Eighthly and lastly, the Covenant of Grace is styled a §8well ordered Covenant, 2 Sam. 23. 5. He hath made with me an everlasting Covenant, ordered in all things, and sure: Oh, the admirable counsel, wisdom, love, care and tenderness1 of the blessed God, that sparkles and shines in the well ordering of the Covenant of Grace! Oh, how comely and beautiful, with what symmetry and proportion, are all things in this Covenant, ordered and prepared! Oh, what head can conceive, or what tongue can express, that infinite understanding that God has manifested, in ordering the Covenant of Grace so, as it may most and best suit to all the wants, and straits, and necessities, and miseries▪ and desires, and longings of poor sinner's souls: Here are it and full supplies for all our spiritual wants; so excellently and orderly hath God composed and constituted the Covenant of Grace. In the Covenant of Grace, every poor sinner may find a suitable help, a suitable remedy, a suitable succour, a suitable support, a suitable supply. The Covenant of Grace is so well ordered by the unsearchable wisdom of God, that you may find in it remedies, to cure all your spiritual diseases;
