The first is this: That Christ hath a particular and exact knowledge of all the Elect, and who they are that shall be saved; wherein he will not be disappointed, Joh. 13.18. I know whom I have chosen.
The second is the ground of our present comfort and support: He hath a special affection to them, taketh special notice and care of them, and will bring them to know, love, and acknowledge him, as he doth also them: He beareth a suitable Impression thereto.
The third is matter of our hope, and will be our honour at the last day, that Christ will come to us, and own us, and reward us for all that we have done or suffered for him here. When others have the entertainment of Strangers, and are rejected as no true Believers and Professors of the Gospel, then shall we be owned and admitted into Heaven by him.
Here is a large Field of Matter. I shall single out those things that are most obvious, and worthy of our remark and Observation.
