Christians, did your souls but thus walk in the spiritual immensities of Deity, how would you be filled with all ⟨p. 43⟩the fullness of God? How would you take the Apostle John's counsel, while you are learning to take it, 1 John 2.28. Abide in God. Abide in God, by this direction you may enjoy the End in the Means, and have much of heaven while you are upon earth.

Is it needful after all this to be particular in an Use of Consolation?
Hath not every true Christian a Natural-spiritual instinct to run unto God what ever ails him? And certainly, if there be any consolation in Christ, if any comfort in the love of God, and in the fellowship of the Holy Ghost. If there be (as most certainly there is) profit in observing Gods Ordinance, and walking mournfully before God, then this Doctrine will afford unspeakable comfort in all cases, when flesh and heart faileth, then may the soul that hath interest in God shout unto him with the voice of triumph.
