4 Wee haue the earnest of the spirit, as a pledge and pawne till wee come to the full possession of the purchased inheritance.
In these fine forenamed respects we may truly say that the faithful in Christ have more cause to glorify God for that assurance they have of enjoying their heavenly inheritance, then to murmur or mourn that for a time •hey want the full possession of it. Thus we see that in re•ard of spiritual blessings, we have more matter of praise •or that we have, then of petition for that we want.⟨p. 412⟩
