knew his cruel character, 'but it is not in your nature.' However unwise this answer was, the truth was soon seen. Happily, we know that God has not only the power, but the disposition to show mercy. 'Also, unto thee, O God, belongeth mercy.'" (Source: Spurgeon's Sermon Notes)
