1. Upon the account of Creation, thus he is our God and Father; O Lord thou art our Father, we are the Clay, and thou art our Potter, and we are all the works of thy Hands, Isa. 64. 8. 2. Saith he, By external Calling and Profession, there is an intercurrent Relation of the Father and Son between God and his People: Thus the Posterity of Seth are called the Sons of God, Gen. 6. and the entire Nation of the Jews are so called; When Israel was ⟨p. 173⟩young, I called my Son from Egypt, Hos. 11.

Secondly, God may be said to be the God of a People by way of special Interest, by Election, Regeneration and Adoption; thus he was not a God to the whole House of Israel, both to Parents and Children without exception: Yet we grant God was their God by entering into a visible and external Covenant with them; and as so considered he was said to be their God, and an Husband to them. Jer. 31. 32. Which Covenant they broke, although I was an Husband to them, saith the Lord. But pray observe, the New Covenant is said not to be according to that Covenant which God made with this People, when he took them by the Hand and brought them out of the Land of Egypt.
