8. Such is Gods love, that he thinks nothing too Good for his Children, he enricheth them with the upper and nether Springs; he gives them the Kidneys of the Wheat, and Honey out of the Rock; he makes them a feast of fat things, Isa. 25.6. He gives them the body and blood of his Son, and delights to see his Children spreading themselves as Olive plants round about his Table*.

Such is Gods love, that he thinks nothing too Good for his Children, he enricheth them with the upper and nether Springs; he gives them the Kidneys of the Wheat, and Hony out of the Rock; he makes them a feast of fat things, Isa. 25.6. He gives them the body and blood of his Son, and delights to see his Children spreading themselves as Olive plants round about his Table*.
3. Such as are Fearers of God, he will receive their Petitions from them as a Father doth from his Son; they ⟨p. 201⟩may come boldly to the throne of Grace, Heb. 4.16. If they come for pardon of sin, strength against Temptation, God will not deny them. Three things may cause boldness in prayer; the Saints have a Father to pray to, and the Spirit to help them to pray, and Jesus Christ as their Advocate to present their Prayers.
