Look upon his Name, Thy name is as an Ointment poured out, and therefore do the Virgins love thee. The name of ⟨p. 290⟩Jesus hath a thousand treasures of joy and comfort in it, saith Chrysostom, and so hath all his other names. If you look upon Christ in his natures, in his offices, in his graces, in his beauties, in his gifts, and in his works, you will find nothing but what may encourage you to believe in him, and to resign up your selves to him. Ah poor sinners! what would you have? Is there not power in Christ to support you, and mercy in Christ to pardon you, and grace in Christ to heal you, and goodness in Christ to relieve you, and happiness in Christ to crown you, and what would you have more? Oh that you would believe!
