5. This then is a Promise equally made unto all Believers; it is to all that are in Covenant; neither is there any thing that is of peculiar importance to any sort of Believers of any time, or age, or dispensation, therein comprised. It equally respecteth all, to whom the Lord extends his Covenant of Grace. Certainly the giving of the Spirit of Grace is not enwrapped in any Promise, that may be of private Interpretation: the concernment of all the Saints of God lying therein. It cannot but be judged a needless labour to give particular instances, in a thing so generally known in the word; Though the Expressions differ, the matter of this Promise is the same with that given to Abraham, the Holy Spirit being the great blessing of the Covenant,1 and bestowed on all, and every one, and only on them, whom God hath graciously taken into Covenant from the foundation of the World.
