3. If you would enter into the Bond of the Covenant, get Faith in the Blood of the Covenant. Christ's Blood is the Blood of Atonement; believe in this Blood and you are safely arked in God's Mercy; Eph. 2.13. Ye are made nigh to the blood of Christ.
Use 4. Of Comfort to such as can make out their Covenant Interest in God: 1. You that are in Covenant with God, all your sins are pardoned. Pardon is the crowning Mercy, Psal. 103.3. Who forgiveth thy iniquity, who crowneth thee, &c. This is a branch of the Covenant, Jer. 31.33. I will be their God, and I will forgive their iniquity. Sin being pardoned, all wrath ceaseth. How terrible is it when but a Spark of God's Wrath flies into a Man's Conscience; but sin being forgiven, no more wrath. God doth not appear now in the Fire, or Earthquake, but covered with a Rain-bow full of Mercy.
