My Brethren, there was a twofold Confirmation of the Covenant.
I. It was confirmed by God in Christ,1 and this was, as I conceive, in that Council of Peace that was held in Eternity betwixt them both: True, among Men this is called,2 The Signing of the Articles of Peace; but there was a full Confirmation of this Covenant, when it was Agreed on, and Signed, and that by both Parties.
1. The Father Confirmed it to Christ, and to all the Elect in him, by his Oath;1 I have made a Covenant with my Chosen, I have sworn unto David my Servant: By David is meant Jesus Christ; and I see no reason to doubt, but that this Oath of God the Father to the Son, as Mediator of our Peace, passed to him before the World began; Once have I sworn by my Holiness, 2that I will not lye unto David.
