Fifthly, consider, That the promises of God are a Christians §5Magna Charta, his chiefest evidences for heaven; divine promises are Gods Deed of Gift, they are the only assurance which the Saints have to show for their right and title to Christ, to his blood, and to all the happiness and blessedness that comes by him. Look,1 as Judah by pleading and bringing forth the signet, the bracelets, and the staff, saved her life, so we by believing, pleading, and bringing forth the promises, must save our own souls; the promises are not only the food of faith, but also the very life and soul of ⟨p. 10⟩faith, they are a Mine of rich treasures, a garden full of the choicest and sweetest flowers, in them are wrapped up all celestial contentments and delights. And this is most certain, that all a Christians conclusions of interest in any of those choice and precious privileges which flow from the blood of Jesus Christ, ought to be bottomed, grounded and founded upon the rich and free promises of grace and mercy.
