The Scripture is termed a Paradise; it is like a Paradise, wherein we have the streams of the water of life, and the tree of life, Jesus Christ: and wherein we have the Promises of life. And there is no Angel to keep the door, or gate, or entrance of this Paradise; but rather we are allured to come to it to refresh our selves. There is God himself walking, there is Christ himself the tree of life. Therefore we should make the Scriptures wondrous familiar to us, especially single out the Promises, make use of them: learn what it is to live by faith in the Promises: for All the Promises in Jesus Christ, in him are Yea, and in him Amen. To the Glory of God by us.
The end of all this, that God will engage himself by promises; that he will stablish these promises so sure in Christ Jesus the Mediator, God, and man; that he will make them Yea, and Amen in him, it is for his own glory: And to the glory of God by us Ministers; for we preach these promises to the people, and people believe them, and they believing give glory to God. Gods glory is manifested in the Gospel, especially when it is believed in the 1Promises.
