Gospel reconciliation, or, Christ's trumpet of peace to the world

That the goodness of God unto his people is a fruit of the covenant; it cometh not only out of love, but it cometh unto them as the fruit of an everlasting covenant that God hath made with them, a sure covenant; now in the covenant of grace that God hath made with his people, there is a connection of all mercies a concatenation of all the goodness of God there, the treasure of mercy is in the covenant, and an exceeding strength of mercy in the covenant, to bear down all hindrances and oppositions, there mercy is tied unto them by truth, and as we read of the covenant between Jonathan and david, in 1 Sam, 20, 15. That David made a covenant with Johnathan, that he would never cut off his loving kindness from him, nor from his house after him; such a covenant hath God made with all his people, that he will never cut off his loving kindness from them; he hath made no such covenant with the wicked, no, God may show them some favour for the present, yet he hath not made a covenant that he will never cut off his mercy from them; you may have abundance of favours this day, but you may have them eternally cut off from you, but the saints of God are in such a blessed condition, as God doth not only show them mercy for the present, but he hath made a covenant with them never to cut off his loving kindness from them and upon this covenant though there he many weaknesses and, many distempers in them frailties and infirmities, yet God will never cut off his loving kindness from them;
