God is with his children.1
- 1God is with his children.
I•de•d he is with the whole world, he is every where: but he is with •is Church, and children, in […]. The soul in•pred in the whole body, but it is in the brain •fter another […] it understands, and […] he is not every where comforting, and directing, and sanctifying, nor every where giving a sweet and blessed issue. So, beside• the general respect, that will not now stand on: God is with us, that […] his, in a more peculiar manner, in all his sweet Attributes:1 in his wisdom, to direct us, with his power, to assist, and strengthen us; by his grade, and love, to comfort us; and he is with us, in all our perplexities to stay our souls: he is with us by ⟨p. 70⟩his sweet, and gracious mercy, to feed […] with hidden Manna, with secret comforts in the middest of discomforts: when there is no comfort else with us, then God is with us. And then he is with us, in the issue of all that a godly man takes in hand in his name, he is with him in all crosses, to direct and tu••e them to his best good: All things work for the best, to them that love God. He is with them, in all his sweet relations, as a gracious Father in Covenant, as a Husband. He is with them in those sweet comparisons, as a Hen, as an Eagle, to carry them on his wings, above all dangers, as he carried the Israelites in the wilderness. He is with them in all comfortable relations.
