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^a Privileges of Children of God; have his^b 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; are^e pitied,^f protected,^g provided for, and^h chastned by him, as by a Father; yet neverⁱ cast off, but sealed^j to the Day of Redemption, and inherit the Promises,^k as Heirs of Everlasting Salvation.^l
