First, Here is the real and royal performance of the Covenant, which God, that cannot lye, not only offereth unto all, to whose ears the sound of the Word doth come, and striketh hands with such as by Faith make it theirs, but giveth and performeth the very truth thereof, when they are once entered into the society of the Covenant: wherefore it is called, ^oThe exhibiting of the Covenant, a putting into possession, as it were, by livery and seisin, Ezech. 20. 37. and Paul saith, Gal. 3. 23. The promise by the Faith of Jesus Christ, is given to those that believe. So we find recorded, Jer. 31. 34, 34. This is the Covenant which I will make with the House of Israel, I will put my Law in their mind, and write it in their heart, and will be their God, and they shall be my people: I will be favourable to their iniquities, and their sins will I remember no more. And again, Ezech. 36. 25, 26, 27. I will pour ⟨p. 420⟩upon you clean waters, and ye shall be clean from your pollutions, and from all your abominations will I cleanse you, and I will give unto you a new heart, and a new Spirit will I put in the midst of you: and I will take away the heart of stone out of your flesh, and will give unto you a hart of flesh, and my Spirit will I put in the midst of you, and make that ye shall walk in mine Ordinances, & my Judgements ye shall observe & do.
