3. And more directly to the purpose i• hand, Jesus Christ came under this Relation to ratify and confirm the Covenant of Peace, an• ⟨p. 113⟩our sure Right and Title to all Blessings contained therein; Tho it be but a Man's Testament, 1yet if it be confirmed, no Man disannulleth, or addeth thereunto: The Covenant was in force even from the Beginning; and all God's Elect who lived under the Old Testament Dispensation, received the Grace and Blessings thereof, through Faith in Christ's Death, who they knew would come in the fullness of time, and by his Blood confirm this Covenant: The Father, indeed, trusted the Son upon his Holy Compact or Covenant with him, upon the account of what he was to do, and suffer in time. Pray, Brethren, observe, That the Death of Christ, is the great and sure Ratification and Confirmation of the Covenant of Peace. It is a Confirmation of such Validity, that it is made unalterable, and cannot be disannulled.
