1. You must earnestly desire this Privilege, Psal. 106.4, 5. Remember me, O Lord, with the Favour that thou bearest to thy People: O visit me with thy Salvation: That I may see the good of thy chosen, that I may rejoice in the gladness of thy Nation; that I may glory with thine Inheritance. This should be the greatest Ambition of your Souls, that you might be one of God's peculiar ones. As Theodosius counted it a greater Honour to be a Member of the Church, than to be Emperor of the World. And Moses, Heb. 11.24, 25. when he came to Years, [Greek or Hebrew], when he was grown great, that is, when he had Ability to judg, he refused to be called the Son of Pharaoh's Daughter: Choosing rather to suffer Affliction with the People of God, than to enjoy the Pleasures of Sin for a season. The Honour of Pharaoh's Court was nothing so lovely to him, as to be a Member of God's People, and to enjoy Communion with the Saints, tho with great Affliction and Reproach.
