3. For his Christs sake: So Daniel prayed, when he wrestled with God for this very mercy which here God promiseth, 1Deliverance out of Captivity. O our God, hear the prayer of thy servant, and his supplications, and cause thy face to shine upon thy Sanctuary which is desolate, for the Lords sake.

1Christ is his Fathers Darling, his Beloved, in whom his soul delights; and God looks upon his redeemed through Christ, ⟨p. 13⟩and his soul is delighted in them also. 2He hath made us accepted in the Beloved. After he hath bestowed a Christ upon them, he thinks nothing too good or too much for their sake. He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? After he hath redeemed them from eternal death, with the Blood of his Son, he will not stick to redeem them from temporal Destruction, with the blood of his and their enemies. I will give men for thee, and people for thy life.
