Shall I say, we are exceeding precious in his eyes, we are ⟨p. 47⟩choice in his esteem, Isa. 43.3, 4. such as he will give the World for, such as he will give himself for, if he can but gain us, he esteems he hath riches enough, and reward enough for it.
Shall I say, wee are exceeding precious in his eyes, wee are ⟨p. 47⟩choice in his esteem, Isa. 43.3, 4. such as he will give the World for, such as hee will give himself for, if hee can but gain us, hee esteems hee hath riches enough, and reward enough for it.
Shall I say, his desires are towards us, he in a manner desires no more than us; shall I say he thinks himself happy in the enjoyment of us, we are reward enough for all his pains, and all his labour.
Shall I say, his desires are towards us, hee in a manner desires no more than us; shall I say hee thinks himself happy in the injoyment of us, wee are reward enough for all his pains, and all his labour.
Why all this and more the Scripture saith, and all this is yet short of this expression, his Heart is taken with us.
