Seven sermons on several select subjects preached

First, Christ Comforts them in the use of Ordinances, Word and Sacrament; in the one we hear Christs voice, in the other we have his Kiss and Embraces; in the use of Gospel Ordinances, the Saints are oftentimes upon the mount of Transfiguration; they feed upon Holy Embrocha, Christ gives them on a sudden such inward revivings as carry them above the love of Life, and above the fear of Death.

Secondly, Christ Comforts his people, the flock of his pasture, by his ⟨p. 177⟩Spirit, that is called the Comforter, John 14.16. The Spirit enables us to work out our Adoption, to read our Names in the Promises; the Spirit seals up Gods love to the Heart, upon which there is a currant of divine Joy, runs into the Soul: Here is Christs love to his Sheep, he comforts them.

Secondly, Christ Comforts his people, the flock of his pasture, by his ⟨p. 177⟩Spirit, that is called the Comforter, Iohn 14.16. The Spirit enables us to work out our Adoption, to read our Names in the Promises; the Spirit seals up Gods love to the Heart, upon which there is a currant of divine Joy, runs into the Soul: Here is Christs love to his Sheep, he comforts them.

Thirdly, Christ shows his love to his elect Sheep, in that he shed his Blood for them, John 10.11. I lay down my Life for my Sheep: The Death of the Shepherd is the Life of the Sheep. Consider Christs death in a three-fold Notion. 1. As it was painful. 2. As it was voluntary. 3. As it was Meritorious, in all these ways he shows his love in dying for his Sheep.
