in the everlasting Love of God, and made known in an everlasting Gospel, by Ministers of his own sending. _Christ_, in the Glories of his Person, in the Love of his Heart, in his atoning Sacrifice, in his perfect Obedience, in his Sufferings, victorious Death, Burial, Resurrection, and Ascension, in his covenant Engagements, and lovely Offices. This is the Food of an immortal mind, and well calculated to satisfy it. All the Promises of the Word, the Invitations, and precious Declarations, are set forth as Food for his Children, and we can feed upon nothing else. All the Doctrines of the Gospel, and all the Perfections of God, as displayed in our complete Salvation—if these things are precious to us, this is another evidence that we are Children of God, and have a Right to his Ordinances.—Thirdly, by our _Clothing_. The Obedience of Christ to the Law, is a Robe, the best, or first Robe, lined with Love, and hemmed round with every precious Promise. This imputed to us by the Father, wrought out by the Son, brought into the Conscience by the Spirit, and apprehended by the hand of Faith, we are justified freely, by this covenant Act of Grace. This we sweetly enjoy, when _the Spirit bears witness to our spirits_—at all times we depend on it, for our Righteousness before God. _Humility_ is another part of our cloathing, as Children—_be ye clothed with Humility_. _Zeal_.—This at times is put on; the Exercises of the Graces of the Spirit, on their proper Objects, is called Garments; and while God says, _Put on thy beautiful Garments_, we can say, _I will greatly rejoice in the Lord_, _for he hath clothed me with the Garments of his Salvation_. This shews our Right to the Lord’s Supper. _Fourthly_, in our _Education_. God the Spirit trains us up in the way we should go. Hence it is written, _They shall be all taught of God_. We sit down at the feet of Christ, and learn the Emptiness of the Creature; the Vanity of the World; the Danger of a Form of Godliness without the Power; the dangerous Tendency of false Doctrines; the Devices of the Devil; the Workings of the old Man; the perpetual Warfare between the Flesh and the Spirit; the Difference between the Law and the Gospel; a Minister of the Spirit and one of the mere Letter; what it is to forget the things that are behind, and to be pressing on to know, win, and apprehend Christ as our Salvation, who first loved, choose, and apprehended us. These are some of the many Lessons we learn in his School—and who teacheth like him? We learn how to walk by Faith, live by Faith; to make use of Christ, as the whole Armour of God; and to rejoice in his eternal Love, and immutable Covenant—and these evidence our Right to the sacramental Communion of the Body and Blood of Christ.—I might here mention the _Corrections_ we received—_for whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth_, _and scourgeth every Son he receiveth_. Mark that! they are _Sons_. The kind Presents, the Love-Tokens, the Deliverances, the
