A treatise of delighting in God from Psal. xxxvij. 4. Delight thy self also…

And thus to converse with God, a him whom we daily design to glorify and serve, and whom we expect daily in some measure, and fully and finally ere it be long, to enjoy, Is certainly throughout a way of pleasantness and peace. How delectable then is this Soul-rectifying communication from God, whereby, being before so disaffected, it becomes now so well inclined towards him in all these respects.

And thus to converse with God, a him whom we daily design to glorifie and serve, and whom we expect daily in some measure, and fully and finally ere it be long, to enjoy, Is certainly throughout a way of pleasantness and peace. How delectable then is this Soulrectifying communication from God, whereby, being before so disaffected, it becomes now so well inclin'd towards him in all these respects.

But because the exigency of the case did require (by reason of sin that had cut off the intercourse) that there should be a Mediator to open the way and renew the former outworn friendship; Therefore it was also necessary that so the Soul might duly move towards God, it should be rightly framed and disposed also towards him. We are therefore to consider too, how delectable this communication must be, as it aright disposes the heart towards Christ, our way to God.

For towards him we must understand it to have been most obstinately and inflexibly averse; and that therefore a mighty communication ⟨p. 61⟩of power was necessary to set it right here.
