most ready and willing to helpe them (that truly serue him) in all their needs and extreamities And whereas he being debter to no man, might neglect, yea reiect all, yet he amongst many chooseth some (albeit of them∣selues altogether vnworthy and strangers from God and his couenant) who may both temporally and eternally, enioy his goodnesse, and alwayes praise and magnifie him for it.
The particulars hereof appeare towards the elect, and euidence them-selues especially in Gods constant loue towards them through Christ,* 1.2 in their effectuall calling, in their iustification, and sanctification, in disposing and directing all things,* 1.3 yea euen their afflictions, Rom. 8.28. yea their very sinnes to their good,* 1.4 and by aduancing them in the time appointed to euerlasting saluation and happinesse.
1. Vse. Seeing that God is so good and bountifull to his elect, we that serue so good a Lord and maister, must be ashamed to offend him, and wee must thinke it an in∣tollerable matter to requite his goodnesse with euill. And when God shall either in his iustice correct vs for our offences, or else chastice vs (thereby to produce and worke some greater good) wee must neuer repine and grudge against him; for he in wisdome and mercy ma∣nageth all things for our good and saluation, Hebr, 12.7. and 10. Rom. 8.28.
2. Wee must acknowledge that wee receiue all good things from God alone, wee must admire and esteeme them, and repose our whole trust and affiance in God for his goodnesse and bountie, and seeke and sue vnto him by prayer and supplications in all our distresses and di∣stractions; then will he delight to doe vs good, and be a present succour and shelter vnto vs in time of neede. Psal. 46. v. 1. Hebr. 4. v. 16.
3. Vse. Lastly, wee must day and night, publikely and priuately, sound and set forth his mercies toward vs, that whereas he might haue made vs and left vs to be vnbe∣leeuing Iewes, or blinded and idolatrous Papists or

ignorant Atheists, or prophane and godlesse Painims, hee hath vouchsafed vs the glorious light of his sauing truth, and hath taught vs both outwardly and inwardly how to walke before him and so to attaine vnto euerlas∣ting rest and blessednesse.
