3. All the whole Gracious Name of God, every Title that he hath given himself, every Ascription of Honour unto himself that he hath owned, is confirmed unto us, (unto as many as ⟨p. 199⟩believe,) in Jesus Christ. For as he hath declared unto us the whole name of God, John 17. 6. So not this, or that Promise of God, but all the Promises of God are in him, Yea and Amen. So that as of old, every particular Promise that God made unto the people, served especially for the particular occasion on which it was given, and each Name of God was to be rested on, as to that dispensation whereunto it was suited to give relief, and confidence; as the name of Elshaddai to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and the name Jehovah to Moses and the people; so now by Jesus Christ and in him, every particular Promise belongs unto all believers in all their occasions; and every Name of God whatever, is theirs also, at all times, to rest upon and put their trust in. Thus the particular Promise made unto Joshua at his entrance into Canaan, to encourage and strengthen him in that great enterprise of conquering the Land, is by the Apostle applied unto all Believers in all their occasions whatever. I will never leave thee nor forsake thee, Heb. 13. 5. So like wise doth every name of God belong now unto us, as if it had in particular manner been engaged in Covenant unto us. And that because the whole Covenant is ratified and confirmed unto us by Jesus Christ, 2 Cor. 6. 18. Chap. 7. 1. This then absolutely secures unto us an interest in the Name of God insisted on, the God of forgiveness, as if it had been given unto every one of us to assure us thereof.
