Sol. Nay then, I have done, if yet you understand not, If yet you think it so poor, so mean a thing for God to be your God in Covenant. I tell you brethren, when God becomes your God in Covenant, when he saith to a person, I will be a God unto thee; it is infinitely more then if the Lord should say to a man, I will give unto the all the world: O for God to be my God, what is it but this, I am thine, and all that I am, or have, or can do shall be thine and for thee. I am an ⟨p. 225⟩holy God and that shall be to make thee holy, I am a merciful God and that shall be to pardon thy sins, I am a powerful God and that shall be to help thee, to deliver thee, to conquer for thee; I am a faithful God and that shall be to make every promise good which I have made unto thee, I am a wise God, and that shall be to bring in thy comforts, thy deliverances, thy helps in the most desirable season.
