“ Lord, Have respect to
the covenant.'
⁠Are you concerned about inward enemies, spiritual ene-
mies, and molested with the powers of darkness? Is your
heart full of the habitations of cruelty, and fearfully in-
habited with cruel devils, cruel lusts, cruel corruptions that
master and conquer, and prevail against you so as you
may ly many a time wounded and dead at the enemy's
feet? O here is a covenant of fin conquering grace, not
only a covenant of mercy to your soul, but of vengeance
to your lusts, saying, 'The day of vengeance is in mine. ”

“ The poor wrestling man is a prince, and the
poor wrestling woman a princess, in God's sight: This is
the honour of all the saints. They have power with God,
and therefore no wonder that they have 'power over the
nations, to rule them with a rod of iron', 'they judge and
torment them that dwell upon the earth, even here; and
'know you not that hereafter the saints shall judge the
world?' God hath a respect to you, and he will shew is in
due time because be hath a respect to the covenant and
billed your heart with respect to it also. ”

“ God may Remember and have regard unto, 'have respect
unto the covenant.' Thou haft brought us into covenant
with thee, might he say, and though we are unworthy to
be respected; yet have respect onto the covenant of pro-
mise. When God delivers his people, it is in remembrance
of his covenant, Lev. xxvi. 42.. Then will I remember
my covenant with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob ”
