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.

Soul, life, and the sure mercies of David, vers. 3. These are the Wares, which do all come to the same amount: if ye would know what that is: ye may consider David two ways, one is properly and personally, as he is the Son of Jesse and King of Israel: It's the Covenant which was made with him, a main Article whereof was, that out of his loin thee should one spring, who should sit upon his Throne for ever: and thus the sure mercies of David, are Christ and his benefits: The other way that ye would look on David is, as he was a Type of Christ the Anti-type & Principal Covenanter or confederating Party with God: and so in effect it turns to the same thing: only this latter way is more clear: So then we look on David here: as it is not unusual for the Scriptures to hold him forth, viz.
