Concerning the way of Covenanting with God, and of a sinners obtaining Iustification before Him.
This last Epistle, directed to the Church of Laodicea, doth contain a short sum of the Gospel, and Gods way of engaging sinners to Him. It will therefore be meet to take some more particular consideration thereof: For, here, 1. we have man described in his sinful condition, •s miserable, naked, poor; and withal, blind and ignorant of the same. 2. We have the remedy proposed, to wit, gold, and white raiment, &c. that is, Christ and His righteousness, which is the great promise of the Covenant of Grace, as the mids leading to the enjoying of God. 3. There is the condition on which this is offered, that is, believing, expressed under the terms of buying, opening to Him, hearing His voice, &c. 4. There are motives whereby the acceptance of this offer upon such terms is pressed, and that both from the necessity thereof, and hazard if it be slighted, and from the many advantages that do accompany the accepting thereof. 5. We have the duties that are called-for upon this acceptance, to wit, ••al and repentance, which are comprehensive of all.
