Secondly. God does never cause any man to pass under any Relation, but he does write the Law of that Relation upon his heart. For example, If the Lord does cause a man to pass under the Relation of a Magistrate: God will write the Law of that Relation upon him, and give him ability to it. If God do cause a man to pass under the Relation of a Minister; God will write the Law of that Relation on him. If God do cause a man to pass under the Relation of a Husband, or a Father; God will cause the Law of that Relation to be written upon his heart. Now when a man is justified by faith alone, then he becomes the Son of God; To as many as receive him, he gives power to be called the Sons of God; even to as many as believe on his Name. John, 1.12. I say When a man is justified by faith alone, he becomes the Son of God, he passes under that Relation; therefore then does the Lord write the Law of that Relation of a Son upon his heart, and thereby he is made more Son-like by his obedience.
