5. There's not only a seed, but a rich conquest, the heathen promised, and the ends of the earth, Psal. 2.8, 9. Dominion from sea to sea▪ Zech. 9.10. Psal. 72.8. Dan. 7.14. and both this and the former satisfies Christ. There is not a sight so desirable to the eye of Christ, as to see all his Redeemed ones conquering and last in the fields, and fairly landed on the shore, passed Gun-shot and reach of all temptations. We satisfy our unbelieving hearts too much▪ 1Ah! who can stand, temptations are so strong. But as JEHOVAH fully satisfies Christs soul, his hope, his aim and intended end in all the Articles of the Covenant of Redemption: so fear not, JEHOVAH cannot break off the Treaty with his Son, nor can Christ be left unsatisfied.
