This word (father) doth assure us of our salvation: for in truth if we call upon ⟨image 9⟩him as our father, as indeed he is our father, then must we needs be his children, and being his children how can we perish? for there is no condemnation to them that are in Christ. Rom. 8.1. And it is as possible for the Devil to take away from Christ one of the members of his material body, being now glorified in heaven, as to pluck away, or cut off any member of his mystical and spiritual body here in earth.

We may in a holy manner boast and rejoice in it that we have such a Father, so wise, so mighty, so loving, so bountiful, to whom we always may repair for help in time of need. If one of us had a father that were the richest & the wisest in a realm, would we not exceedingly rejoice in him, and use him?
