The first sort of promises, or comfortable places of Scripture, are such as in general show the happiness of the godly in all estates of life; these I call Privileges. These are such comforts as are not restrained unto some certain time, but are such as he is enriched withal at all times. These we ought to know as the Foundation of all the rest, and ⟨p. 300⟩we should strive to have them perfectly in our memories, so as any time we could number them if need were.
