Christ makes the Covenant Effectual or Efficacious to all his Members, filling all who believe, ⟨p. 196⟩with all grace by the Spirit, leaving not one believing Soul empty of what is truly good. Doth the Soul want light? Christ will give it; He is the Light of the Gentiles: The Light of the World. Doth he want Liberty? Christ releases the Captives. Doth he need Rest?
