2. God is a Father by Election; he hath culled out a certain number to be his Children, Eph. 1.4.
3. God is a Father by special Grace, he stamps his impress of Holiness upon men, Col. 3.10. All Gods Children resemble him, though some are more like him than others.
2. That God will deal with them that Fear him, as a Father doth with his Son: 1. God will accept them as a Father doth his Son. If the Child doth but lisp and can hardly speak plain, the Father takes all well: so God as a Father will accept of what his Children do in sincerity: Ezek. 20.40. There will I require your Offerings, I will accept you with your sweet Savour.
