2. Sons, 1Because in the time of the Gospel, the spirits of the Saints are of son-like dispositions, they are ingenuous, not mercenary. In the time of the Law God carried on his people in offering rewards, especially in outward things: but in the time of the Gospel we have no such rewards in outwards, but the Scripture speaks of afflictions most, there is not spoken so much of afflictions in the time of the Law, but much outward prosperity there was then: but in the time of the Gospel more affliction, because the dispositions of the hearts of people should not be so mercenary as they were before, they should be an ingenuous, a willing people in the day of Christs power.

3. Sons, Because of the son-like affection to be much for God their Father out of a natural [Greek or Hebrew], that they should have more then in the times of the Law. I suppose some of you have heard of the story of Croesus his son, though he was dumb all his days, when he perceived a soldier striking his father, his affection brake the bars of his speech, and he cried out to the Soldier to spare his rather. This is the affection of a son, and these affections doth God look for from his children, especially in the time of the Gospel, that they should hear no wrong done to him, but though they could never speak in their own cause, yet their should be sure to speak in their Fathers cause.
