The Goodness of GOD in appointing the Married State is adored; — and His Providence in ⟨p. 114⟩choosing the Relatives which He therein gives to each other, is admired.
The Goodness of GOD in appointing the Married State is adored; — and His Providence in ⟨p. 114⟩chusing the Relatives which He therein gives to each other, is admired.
A Dependence on the Providence of GOD our SAVIOUR, for our Welfare in the Married (as well as in every other) State is expressed.
For the ensuring of such a Welfare there is an Eye had unto the Covenant of Grace, wherein our Maker is our Husband, and our SAVIOUR is willing to Espouse us unto Himself in Faithfulness for ever. The marvellous Condescension of the Glorious LORD in the Proposal of such an Espousal, is wondered at; The Enmity of our Carnal Minds against this Blessedness is deprecated; And proper Expressions of a Consent unto the Gracious Proposal, are then endeavoured.
