Pet. 1.17 which without respect of persons iudgeth according to euery mans worke passe the time of your dwelling here in feare saith the Apostle In all our miseries and feare we are imboldened by the Spirit of Christ to call God our Father as we may reade Gal. 4.6 Because yee are sonnes God hath sent the Spirit of his Sonne into your hearts which cryeth Abba Father Math. 23.9 Wherefore Christ commandeth vs to call no man father on earth that is in faith and religion a reason he giueth saying There is but one your Father which is in heauen he is a father that made both body and soule and is ready to saue both when earthly parents forsake vs he will take vs when they leaue vs he will receiue vs when they will not and cannot help vs he can and will help vs when they dye hee liueth for hee is an euerlasting and an euerliuing Father first and last the beginning and the end a beginning without beginning and an end without end Many children bragge and boast of their parents gentry and they accompt it a great honour to be called the sonne of a King as Dauid said when hee should marry Sauls daughter Doe you thinke it a small thing to be a Kings sonne Should the children of God thinke it a small thing to be the sonnes and daughters of the King of Kings and Lord of all Lords King of heauen and earth He is worthily called a Father for he is Pater sanctitatis The Father of sanctity Pater potestatis The Father of power Pater pietatis The Father of piety The Father of sanctity and holynesse and therefore Christ saith Iohn 17.17 Father sanctifie them in the truth The father of power because hee can doe all things therefore he that knew best said Mark 14.36 All things are possible to thee The Father of piety and mercy and therefore the Apostle calleth him The Father of mercy 2.
