There is indeed a 3 •old Look, which the believing Soul in its Agonies does give towards the Lord Jesus Christ. There is a Look of Desire; a Look with a Wish, yea, with a Groan: a Look with a, Lord help me! Such a Look as the hoarse Leper gave in Marc. 1. 40. when he came to Jesus Christ, beseeching Him, & kneeling down unto Him. There is also a Look of Dependence▪ a Trusting a Rolling a Relying Look; a Look accompanied with the Language of the Psalmist in Psal. 25. 2. O my God, I trust in thee. And there is a Look of Acknowledgement, producing both of these. Many things doth the Believer discern & confess to be in that Jesus, whose Name is, Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, the Everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace. But these 2 things especially: One thing of which he is sensible is, that Jesus Christ is a mighty Saviour, owning that in Heb. 7. 25. He is able to save to the uttermost them that come unto God by Him. Another thing whereof he is not unsensible is, that Jesus Christ is a Merciful Saviour, owning that in Joh. 6. 37. Him that cometh to me, I will in no wise cast out. After this manner does the Believer look to the Saviour upon the everlasting ⟨p. 45⟩[…] from whence […] all his help. […] for What […] Did of Faith▪ that is SALVATION. This the Apostle grants in […] where he speaks to Christians about the end of their Faith▪ the Salvation o• […] That which the Believer doth purpose to himself by his Addresses to […] that he may be •esctied from all the Calamities which his Fall from God hath br••ght upon him, and that he may be […] partaker of Benefits contrary thereunto▪ by the means of an All▪sufficient, & a Compa••••nate Jesus the Mediator. There are indeed especially three things which the Believer does look unto the Lord Jesus for. His first Look is with that glance in Psal. 119. 122. Lord, […] surety for thy servant for good. He would behold Jesus Christ as the Lamb of God, appearing before divine Justice in his room▪ adding unto this cast of his Eye, this Throb of his heart▪ […] Jesus Christ take away all my Sins, with all […] wants & •oes, which thereby I bec•me […].
