There is a relation between God and his,1 he is so with them,2 as that they are with him likewise in all passages. Doth he choose them? they in time choose him,1 Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none in earth that I desire in comparison of thee. Doth he call them? they answer. Doth he justify and free them from ⟨p. 88⟩their sins, they make that answer of faith that Peter speaks of, I do believe, Lord help my unbelief; they have faith to lay hold upon the forgiveness. And likewise, if God be with them,2 they can delight in Gods presence: Can God delight to be present with them that have not grace to delight in him? Gods children maintain their communion with him in all the sanctified means they can, they are afraid to break with God. Therefore those that to please and give content to others, and for base ends will displease their God, it is a heavy sign that God as yet hath not showed himself in his gracious mercy in Christ Jesus to them.
