3. Every passage also in the Word will then afford thee Comfort: How sweet will be the Promises when thou art sure they are thine own? The Gospel will then be Glad Tidings indeed. The very threatenings will occasion thy Comfort to remember that thou hast escaped them. Then thou wilt cry out with David, Oh how I love thy Law! It is sweeter then honey; More precious then gold, &c. And as Luther, That thou wilt not take all the world for one leaf of the Bible. When thou wast in thy sin, this Book was to thee as Micaiah to Ahab; It never spoke Good of thee, but Evil; ⟨p. 424⟩and therefore no wonder if then thou didst hate it: But now it is the charter of thy Everlasting Rest, how welcome will it be to thee? and how beautiful the very feet of those that bring it?1
