Now then (Beloved Christians) this being the end of Covenants and Oaths mutually between God and his People; ⟨p. 15⟩sc. To Unite, and Secure the one to the other; when a People or Person, haffle, or break with God after all this, the end of the Covenant is frustrated and defrauded; The bands are broken, the security dissolved; all falls in sunder, as a bundle of Arrows, when the bond is cut, and then in comes fears, doubts, and jealousies; which oft do no small mischief in the soul, while they even take a poor People, or Person Captive, and spoil them of their precious treasure, that they can hardly recover their former comforts, or confidence again, in a long time; These breaches do so wound their spirits, and shrink up their sinews (I speak of the People of God themselves) that with their Father Jacob, they go halting (peradventure) to their very Graves.
