That he be authorized to give Laws to the World, (all Judgment being committed to him) and to make with Men a Covenant of Grace and Life, and send forth Ministers to proclaim it, and ⟨p. 125⟩the Spirit to effect the gathering of his Church; that his Intercession for them shall be accepted, and that he shall Judge all the World, and justify and glorify his Chosen according to the tenor of his Covenant of Grace: Which is all accordingly performed.
