Eighthly, if any soul have any desire to come and ⟨p. 271⟩1join with Gods people in his Ordinances, there is a blessing given to that desire, Psal. 84. 5. Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee, in whose heart are the ways of them. If the ways of thy Ordinances be but in thy heart, thou art blessed, and therefore be very desirous of this blessing, be not satisfied that God gives you outward blessings, and outward comforts in the world, unless you have this; if you know what communion with God in his people means, you cannot but desire to be with them, there is so much of God with them. If you have any spiritual life, you cannot but desire this, because spiritual life will desire to join with that which is like to its self.
