Promises, given unto the Saints in the old Testament belong unto believers living under the new Testament. The Promise made unto Joshua Josh. 1.5. & to David Psal. 118.6. The Hebrews are led by the hand unto & taught confidently to make use of, in reference unto their present, and Personal cases. For he hath said I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. So that we viz: believers under the Gospel, & not only David, may boldly say, the Lord is my helper, I will not fear what man shall do unto me. The truths held forth by the Prophets, touching salvation by Christ: concerned not only those, who lived in the times of the old, but also us; who live in the times of the new Testament. 1 Pet: 1.10, 11, 12. Unto whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves, but unto us, they did minister the things which are now reported unto you. The exemplary justification of Abraham by faith, is written in the old Testament for our sakes. Rom: 4.23, 24. Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was imputed to him: but; for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we believe in him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead. The examples of the old Testament, are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come 1 Cor: 10.11. Not now to labour further in the proof hereof, by an induction of particulars: the usefulness of the old Testament to those that live under the New, we have asserted once for all; and that, concerning all that part of Sacred writ. Rom: 15.4. For whatsoever things ⟨p. 21⟩were written afore time, were written for our learning: that we through patience, and comfort of the Scripture might have hope. John 5.39. The Jews in the time of Christ, are Commanded to search the Scripture, which necessarily proceeds of the Scriptures of the old Testament, the new, as then not being extant. After the time of Christ we hear the Testimony of the new Testament, concerning the profitableness of the Old. 2 Tim: 3.16, 17. All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: that the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works. Understand this, as spoken of the holy Scriptures, known by Timothy of a child, which must necessarily be the Old Testament.
