Believers are more to God then the most immediate servants are to a Prince; All the Subjects of a Prince have some privileges, yet theirs are ⟨p. 134⟩greatest, who are in nearest service; now none nearer to God then Believers: See 1 Pet. 2. 9. Ye are a chosen generation, a royal Priesthood, an holy Nation, a peculiar people; Nay, 2 Cor. 6. 18. Ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty: and these have those privileges which the servants have not. They who descended from the blood of Abraham, had more privileges then others, and have not they greater who come from the blood of Christ? The Priests of the Law had singular exemptions, and Kings of all men are most highly privileged; do you think Believers come short, who are not profane, nor civill, nor typical Priests, but royal Priests? who are not Priests only, nor Kings only, but both Kings and Priests, a royal Priesthood? who are a holy nation, a peculiar people, ⟨p. 135⟩(i.) a people of treasure, such by whom only God gets something?
