2. If God undertakes to give all, then he must find all from himself, and 1of his own; Men many times give away that which is none of their own; but God gives nothing but what is his own, but what comes out of his own stock and treasury.

3. If God undertakes to give all in the Covenant, then you shall be surely helped; 1you have good reason to expect it, for your Father hath all to give; How much more shall your heavenly Father give good things to them that ask? will not a father give to his poor child? Certainly your God is an infinite God, a most gracious and glorious God, and perfectly all-sufficient; he hath heaven and earth in his own possession; he hath all the good to dispose of which is good; he must needs be infinite in mercy, who can give all mercies, and infinite in grace, who can give all grace, and infinite in glory, who can give all glory, &c. For as this shows his infiniteness that he hath all good to give, so this shows his perfection, that when he hath given all this, yet there is no diminution made in his stock at all.
