Brethren, such is the Love of Christ to his Saints, as that he 1gives them special Tokens and Assurance of his Eternal Favour.
- 1Christ's special Love-Tokens.
Some of them are these following. 1. He calls them with an effectual and special Calling. 2. He renews them, and stamps his own Image upon them.1 3. He puts his Holy Spirit into them. 4. He justifies them freely by his own Grace, giving them his own Robe of Righteousness, which is beyond a Garment of Cloth 2of Gold. 5. He sanctifies them, and endows them with Power to mortify 3Sin; and when they fall, he helps them up again by his right Hand. 6. He seals his Love to them with the Kisses of his Mouth, or by 4his most sure and precious Promises. 7. He commands his Holy Angels to attend them, and to administer to them, and keep them in all his Ways. 8. He leads, feeds and preserves them, under all Trouble, Temptation and Afflictions, and sympathizes with them. ⟨p. 198⟩[…] ⟨p. 199⟩[…] ⟨p. 200⟩9. He sets them as a Seal upon his Heart, as a Seal upon his Arm; 5they are engraven on the Palms of his Hands; he hath sworn that his loving Kindness shall never be taken away from them. As I have sworn that the Waters of Noah should no more go over the Earth, so have I sworn that I will not be wroth with thee.—For the Mountains shall depart, and the Hills be removed; but my Kindness shall not depart from thee, &c.
