Inference 6.
Once more,1 hath God Sealed Christ for you, then draw forth the comfort of his Sealing for you, and be restless till ye also be Sealed by him.
- 1Infer. 6.
First, Draw out the comfort of Christs Sealing for you. Remember that hereby God stands engaged, even by his own Seal, to allow and confirm, what ever Christ hath done in the business of your Salvation. And on this ground you may thus plead with God. Lord, thou hast Sealed Christ to this Office, and therefore I depend upon it; that thou allowest all that he hath done, and all that he hath suffered for me, and wilt make good all that he hath promised me. If men will not deny their own Seals, much less wilt thou.
