O
happy
and glorious state
of
the
children
of God!
Christ,
in
his
providential management
of
ail
things
in
this world, has
a
chief regard
to his own
,people.-
The
wicked
of
the
earth
who dwell
among the saints,
come
í''f'or
a
share
of
the common
good
things
of
life,
chiefly,.
as they
are instrunsents
of
the providence
of
Christ,
for
some known
or
unknown-
benefit to
his
church.
I
might tell
you
also,
that if
you
are
Christians indeed,
then
though
your
ungodly
neighbours
may have
a
right-
ful civil
property
in
Tnatty
good
things
of
the world, yet
you have
a better
and sweeter
interest
in
the
earthly
bles-
sings which you possess.
You can taste
the
love
of
a
Father
in
them,
and the kindness
of a
reconciled God.
They are common
beret
to
the
world,
but
they are
made
as
it
were
special blessings
to,
you,
They
are put
into
your
hand
by
a
'better covenant
:
They are
sancti-
fied
to
your
use
:
The
world
itself
becotnes a means
to
raise your
hearts
towards God. And whereas
wealth,
and honoúrs,
'and
the
plenteous enjoyments
of
life,
be-
come a
temptation and
a
snare
to
the wicked
;
and,
through the
corruption
of
their natures,
divide
their
souls
