We have have waited for him, he will save us, we have waited for him, and we will rejoice in his salvation. That which a child of God gives thanks for, & rejoices in, and labours for, is more & more experience of his salvation. We will rejoice in his salvation. There is not a stronger word in all the Scripture, nor in nature, he doth not say rejoicing in this or that benefit, but in his salvation, that is in deliverance from all evil; we will rejoice in his preservation, when he hath delivered us, we will rejoice in his advancement of us, and we will rejoice in his salvation. And therefore when the wisdom of heaven would include all in one word, he useth the word Jesus, all ⟨p. 158⟩happiness in that word, that pregnant full word, a Saviour.

So that Gods carriage towards his children is Salvation.1 He is the God of Salvation, or a saving God. And God sent his name from heaven, and the Angels brought it, the name of JESUS. Therefore look to the full sense of it. We have a Saviour that will answer his name, as he is Jesus, so he will save his people from their sins; And therefore we will rejoice in his salvation. God dealt with us like a God, when he delivered us from all misery, from all sins, and advanced us to all happiness that nature is capable of, As he said before, he will wipe away all tears from all faces, and take away the rebukes of all people. He will punish the wicked with eternal destruction. And if he advanceth a people he will be salvation, then which he can say no more.
