In these two Covenants every sincere Christian will find, 1. A special salve for every spiritual sore. 2. A special remedy against every spiritual malady. 3. A special plaster against every spiritual wound. 4. A spiritual magazine to supply all their spiritual wants, and 5. A spiritual shelter under every spiritual storm. In these two Covenants you will find food to nourish you, a staff to support you, a guide to lead you, a fire to warm you, and springs of life to cheer and refresh you.

In this Covenant of Grace and the Covenant of Redemption,1 you may clearly see the wisdom, counsel, love and transactions between the Father and the Son sparkling and shining, there being nothing under Heaven that contributes more to the peace, comfort, assurance, settlement and satisfaction of sincere Christians than such a sight, the main reason why so many gracious souls are so full of fears, doubts, darkness and disputes about their internal and eternal estates, is because they have no more clear and full understanding of these two Covenants; and if such Christians would but more seriously buckle to the study of those two covenants, as they are opened and applied in the following Treatise, their fears and doubts, &c. would quickly vanish, and they would have their triumphant songs, their mourning would soon be turned into rejoicing, & their complaints into Hallelujahs. Neither do I know any thing in all this world that would contribute more to seriousness, spiritualness, heavenliness, humbleness, holiness and fruitfulness, ⟨image 4⟩
