In these Observations Ye have a short hint of the Treasure that Believers have in Christ: and from them ye may gather, what a full Christ, a full Covenant, and good bargain ye have, who have really closed with him: ye have a most liberal and Richly bountiful Mediator, who hath put all these great things and many mo into his Testament to sinners, offered to them in the Gospel and Sealed in the Sacrament of his supper, to all them that take him and rest Satisfied with him: for which satisfaction there is all the reason in the world.

And therefore to come, in particular Application, to the Use of all: There is •ere good and large ground to speak a little to these Three 1. To Bring forth to you the good news of Salvation through Christ. 2. To Exhort and press you to embrace and accept of them with gladness of heart, to make welcome this Faithful saying worthy of all acceptation, that Christ came into the world to save sinners. 3. To Comfort a•d solace sinners, that have betaken themselves to Christ, in the abundant consolation of this Covenant, and in the administration of it, and in the Mediator the great subject and Substance of it: and seeing it may well be said here, who is ⟨p. 307⟩sufficient for these things? ye would have an eye to him, who can make this Gospel to savour sweetly, and even triumph: The Commission to preach it is his; the Ordinance and Institution is his; and if there be any appetite for your food amongst you, any sense of sin and desire of Communion with Blessed Jesus here, and of Communion with him in Heaven hereafter, Look, O look up to him and beseech him to Breath on his own Ordinance, and to back this word with life and power.
