Summary
Of Wonder. NOthing being more Wonderful than an invincible Lover triumphant over Injuries.
Of Liberty. Being entred therein, we walk at large with unlimited Freedom in Gods Commandments.
Of difficulty. Because nothing at first is more contrary to Nature. But Gods Example hath made it easie.
Of Glory. The Glory of Christ is his Love of Sinners. Whom, whosoever imitateth, in the universality of it, he is a Son of God.
Of Triumph. Death, Hell, unkindness, temptation trampled under foot,
Of invincible Peace. Nothing can offend them ;
Of unchangeable Goodness. Nothing can discourage them :
Of Beauty and delight. They are amiable in the Eye of God and Angels, and ravished with security in the heigths of Triumph.
