This is an excellent mercy, to be freed from the curse of the Law, and to be made partaker of the blessing of Abraham; even that God shall love one, take care of him, and prosper him in all things he takes in hand, and conduct him safe to heaven at the length: Seek this blessing of God; If you fear God and walk in his ways, he will bless you, if you faithfully believe in Christ, and rest upon him alone, you shall be blessed, for Christ hath freed us from the curse, and prepared the blessing for us, if we be under the works of the Law, we are under the curse, but if we be of the faith of Abraham, we shall be blessed with faithful Abraham, as S. Paul tells us.1 Labour to believe, labour to go out of your selves, and to stay alone upon the righteousness of Christ by faith made yours, and then you shall inherit the blessing, and then you shall inherit the blessing, and then you shall receive the promise of the Spirit through faith, then God will keep his Covenant of grace with you, pardon your sins, give you his Spirit, and make all work together for good. Through faith and patience you must inherit the promises; and the blessing which Esau was excluded from, (though he would have inherited it,) because he sought it not of God, but of Isaac his Father.
