by_o decree_n and_o purpose_n the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n in_o my_o text_n be_v call_v a_o everlasting_a covenant_n and_o it_o may_v refer_v before_o time_n as_o well_o as_o after_o all_o time_n

this_o covenant_n must_v be_v the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n because_o it_o be_v make_v with_o david_n the_o son_n of_o jesse_n i_o mean_v it_o refer_v to_o he_o in_o christ_n and_o the_o like_a with_o all_o believer_n also_o as_o all_o their_o salvation_n and_o desire_n it_o can_v rational_o be_v suppose_v but_o that_o david_n in_o my_o text_n do_v allude_v to_o the_o covenant_n mention_v in_o this_o psalm_n although_o none_o be_v actual_o bring_v into_o it_o until_o they_o believe_v or_o have_v actual_a union_n with_o christ_n yet_o make_v with_o all_o believer_n in_o christ_n from_o
