Chapter 12: Of Adoption
All those that are justified, God vouchsafed, in and for
the sake of his only Son Jesus Christ, to make partakers of the grace of
adoption, by which they are taken into the number, and enjoy the liberties
and privileges of the children of God, have his 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 Father, yet never cast off, but sealed to the
day of redemption, and inherit the promises as heirs of everlasting salvation.
