1. Our Saviour being in highest Honour and favour in the Court of Heaven, and of most perfect intelligence touching all the counsels, purposes, and proceedings of the Father: He there speaks good unto God the Father, in our behalf daily: sets on going all the passages of Providence, in justice, and mercy, grace, and Truth, ⟨p. 15⟩Patience and Bounty, as may best answer all the occasions of the Churches, in all their conditions, as may most concern them: And answerably sends an express by the powerful operation of his good Spirit, into the Hearts of his people. So verse. 11. Keep them through thin own name. Joh. 16.15. All things that the Father hath, are mine, therefore said I, that he shall take of mine. Christ hath liberty to take of all the choicest of the Treasures of Heaven, and those he doth, and sends them by the spirit unto the Hearts of his people. Joh. 14.16. I will pray the Father and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever. Thus our Saviour doth us many secret kindnesses, which we little consider: and sends privy Intimation, how things go in Heaven in our behalf.
