Others perhaps cry out, O that we might have mercy, and O that we might have Christ! and O that God would be pacified towards us, and reconciled to us, and ⟨p. 171⟩O that our sins might be forgiven, and our souls accepted into life! why you have all this, and more than this! Have you not cause to rejoice who are brought into such a Covenant where you have a propriety in God, and Christ, and the Spirit, and mercy, and grace, and glory? yea into such a Covenant where you may find relief and support for every want, and against every fear, and against every sin, and against every temptation? where all the sorts of mercies, and helps and comforts are yours? Yea unto such a Covenant where there is not only mercy, but fullness; and not only fullness; but freeness, and with all these a certainty and unchangeableness? Here is as much mercy, and goodness, and happiness as you need, and you shall surely have it, and it shall continue unto you for ever. Adam and God parted; but you and your God shall never part; you and Christ shall never part; you and mercy, and grace, and salvation shall never part.
