The Ninth Scripture is that, Psal. 89. 28. My mercy 1will I keep for him for evermore, and my covenant shall stand fast with him; with whom? why with our dear Lord Jesus, of whom David was a singular type. There are many passages in this Psalm, which do clearly evidence, that its to be interpreted of Christ; yea, there are many things in this Psalm, that can never be clearly, pertinently and appositely applied to any but Jesus Christ; for a taste, see vers. 19. I have laid help upon one that is mighty, mighty to pardon, to reconcile, to justify, to save, to bring to glory, suitable to that of the Apostle, Heb. 7. 2▪ 5. He is able to save unto the uttermost, that is, to all ends and purposes, perfectly, completely, fully, continually, perpetually: Christ is a thorough Saviour, a mighty Saviour, Isa. 63. 1. Mighty to save; there needs none to come after him, to finish the work which he hath begun, vers. 19. I have exalted one, chosen out of the people; which is the very2 title given to our Lord Jesus, Isa. 42, 1. Behold my servant whom I uphold, mine elect (or chosen one) in whom my soul delighteth: vers. 20. I have found David my servant. Christ is very frequently called by that name, as being most dearly beloved of God, and most highly esteemed and valued by God, and as being typified by him both as King and Prophet of his Church, vers. 10. With my holy 3oil have I anointed him; suitable to that of Christ, Luk. 4. 18. The spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the Gospel to the poor; and therefore we need not doubt of the excellency, authority, certainty and sufficiency of the Gospel, vers. 27. I will make him my first born, higher than the kings of the earth; Christ is the first born of every creature, and in all things hath the preeminence: vers. 29. His seed also, will I make to endure
