Though I dare not say that Christ is mine, and that I have an interest in him; yet I can truly say, I dearly love the people of Christ, for the Image of Christ that I see stamped upon them. 'Tis true, I dare not say, Christ is mine, and heaven is mine; I cannot say with such and such, The Lord is my Portion; yet I can say that I dearly love those that have the Lord for their portion. I can truly say, that the poorest, and the most neglected, and the most despised Saint in the world, is more precious in my eye, and more dear to my soul, then the greatest and the richest sinner in the world, Psalm 16. 3.
