Rh again and again charging you not to troubled, no not in the least (sinfully troubled,) so as to obstruct thy  or thy believing, John xiv. 1, 27. He now upon the throne, having spoiled upon his cross (in the lowest state of his humiliation) all whatsoever can hurt or annoy thee. He hath born all thy sins, sorrows troubles, temptations, &c. and is gone to prepare mansions for thee.

Thou who hast seen Christ all, and thy self absolutely nothing, who makest Christ all thy life, and art dead in all righteousness besides, thou art the Christian, one highly beloved, and who hath found favour with God, a favourite of heaven. Do Christ this one favour for all his love to thee, love all his poor saints and churches (the meanest, the weakest, notwithstanding any difference in judgement) they are engraven on his heart, as the names of the children of Israel on Aaron’s breast-plate, (Exod. xxvii 21.) let them be so on thine. Pray for the peace of Jerusalem, they shall prosper that love thee, Psalm cxxi. 6.
