2. God's free and kind distribution, or giving forth the best of Heaven unto us, when we come or approach unto him by Jesus Christ, or in this new and living way, and that to the enriching of our Souls; not only, my Brethren, barely to supply our Wants, and pinching Necessities, but also to the making of us very Rich and Great.

3. I mean by it, God's Gracious Acceptance of our Persons, Duties, and all our Holy and Spiritual Performances, or Services, which is no small Favour and Blessing, but one of the greatest we can partake of; for this must always be premised, that God will never accept of any Man's Duties, till he first accepteth of his Person; for thus he first accepts of Abel; that is, of his Person,1 The Lord had a Respect unto Abel, and to his Offering;2 he offered his Offering in Faith, he was a Believer, and God accepted of his Person in Christ, and so he doth of the Persons of all True Believers,3 Wherein he hath made us accepted in the Beloved—in whom we are united and made Members of his Body, and it is in him that God looks upon us.
