There's the same Affection to a small younger Child, though he hath not so large an Allowance, as the elder Brother; yet saith he, my Father loves me as well as him; not that I have a double Portion, but I have as much of my Father's Love: So a Child of God may say, God loves me though he hath given another more, and me less.
