4thly. This Covenant is all our Desire, all our Hope and Salvation, because there is no Relief, no Justification, no Pardon, no Salvation any other ways: there is no Water of Life, but in this Fountain, no Justification, but by this Righteousness; nor Riches, but in this Treasury; no Corn; but in this Garner; no Light, but in this Sun of Righteousness that is given to us for a Covenant, and to be a Light unto the Gentiles. No pardon of sin; but by this Redemption; no Grace, but at the Throne which God hath Erected in this Covenant. No Strength, but by this Arm of the Lord: no Cure, but by the Balsam of this Covenant, and Covenant Physician: no Sanctification, no cleansing from Sin and Pollution, but by washing in this River.
