2. The Unchangeable God hath promised to maintain their graces, and thereby his interest in them for ever, Jer. 32. 40. And I will make an everlasting Covenant with them, that I will not turn away from them to do them good; but I will put my fear in their hearts, that they shall not depart from me. Where the Lord undertakes for both parts in the Covenant, his own and theirs; I will not turn away from them, O unexpressible mercy! Yea, but Lord, may the poor Believer say, that is not so much my fear, as that my treacherous heart will turn away from thee. No, saith God, I will take care for that also; I will put my fear into thy heart, and thou shalt never depart from me.
