1. Is the Covenant of Grace made with Christ for us? and has he undertaken for our Souls as our Surety? is it ordered in all things and sure? ⟨p. 43⟩Then poor doubting Soul, here is a Foundation of Comfort for thee; O! how doth the Love of the Father abound towards us? as to enter into a Covenant for us, with his own Son; here's infinite Love, and Condescension: know, Christ equally engaged for all the Father gave him; Care is ••ken for the weakest Saint, as for the strongest; nay, Christ therefore ••rries his Lambs in his Arms, lays them in the Bosom of his Covenant. Souls, remember God calls it his Covenant, where is it called our Covenant? we may break with God, but he will not break with us; Although' my house be not […] with God, yet he hath made with me an Everlasting Covenant.
