- 1His looking after you.
12. His gracious entertainment of you, and communions with you, and manifestations 1unto you; so that you are as it were many times lifted up to heaven, and filled with joy unspeakable and glorious. Beloved! This is unspeakable comfort and encouragement unto you that your God is a kind God, and will deal with you in loving kindnesses; Consider that of necessity you have to deal with him, and that every day and hour of your life; and that he is not an hard Master, nor of an harsh nature, nor rough in his words, or looks, or deeds: He will not seek, not will he take advantages against you; so as that you may come with boldness into his presence, and need not to fear his intentions or dealings with you; Never did father or mother deal more gently with their tender infants, never did loving husband deal more kindly with his most beloved wife, than your kindest God will deal with you; and this affords unto you five comforts.
