It is called Everlasting Righteousness, Dan. 9.24. because it will hold out as far as there is occasion for it: there may be Garments cut out of it for as many as ask for them, and to spare: it can never have an end: the Virtue of Christs satisfaction is Infinite, Heb. 7.25. All are therefore invited to come for it, and a promise is made that ⟨p. 73⟩none that do come shall be rejected.
