He is the God of peace, as with respect to the blood of Christ, which is the purchase of peace; so with respect to the Covenant which is made between God and us, [Through the blood of the everlasting Covenant,] there are three sorts of Covenants amongst men; some are Covenants of Friendship and Amity, some are Covenants of Trade and Commerce, and some are Covenants of Assistance and Help. Now all these qualifications meet in this Covenant which is made between God and Believers: it is a Covenant of Peace and Friendship, for now we stand upon terms of amity with God. Those who were strangers and enemies are now reconciled. And there is between God and us perfect peace; there is a League (as the Scripture speaks) between God and the Creature. It is the Covenant of Trade, there is now a way opened •o Heaven, we may now ascend to God in duties of holiness, and God descends to us by the excitations of his grace and influences […] And it is a Covenant of Assistance, for he promises nor only to ⟨image 63⟩give us the reward of the Covenant, but to secure unto us the condition, he promises to enable us to discharge the condition of Faith and Repentance. Now upon this account of that Covenant which is founded in the blood of Christ, he is the God of Peace to his people.
