SECT. VII.
2. IF God be your God, then all the glorious Attributes of God, are engaged 1unto you for your good; for when God is our God, then himself as considered in his essence, and as considered in his attributes or glories, he thus is ours; God and all that belongs to a God are for us, and for our good. As when the Covenant of Marriage is finished betwixt the Husband and the wife, now the Husband is hers, and all that belongs unto the Husband is hers, she shall be the better for his riches, and for his honours, and for his wisdom, and for his power, and for his kindness: So when God is our God in Covenant, he is ours, and all that he hath is ours: ours, though not for Denomination (as if he made us Gods, or made us omnipotent, and infinite, and eternal) yet ours for fruition: himself and all his attributes, we do and shall enjoy for our good and benefit.
