Sacramental meditations upon divers select places of scripture

Secondly: Jesus Christ is a Comprehensive mercy, including all other mercies in himself; he is the Tree of Life, all other mercies are but the fruits growing on him; he is the Son of Righteousness, and what-ever comfort spiritual or natural refreshes your souls or bodies, is but a Beam from that Sun, a Stream from that Fountain. If then God part with Christ to you, and for you, he will not with-hold other mercies; he will not give the whole Tree, and deny an Apple; bestow the Fountain it self, and deny you the Streams. All spiritual mercies are in him, and given with him, Eph. 1. 3. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings, in Heavenly places in Christ Jesus. All Temporals are in him, and given with him, Matth. 6. 33. they are additionals to that great mercy.

Thirdly: If God spared not Christ, the best mercy, but delivered him up for us all when we were his Enemies, then certainly he will not deny lesser mercies when we are reconciled and made Friends to him. And this is the forcible reason of the Apostle, which even compels assent, Rom. 5. 9. Much more being now justified by his Blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. In a word.

Fourthly and lastly: If it were the very design and intention of God in not sparing his own Son, to open thereby a door for all mercies to be let in upon us, then 'tis not imaginable he should with-hold them. He will not lose his design, nor lay so many stripes upon Christ in vain: Some shall surely have the benefit of it, and none so capable as Believers.
