MEDITATION. XXVII.

In Christ Crucified I may see a New Co∣venant of Grace and Life and Peace, esta∣blished, so that it is most sure and Ever∣lasting. Jesus is the Mediatour of this Co∣venant, and every time I come to the Ta∣ble this Covenant is sealed and confirmed to me, that I may with the greater confi∣dence expect the accomplishment of the promises which are contained in it. These Promises are exceeding great and precious. Temporal blessings in such a measure as the Wise God sees convenient are here made over to me, for he that is a Son and Heir

of God, is the Heir of the World, the Heir of all things.

Spiritual blessings which are of greater value, are more absolutely promised, and may with greater vehemency be desired, and with greater confidence expected. And as the Lord has engaged to give me Grace, so to give me Glory, he has said he will give me himself and be my God and Guide, my Shield, and my exceeding great Reward. And truly the Ordinances of Heaven are not so immutable and unchangeable, as the Covenant of Redemption and Reconci∣liation; Heaven and Earth shall passe away but one joy or tittle shall in no wise pass from the Covenant till all be fulfilled.
