Emanuel, God with us. If God be with us in our nature, then he is with us in his love. And if God be with us, who shall be against us? For this Emanuel hath taken our nature for ever:1 he hath taken it into heaven with him; God and we shall be for ever in good terms, because God in our nature is for ever in heaven, ⟨p. 20⟩as an Intercessor appearing for us. There is no fear of a breach now; for our brother is in heaven, our Husband is in heaven, to preserve an everlasting union and amity between God and us. Now we may insult in an holy manner over all oppositions whatsoever. For if God be with us in our nature, and by consequence in favour, who shall be against us? and therefore with the Apostle, let us triumph, Rom. 8.
