So take it in the strictest, in the strongest sense you can; all the Promises of God in Christ they are so true, that they are invariably, constantly, eternally true in him, they are made in him, and performed in him; they are Yea in him, and Amen in him. So the whole carriage of the Promises is only in Christ.

The truths we are to deliver out of the words are these:
First of all we must know, That since the fall of man, it hath pleased the Divine Nature, the three Persons in Trinity, to stablish a Covenant of 1grace, and so of salvation in Jesus Christ; and to make him a second principle, a second Adam, by whom mankind is restored to a better estate then ever we had in the first Adam. God now since the fall takes another course to bring us back again to him. He doth not leave us as he left the Angels that fell, in a state of perdition for ever: but as we fell by infidelity and distrust of him, so now we are recovered again by Promises, and by faith in them.
