But he will not only save you from Misery, but instal you into unspeakable Prerogatives: He will bestow himself upon you, he will be a Friend unto you, and a Father to you, 2 Cor. 6.18. He will be a Sun and a Shield to you, Psalm 84.11. In a ⟨p. 148⟩Word, He will be a God to you, Gen. 17.7. And what can be said more? What may you expect that a God should do for you, and be to you, that he will not be, and will not do? She that marries a Prince, expects he should do for her like a Prince, that she may live in a suitable State, and have an answerable Dowry. He that hath a King for his Father, or Friend, expects he should do for him like a King. Alas! the Kings and Monarchs of the Earth, so much above you, are but like the painted Butter-flies amongst the rest of their Kind, or the fair-coloured Palmer-Worm amongst the rest of the Worms, if compared with God. As he doth infinitely exceed the Glory and Power of his glittering Dust, so he will, beyond all Proportion, exceed in doing for his Favourites, whatever Princes can do for theirs. He will give you Grace and Glory, and withhold no good Thing from you, Psalm 84.11. He will take you for his Sons and Daughters, and make you Heirs of his Promises, Heb. 6.17. and establish his Everlasting Covenant with you, Jer. 32.40. He will justify you from all that Law, Conscience, Satan, can charge upon you, Rom. 8.33, 34. He will give you free Access into his Presence, and accept your Person, and receive your Prayers, Eph. 3.12: and 1.6. 1 John 5.14. He will abide in you, and make you the Men of his Secrets, and hold a constant and friendly Communion with you,
