1. He communicates goodness among his people and Saints more choicely, more choice mercies of God. There is a remarkable place in the Psalms, The Lord that made heaven and earth bless thee out of Zion. Psalm. 143. ult. He saith not the Lord that made heaven and earth bless thee, either out of heaven or earth, but out of Zion, as nothing that the choice mercies that God hath to communicate are out of Zion; among his people joined together in the way of worship. Would you desire that God ⟨p. 179⟩should bless you with the chief mercies that he hath? look upon God as blessing out of Zion; out of Zion God communicates his choicest mercies: therefore it concerns all to be in Zion, that they may have God to bless them out of Zion; there runs the sweetest of Gods mercies indeed in Zion.
