For all joy, and all glory, is originally, and fundamentally in God reconciled; 1that is certain: there is our joy in God reconciled. For naturally, before God be reconciled, our hearts are full of confusion: they are so far from joy and glory, that they are full of horror. Now God is reconciled, by Christs satisfaction, and obedience, his full satisfaction, witnessed by his resurrection; and thereupon comes our glorying, to be in Christ, who hath brought us to be at one with God, with the God of glory: ⟨p. 334⟩Blessed be God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, saith St. Peter, that hath begotten us to a lively hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, &c. Now we have a lively hope, we have a glorious hope, we may glory in it, in the resurrection of Christ: considering that his resurrection is an evidence that the debt is paid, our surety being out of prison: he being risen again.
