6. We are his Jewels, his Treasure, Mal. 3.7. In the day that I make up my Jewels, they shall be mine. And therefore his heart must needs be taken with us. Christ hath the same argument. Where the Treasure is; there will the heart be also. The Heart, and a mans Treasure lye together. Now we are his Jewels, his Treasure, 1his Portion, his Inheritance; that which his Father left him; and he ⟨p. 54⟩must dearly earn it too. And therefore the Heart of Christ is exceedingly taken with his Church and People. So you see this is the first ground, why, because we are his, and his in the dearest, nearest, choicest of Relations.
