1. That upon the discovery of him to our souls, they rejoice to epart with all things wherein they have delighted, or reposed their confidence for him, and his sake, that they may enjoy him. Sin and lust, pleasure and profit, Righteousness and duty in their several conditions, all shall go so they may have Christ.

2. That they are willing to part with all things rather then with Him, when they do enjoy him. To think of parting with Peace, Health, Liberty, Relations, Wives, Children, it is offensive, fheavy and grievous to the best of the Saints. But their souls cannot bear the thoughts of parting with Jesus Christ. Such a thought is cruel as the grave. The worst thoughts that in any fear gin desertions that they have of hHell, is that they shall not enjoy Jesus Christ. So they may enjoy him, here, hereafter, be like him, be ever with him, stand in his presence; they can part with all things freely, cheerfully, be they never soe beautiful in reference to this life, or that which is to come.
