Labour to plant our selves in Christ by faith,1 that so in him we may have an eternal estate.2 Thou art our habitation from generation to generation. It was a Psalm that was made upon occasion of their falling away in the Wilderness; they dropped away as leaves, and few of them came to Canaan: Well, (saith he) we fall away here, and wither as grass, &c. But thou art our God from generation to generation, that is, we have a perpetual subsistence in thee. A Christian when he is in God (by being in Christ) hath a perpetual everlasting subsistence. As we are Temples of God: so he is our Temple, we dwell in him, thou art our habitation, &c. Who would not labour to be in such an estate? for in this world there is nothing, but a succession of Generations.
