2. Take this conclusion, that though multitudes of people may lay claim to God as their God, yet there are but a few men in the world, that have God to be their God in a Covenant way; as in Zach. 13. 8 9. the Lord there looks upon the Jewish Church under a threefold consideration. And it shall come to pass that in all the land (saith the Lord) two parts therein shall be 1cut off and die, but the third shall be left therein, and I will bring the third part through the fire, ⟨p. 263⟩and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as Gold is tried; they shall call on my name, and I will hear them; I will say, it is my people, and they shall say, the Lord is my God: though you all lay claim to God, yet there may be but one part in three, that can truly say that God is their God in covenant with them.
