True Joy grows upon the stock of Faith. Where there is no Faith, there is no true Joy. Faith is the Root, and Joy is the Fruit. It is called, The Joy of Believers: Believers are the Subjects of it; and a Joy in Believing: Believing is the Root of it, Rom. 5.1.2.— Being justified by Faith, we have Peace with God, through our Lord Jesus Christ: by whom also through Faith we have access into this Grace wherein we stand, rejoicing under the hope of the Glory of God, Rom. 15.13. — The God of Hope fill you with all Joy and Peace in Believing. Where there's Faith, there's Joy.

If Faith of Evidence, 1there Joy doth naturally result and arise from it: If but Faith of Adherence, there Joy is hid and secret, though it doth not appear. The seed of Joy is hid as yet under the Clods of Faith; but in time it will break forth and appear. Joy is there though it be not seen.
