Reader, O what cause hast thou to triumph in thy happiness, that the infinite God is thine. Fear not, I am thine, Isa. 41. ⟨p. 301⟩Sceptres, and kingdoms, and honours, and possessions, and friends, and relations, and liberty, and peace, and health, and strength, are not thine possibly, but God is thine; He that is all these, and more than these, is thine; He is thine own God: even (mark) our own God shall bless us, Psal. 67.6. Thou canst not call any thing outward thy own; thy estate is not thine own, I will take away my corn, and my wine, and my oil, Hos. 2.9. Hag. 2.8. Thy relations are not thine own, Ezek. 16.20, 21. My children which thou hast born to me. Thy credit is not thine own, no, thy very graces are not thine own, Cantic. 4.16. Nay thou thy self art not thy own, 1 Cor. 6.20. Ye are not your own. Thy body is not thine own, 1 Cor. 6.16. nor your souls, Ezek. 18.3, 4. All souls are mine. But God is thy own God, thy own glory, thy own exceeding joy, Psal. 43.4.
