1) 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,a by which they are taken
into the number, and enjoy the liberties and privileges of the
children of God,b have his name put upon
them,c receive the spirit of
adoption,d have access to the throne of grace
with boldness, are enabled to cry Abba,
Father,e are pitied,f
protected,g provided for,h
and chastened by him as by a Father,i yet never
cast off,j but sealed to the day of
redemption,k and inherit the promises as heirs
of everlasting salvation.l
