The saints inheritance and the worldlings portion representing the glorious condition of a child…

You have another expression to the same purpose. And I will bring forth a seed out of Jacob, and out of Judah an inheritor of my mountain, and mine elect shall inherit it, and my servants shall dwell there. Isaiah 65.9. What is the mountain of God? Gods Ordinances in his Church, I will bring a seed out of Jacob, and Judah, and they shall inherit my mountain. So that the greatest inheritance of the seed of Jacob is the mountain of the Lord: communion with the Church of God, and his ordinances: if you be of the seed of Jacob, your hearts prize, and rejoice in this, and that you have in Psalm. 24. vers. 3, 4, 5. you shall find how the seed of Jacob prize the enjoyment of God in his Ordinances. Who shall ascend in to the hill of the Lord? who shall stand in his holy place? He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lift up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully. He shall receive the blessing from the Lord, and righteousness from the God of his salvation. This is the generation of them that seek him: that seek thy ⟨p. 256⟩face O Jacob. It is so in the book▪ but the particle O, is not in the original: and therefore it may be read thus, That seek the face of Jacob; it may be read in the Genitive case, as well as in the Vocative. This is the generation of them that seek him, even of Jacob, and then he turns to God, that seek thy face: but because his heart was full of this, of seeking Gods face, (though he intend to mention what generation it was, the generation of Jacob) he puts in that before, the generation of Jacob that seek thy face: that is, this is the generation that so prise God in his ordinances, and account it such a blessing of God; that join themselves to the Church of God, and set up his ordinances and ways; this is the blessed generation, these are those that seek God truly. We seek not God truly unless we seek him in his own ways, unless we seek him in all his ordinances, we cannot comfort our souls that we seek him in truth. For as in the way of obedience, we cannot have comfort in our obedience that it is ⟨p. 257⟩true, except it be universal to all Gods commandments, so we cannot have comfort in our seeking that it is true, except it be in all his ordinances, and ways: therefore we must be of the generation of them that seek the face of the Church, that seek thy face O Jacob.
