And 7. always an all-sufficiency in all things. And is not here an Argument full enough, to cause them ⟨p. 369⟩and us, and all Gods people for ever, to abound in every good work. How often doth God fill our cup with mercy, and make it even run over; as Psal. 23. 5? If there shall be an All-sufficiency in all things, then there will be an all-sufficiency in our greatest straits, in our greatest afflictions, in our greatest sears: As it is said of the wicked, Job 20. 22. in the fullness of his sufficiency, he shall be in straits; the contrary is true concerning Gods people; in the fullness of their straits, they shall be in all-sufficiency. God causeth all his Attributes, and all the ways of his Providence, and all his creatures to work for the good of his people; All that is in God, all that God doth, and all that belongs to God, is for them; therefore infinite reason there is, that all they are, that all they do, that all they have, should work for his honour.
And 7. alwayes an all-sufficiency in all things. And is not here an Argument full enough, to cause them ⟨p. 369⟩and us, and all Gods people for ever, to abound in every good worke. How often doth God fill our cup with mercy, and make it even runne over; as Psal. 23. 5? If there shall be an All-sufficiency in all things, then there will be an all-sufficiency in our greatest straits, in our greatest afflictions, in our greatest seares: As it is said of the wicked, Iob 20. 22. in the fulnesse of his sufficiency, hee shall bee in straits; the contrary is true concerning Gods people; in the fulnesse of their straits, they shall be in all-sufficiency. God causeth all his Attributes, and all the wayes of his Providence, and all his creatures to work for the good of his people; All that is in God, all that God doth, and all that belongs to God, is for them; therefore infinite reason there is, that all they are, that all they doe, that all they have, should worke for his honour.
