Fifthly, Believers are Christ's Sheep, by a Holy Covenant or Contract made with the Father; and by virtue of this Covenant they were 1given to him. By virtue of this Covenant he died for them; by virtue of this Covenant they became his, and he calls them, renews them, and changes them; He shall see his Seed. It was by the Blood of this Covenant the Great Shepherd of the Sheep was raised from the Dead; that they might be raised, quickened, and 2justified. By virtue of this Covenant he gathers them, and carries them in his Arms, and lays the young and tender Ones in his Bosom; and gently leads such that are with Young, Isa. 40. 11. By virtue of this Covenant he puts his Fear into their Hearts, that they may not depart from him.3
