VI. It is a Glorious Covenant in respect of those Things which we are hereby delivered from, and are also invested with, and raised up to possess—Is not that a Glorious Covenant, by the Blessings of which, Sinners are delivered from Sin, which is the greatest Evil; and that brings them out of a State of Death, Wrath, the Curse, and Condemnation? And that which also gives them, through the Application thereof, an Interest in God, the chiefest Good; or which restores God to them to be their God forever? Consider what Glorious Gifts and Privileges are given and granted in this Covenant? Is not that a Glorious Covenant in which God is given, Christ is given to the Soul? (But this I shall open more largely under the next Head.) But O! what Glorious Privileges are contained herein, as granted to all true Believers? Moreover, What Glorious Grace is by this Covenant procured for all the Elect?1 And what a Crown and Kingdom do they hereby obtain a true Title unto.
