CHAP. XII. Of Adoption.

ALl those that are justified, God vouchsafeth in and for his onely Son Jesus Christ to make partakers of the grace of Adoption, by which they are taken into the num∣ber, and enjoy the Liberties and priviledges of the Chil∣dren of God, have this Name put upon them, receive the Spirit of Adoption, have access to the Throne of Grace with boldness, are enabled to cry Abba Father, are pitied, protected, provided for, and chastened by him as by a fa∣ther, yet never cast off, but sealed to the day of Redem∣ption, and inherit the Promises as Heirs of everlasting Sal∣vation.
