§. 162. Of Instructions and Directions arising from the Inheritance of Salvation.
Such an Inheritance as Salvation made sure to us, affords sundry Instructions and Directions. Instructions are such as these:
SUch an Inheritance as Salvation made sure to us, affords sundry Instructions and Directions. Instructions are such as these:
1. It commends Gods Philanthropy, his peculiar love to men, who by nature are children of wrath and heirs of hell; yet made to be partakers of the inheritance of salvation, Ephes. 2. •, 3. Colos. 1. 12. Tit. 3. 3▪ 4, 5. 2. It takes away all conceit of merit by mans works. For an inheritance is the free gift of a Father. 3. It is enough to uphold our spirits against penury, ignominy, and all manner of misery in this world. An heir, that as long as he is a child, differeth nothing a servant, but is under Tutors and Governors; yet, because he is Lord of all, will not be dejected; but will support himself with this, that he hath a fair inheritance belonging to him. 4. It is a great encouragement against all things that may threaten death; yea and against death it self: in that death brings us to the possession of this excellent inheritance.
