I. Other Jewels may be lost: But God will lose none of his Jewels.
II. He that makes other Jewels may not be the proper Owner of them, nor wear them for an Ornament himself: But God, who makes all his spiritual Jewels, is the proper Owner of them: This People have I formed for my self. They are also made for his own Glory.
III. Other Jewels may be quite spoiled, broke to pieces, and become good for nothing; the best and richest Jewels shall at last pass away, and perish for ever: But God's Jewels shall never be utterly spoiled; for tho they may receive some Damage by Satan's Temptations, and the Pollution of Sin; yet God will perfect that which is wanting concerning them, and make them at last so glorious, that they shall be out of Danger, and shall abide and shine in Beauty and Glory to Eternity.
