Again, God communicates his mercies more fully among his people then any other way. Psalm. 36.7, 8. How excellent is thy loving kindness, O God! therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of thy wings. They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of thy house, and thou shalt make them drink of the river of thy pleasures. They shall be abundantly satisfied; how? not with the creatures, but with the fatness of thy house. Neither with thy communication to them alone. God hath abundance of mercies for his Saints alone: but when they are among the Saints jointly together, then they shall be abundantly satisfied with ⟨p. 180⟩the fatness of his house, and he sha•l make them drink of his rivers of pleasures. While they are alone in corners, they may have many sweet drops of pleasure from God, but when they are joined with the Saints, there are rivers of pleasure, and delight that come to their hearts: therefore there is great delight to be had in the Saints of God when they are joined together.
