Secondly, You are better taught than others. Who is like to you O people, about whose tents the Manna raineth, not every morning only, but morning and evening: week days, and Sabbath days, God doth open his door to you, and make every day as a Sabbath to you.

Thirdly, You have more promises than others. Now there are come in to us a whole shoal of of promises, that we would not not so properly claim before, 1 Pet. 2. 20. If when you do well and suffer for it, you take it patiently, this is acceptable with God, 1 Pet. 4. 13. 14. Rejoice in as much as ye are partakers of Christs sufferings, that when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding Joy. If you be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye, for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you, Jam. 1. 12. Blessed is the man that endureth Temptation; for when he is tried he shall receive the Crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him. If you suffer with him you shall also reign with him, 2 Tim. 2. 12. Blessed are they that suffer for righteousness sake: for theirs is the Kingdom of heaven. Blessed are you when men shall revile you and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely for my name sake, rejoice and be exceeding glad for great is your reward in heaven, Math. 5. 10, 11, 12. Time would fail me to go over all those promises that are come in now upon us all at once. Oh we are an unthankful people, if all these promises do not raise our faith and joy. Is it a light thing my brethren, that you should be heirs of the promises?
