Now, put all this together, an• value the Arguments produced to make good the first thing propounded, ⟨p. 73⟩namely the sufficiency of the Covenant to relieve and remedy all the sorrows and losses of Believers, be they never so many, or so great; this cannot be doubted, since it hath been proved, that it Disarms all their Afflictions of the only sting by which they wound; Alters the very nature and property of their Afflictions, turning them from Curses into Blessings; Ranks and Disposes them into their proper class and place of service, so as the counsel of men and Angels could never lay them better to our advantage; Engages the gracious and special presence of God with you in all your troubles; Secures all your essential and substantial Mercies from all hazards and contingencies; Discovers a consistency, yea a connection betwixt the Rod and the Love of God; and Assures you, that whatever temporal Mercy you ever enjoyed in, and by virtue of the Covenant, shall be restored to you again with an admirable improvement, and singular ⟨p. 74⟩advantage. It is by all this, I say abundantly proved, that the Covenant is a sovereign and effectua Remedy to all the sorrows o• Gods People; and that it was no• Hyperbole in David's Encomium, when he called it his Salvation, and all his Desire. But then, as I hinted before.
