Great are the privileges of the Saints under the government of Jesus Christ; they are qualified with eternal graces;1 they are comforted with the daily refreshings that flow from the sense of Gods favour; they are confirmed in the assured peace with Angels and good men; they are estated into an everlasting inheritance; they daily reap the benefits of Christs Intercession; they often sup with Christ, and are feasted by the great King; they live always in the Kings Court, in as much as they are always in Gods special presence; they partake of the privileges, Prayers, and blessings of all the righteous; and they have the Spirit of God in them, to unite them to God and Christ, to lead them in the paths of holy life, to comfort them in all distresses, to warn them if they go out either on the left hand or the right, and to help them in their prayers, making request for them, when they know not what to pray as they ought.
