It is a sure Covenant, because it is made with such a Surety as Jesus Christ is, it is ⟨p. 200⟩not made primarily with us, but with Christ for us, and with us in him; the sure mercies of David: That is our Lord Jesus Christ, he is the true Antitypical David. Sure, because they are Mercies granted to us through' Christ's suretyship; and when a Sinner is brought into the bands of the Covenant, God is said to make this Covenant with him, i. e. he actually entering then through' Christ into Covenant with God; but our standing then in it, is upon the account of Christ's Covenant with the Father for us.
