It conveyeth Christ to all the Saints, and to every one in particular, as if he named every one. And what an encouragement is this to answer again, to open our hearts to receive him, together with the Elements; to embrace Christ, join with Christ, and then to keep him, when we have him; do not lose him, he will not be so dealt withal, remember the Covenant we have made to him. I beseech you let these sweet considerations of Christ dwell in us, and work on every one of our hearts. If they do good on us here on earth, if we by faith lay hold on him, and have intercourse with him, what will it be in the day of judgement? How comfortable will it be to hear him say to every one in particular, 1Come thou, and thou, stand on my right hand, sit and judge the world with me? Doth he know our names now on earth, and giveth to every one particularly by himself, if we come worthily? and will not he know us then? oh that is far more worth then the worlds good, to know us then, and to call us by our names. Therefore I beseech ⟨p. 31⟩you be acquainted with Christ. Have intercourse (all we can) with him in the word and Sacraments, and never rest, till we find this sweet result in the use of the means, That he is ours, and we are his.
