SERMON IV.
IT is a most desirable design and worthy to be driven vigorously by us all, to the prosecution whereof it would very well become us to stir up and rouse our selves and one another, according to the Laudable Practice of these here mentioned, even to hasten towards a closure of the Covenant of Grace betwixt God and us: to have it sounding loud in our ears, and to have it as the Language of our hearts whetted to an edge in pursuit of the thing. Come, let us Join our selves to the Lord, in a perpetual Covenant that shall never be forgotten: It should be the great work and business of a Communion-Sabbath in a special manner, as it is our professed design this day, to close and make sure this Covenant and blessed bond betwixt the Lord and us.

Having spoken somewhat formerly at several occasions to these sweet words. I shall not now trouble •ou either with the division or explication of them: but shall instantly propose Six or Seven Observations from them, and then speak a word to the scope, and to the Application of them, in the close: and though it be but a short word from each of them that we have to speak; yet they will be found to be very Concerning to us, and therefore we would take the more exact notice of them.
