12. Adam brake the whole frame of heaven and earth: and to the Second ADAM the whole broken and marred lump of the Creation is promised,1 that he may be the repairer of the waste places. Isa. 49.8. I will preserve thee, and give thee for a Covenant of the people, to establish the earth, to cause to inherit the desolate heritages. Ps. 72.16. Under the reign of the Messiah, There shall be an handful of corn upon the top of the mountains, the fruit thereof shall shake like Lebanon. Jer. 31.12. Therefore shall they come and sing in the height of Zion, and shall flow together for the goodness of the Lord (Christ) for wheat, and for wine, and for oil, and for the young of the flock, and of the herd.
