O my Lord JESUS CHRIST; Hast thou given me a New Heart? An Heart that has thy Knowledge Enlightening of it, thy Image rectifying of it? An Heart to Love thee, and Prize thee, and Serve thee, and prefer my Interest in thee, and thy Interest in the World, above ⟨image ?⟩every thing in the World! Wonderful Testimonies of thy Benignity towards me! Rejoice, O my Soul, Rejoice in these Testimonies. They are an Heritage for ever to be Rejoiced in! And, O my Lord JESUS CHRIST; Has thy Word assured me, that Thou hast prepared an Heavenly City for thy chosen People? A City wherein I shall enjoy Durable Riches, and Pleasures for evermore! A City, wherein I shall be Saved from all that can be grievous to me, and I shall be filled with all the Fullness of God! I believe thy Testimonies! Rejoice, O my Soul, Rejoice in an Everlasting Heritage, reserved in the Heavens for thee! And now, what ever I am deprived of, as long as I have CHRIST, and GRACE and HEAVEN left, it is all well enough. I have an Heritage always to be Rejoiced in. Though I should be Afflicted very much, yet if my Afflictions, may forward me in my Advances to this Heritage, I may even Rejoice in those Afflictions, as in the Testimonies of the Divine Favour to me. Let those be Miserable, that can be Miserable: for my part, I cannot. O my God, my God, Thou art my Heritage; and • will Rejoice in my Heritage; Tis a Good Portion and it never shall be taken away!
