Chapter 12
Of Adoption
All those that are justified God vouchsafeth, in and for his only Son Jesus Christ, to make partakers of the grace of adoption;1 by which they are taken into the number, and enjoy the liberties and privileges of the children of God;2 have his name put upon them;3 receive the Spirit of adoption;4 have access to the throne of grace with boldness;5 are enabled to cry, Abba, Father;6 are pitied,7 protected,8 provided for,9 and chastened by him as by a father;10 yet never cast off,11 but sealed to the day of redemption,12 and inherit the promises,13 as heirs of everlasting salvation.14
