5. And what is it that with such glory and certainty is delivered to us from Heaven? It is a Deed of Gift (thus sealed by Christ's Blood and Spirit) of Grace and Glory; of Christ to be our Head, and Lord, and Husband, and Life, in and with him. John 5.10, 12. of the free pardon of all our sins how many and great soever, and of reconciliation with God, and of justification by the blood and righteousness of our Redeemer, and of the continued teaching, preserving, sanctifying, strengthening, comforting aid of the Holy Spirit; of adoption and title to the Heavenly Inheritance; that being Sons, and having the Spirit of the Son, by it we shall be sealed up to Glory, and be made the Habitation and Temples of God: In a word, it is a promise of this Life, so far as that all things shall work together for our good, Rom. 8.28. and of the life which is to come, where we shall live in Glory with Christ for ever. This is the sure and blessed Covenant of God.
6. And what is the Doctrine and Laws of God, are they not also suited to our Trust and Joy? Is it not a delightful thing to read ⟨p. 11⟩that which no mere man could tell us? How God made Man and all the World, and what Laws he gave him? How sin came into the world, and death by sin? How God hath governed the World from the beginning, and how he hath redeemed us? What Christ is, and what he hath done, and what he will do? And what man is, and what he should be, and what he shall be, and do, and have for ever.
