The Lord Jesus Christ is not ashamed to call them brethren; to own them for Subjects, Friends, 1Coheirs with himself in glory, his Bride. And they claim their Propriety in him as such. The King of Saints, 2with their Fathers name written in their foreheads; they follow the ⟨p. 52⟩Lamb whithersoever he goeth, 3owning themselves as his beloved, his redeemed, Kings and Priests unto God and his Father; yea, as the Lambs Wife. They have a propriety in all the elect Angels of God: they be still their Angels, as ready to do them brotherly offices as ever, and take more complacency in their company and in them than ever, by how much more purified and Angelified they are, then when they lay among the pots of the earth, now made like themselves, fellow Angels (as it were) as well as fellow Saints.

They have propriety in one another, although they may know some of the Saints under the notion of natural relations; yet do these all cease there, as now being retired into the first and chief root and Spring-head of divine Relation; Children of one heavenly Father, in whose House they are all together, embracing and courting one another in purest communion and communications of love; each Saint not more himself than his fellow Saints.
