A DIVINE CORDIAL.
CHAP. I. The Proaemium, or Introduction.
ROM. 8.28. We know that all things work together for good, to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
IF the whole Scripture be the feast of the soul (as St Ambrose saith) then this Chapter may be a dish at this feast, which with its sweet variety may very much refresh and animate the hearts of Gods People. In the preceding verses the Apostle had been wading through the great Doctrines of Justification and Adoption; Mysteries so arduous and profound, that without the help and conduct of the Spirit, he might soon have waded beyond his depth. In this verse the Apostle toucheth upon that pleasant string of Consolation; We know that all things work together for good, to them that love God. Not a word but is weighty▪ therefore I shall gather up every filing of this Gold, that nothing be lost.
