In the Covenant God promiles to give us The Spirit bimfelf, his Son, and his Spirit. The bond is given by of the Fæderal and myftical union on Gods Covenant as a bond part is the Spirit, and on our part Faith, of union. which is wrought in us by the fameCo-effentiall Spirit. And Christ is the only Mediatour of this Covenant.

dently set before the eye of our faith, that by the grace of Chrift, assistance and fellowship of the holy Ghoft, we may have a more intimate Communion with God; for this feet Communion with the Father of our Lord fefus Chrift is by the Communion of the bloud of God, (Acts 20.28. compared with 1 Cor. 10.16.) and of the Spirit of God. 2 Cor. 13.14. This is the grand Ordi The grinance for the higheft, fweetest, strongest ing, faving Communion with the Father in the Son, and by the fpirit, that can be attained to whileft we are cloathed with flesh. The Gospel is appointed both for the begetting and encrease of grace; this Ordinance is annexed to the Gospel, that the Gofpeland this Ordinance both together may (by the power of Chrift and his holy Spirit) be effectual according to the Counsel of Gods will for bringing of loft Sinners into a faving communion, nay, a growing,thriving communion with Father, Son, and holy Ghoft, that we may come to be enriched at laft with the unfearchable riches of Chrift, and filled with all the fulness of God.

And therefore this mystery of the Coeffentiall Trinunity must be acknowledged by all who are admitted to this Sacrament, because this is the greatest confirmation of the great Bond of the highest Communion The bighest which we can have with Father, Son, and communion holy Ghost, and with the most pretious
