And of the Saviour with Men.The Agreement between the Saviour and Men on his Part consists in this; that he offers the Benefit of his Engagement to all; bestowing at the same time the Power necessary to their Acceptance of it, and their complying with it; by which the Favour of God, or Reconciliation with him, and a Righteousness which is acceptable to him, and Eternal Salvation is gain’d, and the Right of a Subject in his Kingdom, or Admission into it, and Union with him, is obtain’d. All which Things are abundantly demonstrated by the Things which have been produced from the Holy Scriptures. And on the Part of Men it is required in this Covenant, that they embrace this Benefit with a sincere and firm Faith and Trust: With which Faith there is join’d by an inseparable Connexion a serious and earnest Desire and Endeavour after Holiness and Piety; forasmuch as the Son of God was manifested to destroy the Works of the Devil, the chief of which is Sin, 1 Joh. 3:8. and to restore the Primitive Holiness, Isa. 44:5. Luke 1:74, 75. Col. 1:27. Which Covenant it pleased the Saviour to adorn with Two Sacred Rites or Sacraments.
