SECT. VIII.
3. Now follows a third singular comfort unto all who have God to be their 1God in Covenant, which is this, If God be your God, then Christ is your Christ: To whom God is a God, unto them Christ is a Christ; if God be your God, then Jesus Christ is yours; as Christ spake unto his Father, All mine are thine, and thine are mine, John 17. 10. All that have an interest in me, have an interest in thee; and all that have a relation to thee, have also a relation to me; We may so safely say, All who have propriety in God, have propriety in Christ: If God saith unto you I am your Father, Christ saith unto you I am your Saviour; whom the Father owns, he doth own; whom the Father loves, he loves. This is certain that God the Father hath not one sort of people, and Christ another sort of people; that there are some to whom God hath relation, and there are others to whom Christ hath relation. No: but what relation God hath to any, and what propriety God hath in any, the same hath Christ; and what relation and propriety any have in God, the same have they unto Christ: I and my Father are one. Then if you be Gods, then you are Christs; and if God be yours, then Christ is yours; he is given to you, and you are given to him: Unto us a Son is given, Isaiah 9. 6. Thine they were, and thou gavest them me, John 17. 6.
