more_o 1._o i_o have_v long_o long_v to_o handle_v this_o head_n of_o personal_a covenant_n you_o have_v now_o hear_v fourteen_o sermon_n on_o it_o the_o stone_n of_o these_o wall_n and_o the_o timber_n of_o this_o house_n god_n himself_o and_o his_o holy_a angel_n shall_v be_v witness_n against_o you_o if_o you_o do_v not_o personal_o covenant_n with_o he_o for_o in_o so_o far_o as_o i_o

personal_a covenant_v with_o god_n i_o know_v nothing_o will_v conbribute_v more_o to_o make_v you_o serious_a christian_n than_o the_o practice_n of_o it_o and_o if_o you_o have_v not_o do_v it_o

and_o say_v i_o be_o the_o lord_n and_o another_o subscribe_v and_o call_v himself_o by_o the_o name_n of_o israel_n 2_o if_o you_o will_v go_v and_o do_v it_o all_o by-gones_a shall_v be_v

say_v i_o be_o the_o lord_n and_o from_o this_o time_n forth_o will_v covenant_n to_o take_v he_o as_o he_o be_v offer_v in_o the_o gospel_n and_o do_v the_o duty_n that_o the_o covenant_n require_v the_o bargain_n be_v make_v and_o it_o be_v subscribe_v it_o be_v a_o everlasting_a covenant_n and_o as_o you_o have_v make_v a_o everlasting_a covenant_n you_o shall_v have_v a_o everlasting_a name_n so_o long_o as_o god_n be_v god_n and_o this_o covenant_n shall_v bring_v you_o to_o the_o place_n where_o you_o shall_v be_v make_v a_o pillar_n in_o the_o temple_n of_o god_n and_o you_o know_v a_o

this_o part_n of_o the_o verse_n remain_v which_o be_v the_o assurance_n that_o david_n have_v that_o he_o be_v personal_o covenant_v with_o god_n he_o can_v affirm_v it_o and_o set_v it_o down_o in_o the_o bible_n and_o make_v it_o a_o part_n of_o the_o canon_n of_o the_o scripture_n the_o lord_n have_v make_v with_o i_o a_o everlasting_a covenant_n so_o that_o this_o be_v the_o three_o thing_n i_o shall_v take_v this_o three_o note_n and_o therewith_o close_a this_o second_o branch_n of_o the_o verse_n and_o the_o note_n be_v this_o doctrine_n that_o not_o only_o do_v god_n take_v believer_n in_o a_o personal_a covenant_n with_o he_o but_o they_o may_v be_v clear_a assure_v and_o able_a to_o affirm_v it_o that_o god_n have_v make_v a_o covenant_n with_o they_o this_o assurance_n david_n have_v here_o and_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n do_v so_o agree_v with_o his_o assertion_n that_o it_o be_v make_v a_o part_n of_o the_o cannon_n a_o part_n of_o the_o bible_n that_o god_n make_v with_o he_o a_o everlasting_a covenant_n so_o this_o be_v the_o truth_n that_o i_o will_v handle_v this_o day_n that_o one_o may_v be_v assure_v and_o very_o clear_a they_o may_v be_v able_a confident_o to_o assert_v that_o god_n have_v make_v a_o covenant_n with_o they_o this_o be_v a_o thing_n of_o great_a importance_n i_o will_v follow_v it_o in_o this_o method_n 1._o i_o will_v open_v to_o you_o that_o assurance_n of_o a_o personal_a interest_n to_o the_o covenant_n be_v very_o necessary_a 2_o i_o will_v show_v you_o that_o this_o assurance_n be_v not_o only_o attainable_a but_o it_o be_v not_o so_o difficult_a as_o ordinary_o it_o be_v apprehend_v to_o be_v 3_o i_o will_v open_v to_o you_o some_o of_o the_o way_n and_o method_n that_o the_o spirit_n keep_v in_o bring_v believer_n to_o be_v assure_v that_o god_n have_v make_v a_o covenant_n with_o they_o and_o last_o i_o shall_v apply_v it_o for_o the_o first_o that_o this_o assurance_n that_o we_o particular_o be_v in_o covenant_n with_o god_n be_v of_o great_a necessity_n that_o we_o may_v be_v able_a to_o say_v the_o lord_n have_v make_v with_o i_o a_o covenant_n for_o clear_v a_o little_a the_o necessity_n of_o it_o i_o will_v premise_v two_o distinction_n first_o take_v notice_n that_o there_o be_v a_o threefold_a assurance_n that_o the_o scripture_n mention_n first_o there_o be_v a_o assurance_n of_o knowledge_n colose_o 2.2_o that_o their_o heart_n may_v be_v comfort_v be_v knit_v together_o in_o love_n and_o unto_o all_o riches_n of_o the_o full_a assurance_n of_o understanding_n to_o the_o acknowledgement_n of_o the_o mystery_n of_o god_n and_o of_o the_o father_n and_o of_o christ_n 2_o there_o be_v a_o assurance_n of_o faith_n heb._n 10.22_o let_v we_o draw_v near_o with_o a_o true_a heart_n in_o full_a assurance_n of_o faith_n have_v our_o heart_n sprinkle_v from_o a_o evil_a conscience_n and_o our_o body_n wash_v with_o pure_a water_n 3_o there_o be_v a_o assurance_n of_o hope_n heb._n 6.11_o and_o we_o desire_v that_o every_o one_o of_o you_o do_v show_v the_o same_o diligence_n to_o the_o full_a assurance_n of_o hope_n unto_o the_o end_n v._o 12._o that_o you_o be_v not_o slothful_a but_o follower_n of_o they_o who_o through_o faith_n and_o patience_n inherit_v the_o promise_n there_o you_o have_v a_o threefold_a assurance_n there_o be_v a_o assurance_n of_o knowledge_n that_o be_v the_o first_o proposition_n of_o the_o practical_a syllogism_n by_o it_o i_o come_v to_o be_v assure_v of_o the_o mystery_n of_o godliness_n that_o it_o be_v a_o truth_n there_o be_v a_o assurance_n of_o faith_n whereby_o i_o be_o assure_v of_o my_o interest_n in_o that_o mystery_n there_o be_v a_o assurance_n of_o hope_n whereby_o i_o be_o assure_v that_o god_n will_v make_v out_o all_o that_o be_v contain_v in_o that_o mystery_n now_o we_o take_v in_o all_o the_o three_o when_o we_o speak_v of_o assurance_n in_o the_o covenant_n there_o must_v be_v first_o assurance_n of_o knowledge_n that_o god_n have_v make_v a_o covenant_n and_o on_o what_o term_n he_o have_v make_v in_o 2ly_a there_o be_v assurance_n of_o faith_n that_o i_o be_o in_o that_o covenant_n 3_o there_o be_v assurance_n of_o hope_n that_o all_o the_o content_n of_o that_o covenant_n shall_v in_o due_a time_n be_v accomplish_v when_o i_o say_v that_o it_o be_v necessary_a a_o believer_n be_v assure_v i_o take_v in_o all_o the_o three_o but_o 2_o take_v notice_n that_o there_o be_v a_o twofold_a necessity_n when_o we_o say_v this_o assurance_n be_v necessary_a that_o god_n have_v make_v a_o covenant_n with_o we_o first_o there_o be_v something_o necessary_a for_o the_o be_v of_o a_o christian_n 2_o there_o be_v somewhat_o necessary_a for_o the_o well-being_n of_o a_o christian_a now_o we_o say_v not_o assurance_n that_o we_o be_v in_o the_o covenant_n be_v necessary_a for_o the_o be_v of_o a_o christian_a no_o one_o may_v be_v in_o covenant_n with_o god_n and_o far_o from_o be_v assure_v of_o it_o several_a time_n question_n about_o their_o interest_n may_v be_v more_o necessary_a than_o assurance_n for_o they_o several_a time_n the_o thief_n scandalous_a and_o presumptuous_a sin_n will_v take_v away_o their_o assurance_n and_o some_o time_n the_o moth_a slothfulness_n will_v take_v it_o away_o it_o be_v a_o hard_a doctrine_n and_o dreadful_a to_o say_v assurance_n be_v necessary_a for_o the_o be_v of_o a_o christian_a only_o this_o assurance_n we_o say_v be_v necessary_a for_o the_o well-being_n of_o a_o christian_a they_o can_v live_v so_o comfortable_o in_o christ_n if_o they_o be_v not_o assure_v that_o the_o covenant_n be_v make_v with_o they_o so_o you_o may_v understand_v what_o be_v mean_v by_o this_o when_o we_o say_v assurance_n be_v necessary_a for_o the_o well-being_n of_o a_o christian_a to_o be_v assure_v that_o he_o be_v in_o the_o covenant_n to_o confirm_v this_o i_o will_v offer_v you_o five_o or_o six_o thing_n that_o
