Joy

Indeed the saints rejoice in their interest in God, and that Christ is theirs, and so they have great reason; but this is not the first spring of their joy. They first rejoice in God as glorious and excellent in himself , and then secondarily rejoice in it that so glorious a God is theirs. They First have their hearts filled with sweetness from the view of Christ's excellency, and the excellency of his grace, and the beauty of the way of salvation by him; and then they have a secondary joy, in that so excellent a Savior and such excellent grace is theirs."
