Your faith should be triumphing, you should triumph in the victory, mercy, merit, promises, riches, kingdom of Christ. O you that are believers, you have cause indeed always to triumph in Christ. what! have you received the Lord Jesus Christ? are you married to such a Husband? O how should you boast of him, O how should you please him? how should you glory in the booty that you have got? you have got a prize indeed.

O should not thy faith triumph in him?

O you that are believers, you have cause indeed always to triumph in Christ. what! have you received the Lord Jesus Christ? are you married to such a Husband? O how shold you boast of him, O how should you please him? how should you glory in the booty that you have got? you have got a prize indeed.
