And then the second Bond of Love is: I chose you, and your seed also: And this was a great mercy; If I had 1but only set my heart upon your selves, it had been somewhat, but it was upon you and your seed, so as to bring you, and your seed into Covenant with me. There's two twists (as I may so say) in this Bond of Love, that he should choose them and their seed, and bring them both into Covenant, for thus you have it in Deut. 4. 37. Because 2he loved thy fathers, therefore he chose their seed after them. and in Ezek. 16. 8. there the text saith, It was a time of love; and I took you and entered into Covenant with you. It was a time of Love: and that made the Lord to enter into Covenant with this people. God showed it was a time of love indeed, that he would take such a people as this was, and enter into Covenant with them.
