But how comes God to be the salvation 1of our countenance?
- 1Quest.
Answ. I answer: God only graciously ones in the face of Jesus Christ, which […] with the eye of faith beholding, receive those beams of his grace, and react them back again. God shineth •on us first, and we shine in that light •f his countenance upon us. The joy of 1salvation, (especially of spiritual and •all salvation) is the only true joy: all other salvations end at last in destruction, and are no further comfortable then they issue from Gods saving love.
