2. This is an exceeding encouragement unto you under any wants, or in any 1great distresses, to go by faith unto your God, who hath made a full and perfect Covenant with you. O thou distressed sinner, here is mercy enough laid up for thee, and here is peace enough, and goodness enough, and power enough, and grace enough, and help enough. God doth not promise unto you a little of his mercy, nor a little of his kindness, nor a little of the righteousness of Christ, nor a little of holiness, nor a little of spiritual joy; Psal. 81. 10. Open thy mouth wide, (enlarge the desires of your hearts, you do not crave enough) and I will fill it, (I will plentifully answer, and satisfy you) Eat O friends, drink, yea, drink abundantly O beloved! Phil. 4. 19. My God shall supply all your need, according to his riches in glory by Jesus Christ. Heb. 4. 16. Let us come boldly unto the Throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and grace to help in time of need; you have no cause to be dejected, either with the multitude of your wants, or with the depth and greatness of your distresses; nor have you any cause to doubt and fear the supply and redress of these; for God hath made a full, rich and perfect Covenant with you; whiles there are answerable supplies, and super-abounding helps, and these in a Covenant, and for you, there is more reason to set your faith on work to fetch in the supplies, than to set your fear on work because of your wants; in all your distressed and needy conditions, be pleased to look on this Covenant, (seriously do so) bring your wants and distresses thither, and there shall you find proper helps, and plentiful engagements; and now stir up your faith to believe, and to take hold on God: Lord, here is the mercy which I need, and here is the exceeding riches of mercy which I do need, and here is the love, the great love, and here is the grace, the abundant grace, and here is the comfort, and the abundant comfort, and here is the strength, the greatness of that strength which I do need, here it is laid up for thee by me; I come unto thee in the Name of Christ, (whose I am) and I beseech thee abundantly to pardon me, to supply all my need according to thy riches in glory.
