Chapter VIII

The Kingdom in the Covenant

Gov hath put the kingdom into this covenant; ‘‘ Theirs is the kingdom of heaven,” Matt. v. 3. “It is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom,” Luke xii. 32. Glorious things are spoken of thee, O thou city of God. I might here enlarge in describing the glory of this kingdom; but when I have said all, I must at last leave it within the vail; and therefore shall only tell you from the apostle, “‘ Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him,” &e. 1 Cor. ii. 9. When by the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, the eyes of your understandings are opened, ye shall know “what is the hope of bis calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,” Eph. i. 18.
