The way to true happiness in a serious treatise /

'Tis nothing then without his own bowels, but the merit and intercession of Christ, that prevails with God to bestow upon us converting ⟨p. 23⟩grace. If thou art a new creature, thou knowest to whom thou owest it, to Christ's pangs and prayers. Hence the natural affection of a believer to Christ. The •oal doth not more naturally run after the Dam, nor the suckling to the dugs, than a believer to Jesus Christ. And whither else shouldst thou go? If any in the World can show that for thy heart, that Christ can, let them carry it. Doth Satan put in, doth the World court thee, doth sin sue for thy heart? Why, were these crucified for thee? 1 Cor. 1. 13. O Christian, love and serve the Lord while thou hast a being. Do not even the Publicans love those that love them? And show kindness to them that are kind to them? Mat. 5. 46, 47.
