Ingenuous Amazement at this unexpected Kindness, should make us run more swiftly to Embrace God, than ever we ran from him. ⟨p. 14⟩We should subscribe to the Articles, as God strives and presses us in the Method he hath enjoined.

Thirdly, There is an absolute Necessity of this Compliance for our Happiness. If you have not a Peace of God's Ordaining, never look for One of your own Inventing. There can be no Fellowship with God, without it: And therefore, we can't be Happy, because we can't Enjoy him, wherein all our Felicity doth consist.

Guilt and Purity cannot Converse together: What Society can Stubble have with Fire, but to its own Destruction. We can't see God's Face without it; and if a Sight of God's Face be wanting, Felicity is at a distance. The greatest part of Evil remains, though there be no positive Evil.

When he hides his Face, who can behold him?
