We shall only in short, Observe these Two Points of Doctrine From the words. The first whereof is, that, There is a most gracious and merciful transaction betwixt the Father and the Son for the good and Salvation of poor Souls, even of all the elect, past before the World was. The•e are sure Mercies bargained to David; for they are first his; This is clear from that part of the words; Even the sure mercies of David. The Second is, that, all those mercies are put to sale in the Gospel to (dyvour) ⟨p. 134⟩bankrupt sinners upon exceeding easy, low and condescending terms.
We shall only in short, Observe these Two Points of Doctrine From the words. The first whereof is, that, There is a most gracious and mercifull transaction betwixt the Father and the Son for the good and Salvation of poor Souls, even of all the elect, past before the World was. The•e are sure M•rcies bargained to David; for they are first his; This is clear from that part of the words; Even the sure mercies of David.

The First doctrine is implied, viz. That the Covenant of Redemption, wherein there were so many given to Christ, whose Price he undertook to pay, is se•led and established, according to that John 6.39. This is the Fathers will, that of all he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day. The Second looks to the Administration of this Covenant, By the covenant of grace in the Gospel, according to Vers. 40. And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one that seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life, and I will raise him up at the last day: So that, what is laid on the Son, vers. 39 As the condition of this Covenant, is in the 40 vers. made offer of to Believers by the Gospel.
