The application of redemption

Not only the righteous who by the power of grace can¹ subdue sin, but even the mourners in Zion who by the spirit are burdened with their sins, these I say have allowance and that from God to share in this comfort. Blessed are they that mourn they shall be comforted Math. 5. 3. thou Sayest thou art not, thou findest none for the present; be it so, that is not in the promise but it's sure enough thou shalt be, that is sufficient: God will make thee stay for it, and beg for it, and prize it before it come, that thou mayest be thankful for it when it comes; it shall be in Gods time and in due time, and if thou wouldst have it before, know thou art not sit to receive, nor God willing to bestow, thou hast it not in hand, but its […] in hope; it will be and will not fail, ⟨p. 443⟩and the reversion of it, is sufficient to support thee to live in hope; nay it is a portion provided on purpose and came for this very end; Isa. 61. 3. to appoint unto them that mourn in Zion beauty for ashes the Oil of gladness for the spirit of heaviness, yea God himself will come for this end to bring consolation uto thy soul.²
