4. Behold the Excellency of Faith, as it applies Christ, and takes hold of him, and gives Peace to a Poor, Troubled, and Wounded ⟨p. 257⟩Spirit; and also see what sure footing, and firm foundation there is for Faith in this Covenant.
5. Moreover, from hence you may see the strength and sufficiency of Christ in all the Concerns of his Mediation, together with his Excellencies; How precious is he who is made all in all things to us?
6. Reproof. But how doth this reprehend their Folly and Ignorance, who affirm that Believers, yea, Justified Persons, may finally and totally fall away and perish? How are such here detected?
Terror. It may also be for Terror to such, who think they are God's People, and yet are Unbelieving, and Profane Persons, they glory they are Christians, born of Christian Parents; nay, Protestants, and know the Articles of their Religion (and were Baptized, as they call Sprinkling) but are Swearers, Drunkards, Unclean Persons, Proud, and Covetous ones, &c. Alas, what will their Religion signify? You hear who are God's People, and what kind of People they are.
