Look into his last prayer, and how lovingly doth he carry us in his arms to his Father, when he was going out of the world, begging his Father he would sancti•ie us, and keep us from the evil of the world, and that he would at length bring us to enjoy his glory.

Thirdly, His tokens are tokens of love. As a woman will be often looking over her tokens, because in these she sees the heart of her beloved; so if you would be in love with Christ be often looking over the love-tokens of Christ. Thou canst not turn thy eye but thou must see his tokens. But there are three or four tokens especially that you should be looking into.
(First,) He hath sent thee a pardon for thy sins. O what a blessed token is this? Psa. 32. 1, 2. Blessed is the man whose sin is for given, &c. He is blessed and blessed again: over and over blessed; he is a thrice happy man that hath got his pardon, why, this is the token that Christ hath sent thee that art a believer. O look after thy pardon, and thou shalt find that thy pardon ⟨p. 210⟩is written in the blood of Christ: for it was his blood that made satisfaction. He loved thee, and therefore washed thee from thy sins in his blood. O with what joy and sweetness shouldest thou look over thy pardon, Christian! it is that which must carry thee through all thy difficulties. Doth the Devil assault thee? do but show thy pardon and this will worst him. Doth the Lord frown upon thee? show him thy pardon, this will silence him. Doth thy Conscience accuse thee? show it thy pardon, and that will quiet it.
