For the first, Isa. 42.6.1 I gave thee for a Covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles, Isa. 49.8. I will preserve thee, and give thee for a Covenant of the people: Christ, God and man, is all the Covenant: 1. Because he is given to fulfil the Covenant on both sides: 2. He is the Covenant, In abstracto, he is very Peace and Reconciliation it self, Mic. 5.5. And this man shall be the peace, when the Assyrian shall come unto our Land: 2As fire is hot for it self, and all things hot for it, and by participation: so thou art in so far in Covenant with Christ, as thou hast any thing of Christ, want Christ and want Peace and the Covenant.
