It is the inheritance of Gods elect ones; Isaiah 65. 9. I will bring forth a seed out of Jacob, and out of Judah an inheritor of my mountains, mine elect shall inherit it. I do not say, whosoever does enjoy communion with Gods people, is elected; but whosoever does enjoy it, enjoys that which is the inheritance ⟨p. 268⟩of Gods elect, such a fruit of Gods loving kindness, as comes to the elect by inheritance, though some others do get into it, yet none should but only the elect ones; and therefore if you have any hope to be the elect of God, desire after this as part of your inheritance; A man would be loath to lose part of his inheritance. It is an inheritance promised to those who trust in God, and opposed to all the vanity of the world; Isa. 57. 13. Vanity shall take them, but he that putteth his trust in me, shall inherit my holy mountain.
