Lastly,1 How wonderful a comfort is it that he who dwells in our Flesh is God! What Joy may not a poor believer make out of this? What comfort one made out of it, I will give you in his own words. I see it a work of God (saith he) that experiences are all lost when Summons of improbation to prove our Charters of Christ to be counterfeit, are raised against poor Souls, in their heavy Trials. But let me be a sinner and worse than the chief of Sinners: yea a guilty Devil, I am sure my well beloved is God. And my Christ is God. And when I say my Christ is God, I have said all things. I can say no more. I would, I could build as much on this, My Christ is God, as it would bear: I might lay all the world upon it.
