“I myself have often found, that when I can say but this word Father, it doth me more good, than when I call him by any other Scripture name. It is worth your noting, that to call God by his relative title, was rare among the saints in Old Testament times;
seldom do you find him called by this name;
sometimes not in three or four books;
but now, in New Testament times, he
is called by no name so often as this, both by
the Lord Jesus himself, and by the apostles afterwards.”

“Some are given to Christ, that he by them might bring about some of his high and deep designs in the world. Thus Judas was given to Christ, to wit, that by him, even as he determined before, he might bring about his death, and so the salvation of his elect by his blood. Yea, and Judas must so manage this business, as that he will lose himself for ever in bringing it to pass. Therefore the Lord Jesus, even in his losing Judas, applies himself to the judgment of his Father, if he had not in that thing done that which was right, even in suffering Judas so to bring about his master's death, as that he might by so doing bring about his own eternal damnation also.”
