As Christ himself that high, and chief favourite said, so may every one that is in him accepted for a favourite, say, The 1Lord is the portion of mine inheritance, and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot. The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places: yea I have a goodly heritage. If thou wilt acknowledge the truth, God is thy delight, thy rest, thy health, thy joy, thy happiness, thy refreshing, thy glory, and whatsoever thy soul may piously desire, God will be all that to thee.
