Seventhly, Is not Christ the most delightful Good? Some delight in what they see, some in what they hear, some in what they taste, some in recreation, and some in notions, but the delight of Christ doth surpass them all.
Eighthly, Is not Christ a sure Good? Other things God may give, and call for them back again, Hos. 2.9.
