V. The Covenant is sure; because it is confirmed by the Promise and Oath of God:1 Once have I sworn by my Holiness that I will not lye to David, — his Seed shall endure for ever, and his Throne as the Sun before me. 2This is as the waters of Noah unto me, for as I have sworn that the waters of Noah shall no more go over the Earth, so have I sworn that I will not be wrath with thee, nor rebuke thee; compared with Heb. 6.13, 16, 17, 18.
VI. It is a Sure Covenant to all Gods Elect; because the Execution of it is put into Christ's own hands, he is the Executioner of his own Will and Testament, for tho Christ was dead yet he is alive;1 I am he that liveth and was dead, and behold I am alive forevermore. Christ sees his last Will and Testament fully executed by his Spirit.
