Ye have not received the Spirit of Bondage again to fear, but ye have received the Spirit of Adoption, by which ye Cry Abba Father. It is the Spirit that witnesseth with our Spirits, that we are the Children of God; and if Children, then are we Heirs, Heirs of God, and Joint-Heirs with Christ. You see thence Father, that I shall be a fellow-heir with Christ; who hath said, In my Father• house are many mansions, if it were not so, I would have told you, I go to prepare a place for you, I will come again, and take you to my self, that where I am there ye may be also. O Lord, take me to thy self. Behold dear Mother, He hath prepared a place and dwelling for me.
