Ninthly, Oh bless God, you that know and find that what you have, it is in love. You are to bless God for what 1you have; but in that he hath given you your desires, and given them out of love too, here God blesses his blessings, and your blessings should be double, treble, seven, an hundred fold: Oh that the Lord hath delivered me from such an affliction, and I find it is in love; as Hezekiah could say, when he was delivered from his sickness, In love to my soul hast thou delivered me from the pit 2of corruption: So I make no question but there's many of the people of God, even many of you that are before him this day, that are able to say, Well, upon these arguments that I have heard this day upon this point thus opened, I can say to the glory of God, Out of love to my soul hath he delivered me out of such an affliction, from such a sickness; out of love to my soul hath he granted me such a mercy: I had been praying and crying to him for such and such mercies, and out of love to my soul hath he granted them to me. Oh! you may go away 3with comfort in what you have, if it be but a very little that God hath given you; Oh the Lord hath given you a good portion, your lot is fallen into a good ground, you have a goodly inheritance, Certainly you have a child's portion, and go away and be satisfied in it.
