preferve him
to the execution
;
or
whether it be the right
of
children. But now
if
you
be the children
of
God,you
come
to
your
Tables,
as
to
your
Fathers Table
,
it's the
provilion
that
your
Father doth
make
for
you, and
fo you
may look upon
it.
And
this is
the priviledge of the
children
of
God
:
O
what
a
blerled
thing
is
it to
be.
a
child
ofGod then.
And
then the
rift
priviledge of
a
child of
God
is
this
;
He
bath
free acceife
to
his
Fathers pretence
;
by
may come
at
any
time
into
his
Fathers pretence ,
and
fo
long
as
he
is
owned
to be
a
child
,
he
may come
with
Comfort into
his
Fathers
pretence. Go
ha.h no
children
that
he
ferves
as
David
ler-
ved
.Ab
filom ,
Let
hi'm not
fee my face
;
he acknowledged hint
to be
his
child,añd yet
he
would
not
have
him
to
fee
his
face
;
No, but God
loves
to
have
his children be
in
his
pretence;
and
it
is
a
part of the
purchafe
of
Jefas
Chrilt that
we
Cu
add-
come
into the pretence of
God
by
him.
We
have acceffe
by
Jefus
Chril
},
and
we
may
alwaye`s
come and
Hand
before
our
Father,
which
is a
great priviledge that
thrfe
which are
the
children of.God
account of.
Sixthly,
By
being
the
children of
God
they
come
to
have
the
Image
of God
renewed in
them
;
A
Fa-her communicates
fornewhat
of
his
nature
to
his
child, but
a
Father
cannot
coot
-
municate
all
the
good
that
he pleafes
to
his
child
;
a
Father
that
hath
wifdome
,
cannot communicate
his
wifdome
to
his
child
;
a
Father that
hath holineffe, cannot communicate his
holineffe
to
his
child. But
now
God,
he communicates what
he
pleafes
to
his
children
;
Communicates of
his
Image
to
them, communicates
-hat
wherein
his
very
Glory
dorh
toutíf.
The
Reafon
why
a
Father
cannot communicate
wiidome
and.
holinetle
to
his
child,
it
is
becaufe
he
begets
the
child
as
a
man,
but not
as
a
man
foxclialiified
:
But
now-when
God be-
gets
a
child,
if
he
begets
a
child
to
himfelf, he
muff
beget him
.
like
unto himfelfe tome
way
or
other. Now
cd
himfelfe
is
holy, and
in..nitely
wife
;
It
is
not
accidentali
to God
to be
holy
and
wile,
and to be
vovd and
free
of all kind
of
time.
Therefore
all
that
are
the children of
Cod
,
they having on
Cods
Image, are like
to
God,
in that
which is
the
excellency
