set_v up_o as_o mediator_n from_o everlasting_a be_v not_o then_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n as_o ancient_n we_o be_v consider_v in_o he_o because_o choose_v in_o he_o though_o christ_n

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 even_o from_o eternity_n to_o eternity_n for_o none_o can_v doubt_v but_o david_n be_v a_o type_n of_o christ_n and_o so_o represent_v in_o my_o text_n the_o covenant_n here_o speak_v of_o be_v that_o

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

of_o redemption_n it_o be_v large_a to_o christ_n than_o that_o in_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n i_o answer_v as_o the_o covenant_n be_v primary_o make_v with_o christ_n it_o be_v make_v with_o he_o for_o all_o the_o elect_n as_o their_o head_n and_o surety_n and_o therefore_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v large_a as_o well_v as_o it_o be_v a_o merit_a reward_n but_o as_o we_o be_v concern_v in_o the_o same_o covenant_n we_o have_v nothing_o as_o a_o reward_n because_o we_o work_v not_o and_o as_o consider_v as_o particular_a person_n it_o be_v enough_o our_o own_o particular_a soul_n and_o

it_o must_v needs_o be_v so_o large_a and_o extensive_a but_o as_o to_o the_o particular_a member_n that_o can_v comprehend_v more_o than_o he_o or_o she_o that_o believe_v as_o a_o part_n of_o the_o seed_n which_o he_o be_v to_o see_v it_o be_v enough_o therefore_o that_o we_o be_v the_o save_v the_o redeem_a and_o not_o the_o saviour_n or_o redemer_n of_o other_o but_o if_o by_o virtue_n of_o the_o covenant_n of_o redemption_n we_o be_v not_o redeem_a call_v it_o no_o more_o the_o covenant_n of_o redemption_n therefore_o 1_o sy_n i_o will_v know_v whether_o faith_n which_o be_v call_v
