UPON this Occasion CHRIST says as he does to him and of him in the Text: In which we may observe,
1. THAT Peter is pronounced blessed on this Account. Blessed art thou — Thou art an happy man, that thou art not ignorant of this, that I am CHRIST the Son of the living GOD. Thou art distinguishingly happy. Others are blinded, and have dark and deluded Apprehensions, as you have now given an Account, some thinking that I am Elijah, and some that I am Jeremiah, and some one thing, and some another; but none of them thinking right, all of them misled. Happy art thou, that art so distinguished as to know the Truth in this Matter.
