Admire free-grace in this great gift I have heard of a gracious Christian that lying down in his bed and rising up had this in his mind and mouth Thanks be to God for his unspeakable gift Iesus Christ is such a gift as never came out of the hands of God and was never received by the hands of man a gift that consecrates all other gifts as the altar sanctified the gift laid thereon all Gods gifts to us without this would in some sort be giftless gifts crumbs cast to dogs as Luther call'd the Turkish Empire without which all our persons and performances are no better than dung in Gods account yea in Saints esteem as so many cyphers without a figure yea without Christ we our selves had been dead and damn d wretches Christ is the darling of Heaven the delight of Saints the object of Angels admiration If Heaven and earth were consolidated into one massy Pearl it would not be as the dust on the ballance to blessed Iesus cast in all the holy Angels and rational souls they would all be but trifles compared with this Lamb of God He is the best part of heaven all heaven more than heaven the King makes the Court his presence makes heaven which would be a black nothing a Tohu and Bohu an hell without his company Oh that real Saints were transported with admiration of Gods love in giving Christ and Christs love in giving himself for and to them this will be their work for ever begin it here and cry out with the Martyr in the flames None but Christ none but Christ.
