Privi-ledges
of
the Chifdren
of
God.
Thirdly,
'The third priviledge,
The
intire fatherly love
that
they
are
imbraced with
all
;
God
who
is
the In
:nice
glo-
rious
firltbeing,
imbraces
them
with
an
intire
fatherly love.
All
the
low..
that ever
was
in
any
parents towards
children,
is
but
as One
dròp,
of
the infinite
ocean
of
fatherly
love
that
there
is
in
God
unto
his
people
:
You
that are
fathers or
mao-
thers;you know what
the
love
of
a
Parent to
children: means..
Now when you find
that
natural affection
of
love
to child:
eny.
you
ihould
help your Faith
by this
if
you
be godly And
is
it
fo
that
I
that
am
a
parent
have
fuch
affections
and
love
towards
my
children ,
that
come
from my
body
?
O the
atf:.ctions
then and love
of
God
a
Father to
his
children.
Why
is
it
that
God
bath
taken
upon
him this
tide
of
a
Father
,
but
to
the
end that
it
might be
a
ground of
the
Faith of
his
people,
to
look
up
unto
him,
and
to
fee his love ,
as
in
ire
as
ever the
love
of parent,
the
love of
all
parents
in
the
wo
id put
toge-
ther
is
towards
children
;
but
all
the
natural'
affec ions
of
all
that moft loving
tender
hearted parents that ever were
in
the
world
into
one
garent,
you
will
fay
that Father
furely
is
a
lov-
ing
Father,
that
bath
all
the
love
that
all
that
'Fathers had
in
the
world,
fine
the
beginning
he
bath
it
áßl
in
his
heart
yet
I
fay
of
this
Father ,
he were
a
hard
-heard
carnal
Father
in
comparifon
of
God,
of the
love
of
God
that
is a
Father unto
his
Saints
:
That's the third priviledge.
Fourthly,
The
fourth
priviledge of the children of
God, it
.
is
the right that they
have
unto the creatures
that
is
reftored
lanto
'them
by
being children
:
Why
the Jews they
werede-
priv'd of a
great
part
of the
comfort
of the creature
;
but
now
the children of
God
have
their
right
reftored, renewed,
tirengthened, increafed,
their
right
to
all
comforts in
all
crea-
tures.
It's
true, Adam
he
had
a
right unto the creature
ât
firft, and
by
fin
he loft
it,
fo
that
all
mankind have
loft
their
right unto
the creatures.
You
will
fay,
what
are
wicked men
uffrpers
then,
when
they
m4e'ufe:
of
the-
creature
?
have
they
no
right
?
I
confeffe
this fometimes hath been
taught
That though
they
hive a right before men, yet they
have no
right
before.
God,
