2. The Son is in Covenant with us, and speaks to us in this language, thou art mine; how comes that about? why, I have redeemed thee, I have called thee, by thy name,¹ and therefore thou art mine, this is Christ's Covenant with us; he brings us back to his Father, from whose presence we were banished, and sets us before his face for ever; he undertakes for us to take up all controversies which may fall out between God and us; he promiseth to restore us to the Adoption of Sons; and not only to the title, but to the inheritance of Sons, that we might be where he is.²

2. 2Joh. 17.24.

¹3. The Holy Ghost makes a Covenant with us. By one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified; whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness and a worker. — This is the Covenant that I will make with them, I will put my Law into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them. I know the Father is implied in this, yet here is the proper work of the Holy Ghost: what the Father hath purposed for us from all Eternity, and the Son hath purchased for us in his time, that the Holy Ghost effects in us, and for us as in our time, he applies the blood of Christ for the remission of Sins: he writes the Law in our hearts: he comforts us in our sadness: he supports us in our faintings, and guides us in our wanderings. Now he that effects these things for us, and in our behalf he is therefore said to make a Covenant with us. Thus Elohim, God personally considered, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost are in Covenant with us.
