The first thing that he spake to Jacob that concerns us as well as himself was this, That the foundation of the comfort 1of the Saints it is in the Covenant of God. That he spake to us there, Gen. 28. 13. when he appeared to Jacob, what said he to him? I am the God of Abraham, thy Father, and the God of Isaac; Jacob was flying for his life then, and this was to comfort him in his danger, I am the God of Abraham, thy Father, the God of Isaac; then he spake this to us, that the foundation of the comforts of the Saints in the times of their distresses, it is the Covenant of Grace that God hath made with them, and their fathers before them.
- 1Obs. 1.
The second thing was this, That the seed of Jacob are 1the inheritors of the Land of Canaan; for so he told him, The Land wherein thou liest, I'll give to thee, and to thy seed. Now this concerns us, that the seed of Jacob shall inherit the Land of Canaan, That was typified by it. There are some that have a thought that yet there shall be an inheritance of the Land of Canaan by the faithful seed of Jacob, but however, this certainly he spake to us, that all the seed of Jacob are the Inheritors of the Land of Canaan one way or other, take it in the Literal, or in the Typical Sense.
