God therefore, loving man, doth after the breach of the first agreement and Covenant, when Adam had lost himself by his sin, and was in a most miserable plight as ever creature was in the world, falling from so great a happiness into wondrous misery: he raised him up, and comforted him, by establishing a second, a new and better Covenant, laying the foundation of it, in the blessed seed of the woman, Christ, the Messiah, who is the ground of this new Covenant, and so of our communion and fellowship with God, without whom there can be no intercourse between God and us in love; and because this Covenant was almost forgotten, therefore now in Abraham's time God renewed it to Abraham in this place, I will be thy God, and the God of thy seed after thee, &c.
