Yes, to thee,1 Christ knows how to pity us in this case. We are weak, but we are his. A Father looks not so much at the blemishes of his child, as at his own nature in him; So Christ finds matter of love from any thing of his own in us. A Christians carriage towards Christ may in many things be very offensive, & cause much strangeness, yet (so long as he resolves not upon any known evil) Christ will own him, and he Christ.
