Se•meth it (said David once to Sauls servants) a small thing to your eyes, to be son in law to a King, seeing I am a poor man?1
Seemeth it, may I say, a small thing to you for poor creatures to be joined, and married as it were to the great GOD, the living God; who are so much worse then nothing, by how much sin is worse then vanity; yea, to be one with him, as Christ saith in that heavenly Prayer of his; 1As he and his Father is one, That they may be one, as thou Father art in me, and I in thee; that they also may be one, with us. And again, That they may be one, even as we are one. Yea, perfect in one; not indeed, in the perfection of that unity, but in unity of that perfection, not made perfect in a perfection of equality, but of conformity.
