1. By pleading the Covenant; by enabling us to go unto, and rest upon our God in Covenant, to let out that strength and sufficiency of that grace which 1he hath promised unto all his people in Covenant with him; the strength to keep the Covenant lies in the Covenant, and by faith you get it.
- 1By pleading the Covenant.
Thou saidst that thou wouldst do me good, said Jacob, Gen. 32. 12. So Lord thou saidst that thou wouldest give me thy Spirit to cause me to walk in thy statutes and to do them, Ezek. 36. 27. Thou saidst thou wouldst write thy Law in my heart; Now Lord! according to thy word and Covenant help, strengthen, keep, direct, establish my heart, subdue mine iniquities, suffer me not to be tempted above what I am able, let thy grace be sufficient for me, make thy power manifest in weakness, &c.
