A carnal heart cares not, so he may have the thing it self, he does not look to the principle from whence it comes, but the chief sweet to a gracious heart is that he can see God, the love and mercy of God in all the blessings he enjoys. Now there is no such argument as this to demonstrate Gods love in them; outward things are no certain arguments of the love of God: wicked men, the objects of ⟨p. 128⟩Gods hatred may have them as well as the godly, but outward blessings with a heart to give God the glory of them, do always come from Gods love in Christ.

God does oftentimes give the same thing to one out of special favour in Christ, to another out of a general bounty, that God hath raised you above others, this is a mercy; but that he hath given you this grace, in this he hath raised you indeed, this mercy is of an higher nature, the other things are called the goods of fortune, but this is the fruit of Gods eternal love in Jesus Christ, this is a mercy peculiar to the chosen of the Lord.
