What makes a man faithful? Trust to a man makes him faithful; so when God is honoured with our trusting of him, it makes him faithful. Let us therefore put in suit his promises of provision, and protection every day in the way of our calling; and for necessary grace and comfort, that he will not fail us in any necessary grace to bring us to heaven, considering that he hath filled our nature with all grace in Christ.
Again, let us take this course, when we hear of rich and precious promises 1that are made, labour to know them. What? shall we have an inheritance, a portion, and not labour to know it? Let us labour to know all our portion, and to know it of those that search the Word of God, to be ⟨p. 432⟩glad to hear any thing, concerning the privileges, and prerogatives of a Christian, those that dig the Mines of the Scripture, which is the office of the Ministers: let us labour to know all our privileges.
