O my soul! believe for thy self; believe, and be confident of it that those Eternal projects, counsels, love, purpose, decree, and covenant betwixt God and Christ were all for thee: hast not thou a promise? Nay, was there not a promise before the world began? and that very promise the promise of eternal life? Mark the words,1 in hope of eternal life, which God that cannot lie, promised before the World began. Here's a promise, and a promise of Eternal life, and a promise of Eternal life made by God, by God that cannot lie, and that before there was a World, or any man in the World; If thou enquirest, to whom then was this promise made? Sweet soul, it was made to Christ for thee; many promises thou hast in Scripture made more immediately to thy self, but this was the grand promise, and all the other promises they are but a draught of that grand promise that God the Father made to his Son before the World began.
