Promises. 2. To the Love of GOD.

Many things are promised to those that love GOD.

1. Preservation, The LORD preserveth all them that love him, Psal. 145.20.

2. Plenty, GOD will cause them to inherit substance, and will fill their treasures, Proverbs 8.21.

3. Deliverance, Because hee hath set his love upon mee, there∣fore will I deliver him, Psal. 91.14.

4. Joy, unspeakeable and glo∣rious, 1 Cor. 2.9, 10. That Text is chiefly meant of the Gospels joy, of the wine and fatlings, re∣vealed to the Beleever by the Spirit.

5. GOD knowes them, loves them, will keepe his Covenant with them, sheweth mercy to them and their posterity, and

hath promised them a crowne of life.

If any man love GOD, the same is knowne of him, 1 Cor. 8.3. I love them that love mee, Pro. 8.17.

He sheweth mercy to them, and thou∣sands of their generations that love him, Exod. 20.6. Hee shall receive the crowne of life, which the LORD hath promised to them that love him, James 1.12. & 2.5.
