Again;1 If God be All-sufficient; let us be exhorted to make a Covenant with him;2 for (as I told you before) these words do but contain the Covenant between God and us. Now, this is the Covenant, that God will make with you; if you will enter into Covenant with him, that he will be All-sufficient to you. Now, that which is expressed here generally, I find in other places, divided into these three particulars, where in the All-sufficiency of God consists, as if they were the three parts of this Covenant.
