6. You have this privilege, by having God to be your God, and by being his 1people, that you may enter in and survey all the rich treasures and jewels of heaven; and when you have so done, you may lay claim unto them all, and say, O Lord, all these are mine by thy promise, and by my right in Christ. Thou art mine, and thy mercy is mine, and thy Christ is mine, and thy grace is mine, and that glory is mine; all this is the purchase of Christ, and all this is mine.

7. You have this privilege also, that all the seals of the Covenant of grace 1are restrained unto your selves alone: As the Covenant is none but yours, and with you, so the seals of the Covenant are none but yours, and unto you only: The seals of the Covenant are to confirm you, and to assure you, and to revive and comfort you, and to establish you; there is not any ungodly person on the earth who hath right unto the seals of the Covenant, and the reason is because he hath no interest in the Covenant it self; you only are the people of the Covenant, and therefore you only have right to the seals of the Covenant.
