An Alarm to Unconverted Sinners

But he will not only save you from misery, but install you into unspeakable Prerogatives. He will bestow himself upon you, he will be a friend to you, and a father to you: • Cor. 6. 18. he will be a Sun, and a Shield to you: Psal. 84. 11. in a word, he will be a God to you, Gen. 17. 7. and what can be said more? What you may expect that a God should do for you, and be to you, that he will be, that he will […] She that marries a Prince, expects he ⟨p. 197⟩should do for her like a Prince, that she may live in suitable state, and have an answerable dowry. He that hath a King for his Father, or friend, expects, that he should do for him like a King. Alas, the Kings and Monarchs of the earth, so much above us, are but like the painted butterflies amongst the rest of their kind, or the fair-coloured palmer-worm amongst the rest of the worms, if compared with God. As he doth infinitely exceed the glory and power of his glittering dust, so he will beyond all proportion exceed, in doing for his favourites, whatever Princes can do for theirs. He will give you grace and glory, and withhold no good thing from you. Psal. 84. 11. He will take you for his sons and daughters, and make you heirs of his promises, Heb. 6. 17. and establish his everlasting Covenant with you. Jer. 32. 40. He will justify you from all, that Law, Conscience, Satan, can charge upon you. Rom. 8. 33, 34. He will give you free access into his presence, and accept your persons, and receive your prayers. Eph. 3. 12. Eph. 1. 6. 1 John 5. 14. He will abide in you, and make you the men of his secrets, and hold a constant and friendly communion with you.
