3. Gods unchangeable Covenant-Love, •••ch inclines him to seek the dust of his confederates. God hath taken a believer into Covenant with himself, body and soul; therefore Christ proveth the Resurrection from Gods Covenant-Title; Matth. 22.31, To be a God, is certainly to be a Benefactor, Gen. 25.26. Not blessed be Shem, but blessed be the Lord God of Shem. And to be a Benefactor, becoming an Infinite Eternal Power. If he had not Eternal Glory to bestow upon us he would not justify his Covenant-Title, Heb. 11.16. To whom God is a benefactor, he is a Benefactor not to one part only, but to their whole Persons: Their bodies had the mark of his Covenant upon them, their dust is in Covenant with him, and where-ever it is dispersed, he will look after it. Their death and rotting in the Grave doth not make void his Interest, nor cause his Care and Affection towards them to cease.
