On ISAIAH. 55.1, 2, 3. — I will make an Everlasting Covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David.
IT is hard to conceive or express, whether the things which the Gospel offereth be the most large, or the terms on which they are offered be the most free. There is that, no doubt, in both together, which may make the beholder stay and wonder. Among many excellent offers of the Gospel, that which is here is one very full and free: would to God we could look on it suitably. But Alas! we may fear, that we shall rather leave these sweet words with a veil cast over the Beauty, Splendour and Lustre of them, then lay them forth and unfold them as we ought, and as they call for; we would therefore look to himself whose words they are, and beseech him to explain and make them out to us.
