II. R [ *59 1 THE PREFACE. SEVERAL things hath the life, begotten by the eternal virtue, breathed in me towards my Father for, in relation both to myfelf and others, from my childhood. As touching myfelf j firft, that I might be a vefTel for him ; that I might be freed from the bondage of corruption, and brought forth in the image of his life. Secondly, That I might be filled with his life ; that I might be fatisfled in the prefence, and with the fulnefs of the fpring of my life -, even that I ...might have enough of my God in my heart continually. Thirdly, That he would of his own mere goodnefs both preferve the vefTel, and dwell in it for ever; that fo my tenure and pofTefilon of him, and fitnefs for him, might be of his grace, of his love, of his good-will, of his own nature, depending wholly and altogether on him, and not at all on any thing that can be expected from the creaturehood in its pure Hate.
