The seventh Consequence.
7. Now we come to enjoy all the good we have in this world as upon a new right, it is settled upon us, and comes to us upon a new account, through a new right, and so it is far more Comfortable than before; for before we had forfeited all that we had, because we had taken up Arms against God: and you know, when there is once a taking up of Arms, that very act occasions presently a forfeiting of an estate. So, we having taken up Arms against the God of Heaven, we have forfeited all our Comforts, and enjoyments, and we have cause to wonder that God doth not send some arrest upon our estates, and seize upon all that we have. But now peace being made between God, and us, all is restored again. And so those who are reconciled unto God, they may enjoy Comfort in what they do possess, they may look upon their Houses, upon their Trade, upon their meat, and upon their drink, as all fruits of their Peace with God.
7. Now we come to injoy all the good we have in this world as upon a new right, it is setled upon us, and comes to us upon a new account, through a new right, and so it is far more Comfortable than before; for before we had forseited all that we had, because we had taken up Arms against God: and you know, when there is once a taking up of Arms, that very act occasions presently a forfeiting of an estate. So, we having taken up Arms against the God of Heaven, we have forfeited al our Comforts, and injoyments, and we have cause to wonder that God doth not send some arrest upon our estates, and seize upon all that we have. But now peace being made between God, and us, all is restored againe. And so those who are reconciled unto God, they may injoy Comfort in what they do possess, they may look upon their Houses, upon their Trade, upon their meat, and upon their drink, as all fruits of their Peace with God.
