2. Ex parte confaederatorum, in respect of the people of God, who are brought 1into Covenant, and shall continue in Covenant for ever and ever; you have both these expressed in Jer. 32. 40. I will make an everlasting Covenant with them, that I will not turn away from them to do them good, but I will put my fear in their hearts that they shall not depart from me. Mark the place, it shows that the Covenant is everlasting on Gods part, and also on our part; on Gods part, I will never turn away from them to do them good; and on our part, They shall never depart from me; how so? I will put my fear in their hearts that they shall not depart from me, (even that fear spoken of in ver. 39. that they may fear me for ever)
