A fourth volume containing one hundred and fifty sermons on several texts of Scripture…

1. It will make God sweet to you. Psal. 104.34. David saith, My Meditation of him shall be sweet. O how sweet is this, when we can think of God without Horror and Trembling? His Mercy will be sweeter to you, because it is yours, this is your Portion. His Justice will not be your Terror, but Support; your Comforts are bottomed upon God's Justice as well as his Mercy. 1 John 1.9. the Apostle doth not say, he is faithful and gracious, but faithful and just to forgive us our Sins, and cleanse us from all Unrighteousness. You have a hold-fast upon God by the Merit of Christ, and so you may expect a Crown from a righteous Judg. Nay, his very Wrath will increase your Comfort, why? because this you have escaped. Look as a sense of Danger heighteneth the Deliverance; so for Reflections upon God's Wrath, if it be opened to you in a Sermon, or to your own Thoughts, how may you rejoice that you are delivered from it. No Man can look upon the Sea with more Comfort than he that hath escaped a danger of Shipwreck; so will you with Comfort look upon all the Bitterness, and Dregs, and Sourness of God's Wrath, this you have escaped; as the Israelites when they saw the Egyptians dead on the Shore, sung a Song of Praise. Nay, this will make the Magnificence of his creating Power sweet; when you walk in the Fields, and view the Structure of the Heavens, you will say, Heaven is my Father's Palace, and mine in Christ; All things are yours, and ye are Christ's, and Christ is God's, 1 Cor. 3.22, 23.
