Author
Title
Three kingdoms made one, by entring covenant with one God; wherein we have these remarkables, worthy all observation. I. What it is to covenant with God. II. How hardly his people are drawn into it. III. How the Lord has suffered his adversaries from time to time to buffit his people thereinto. IV. The height of this Covenant above former covenants, and reasons why? Clear demonstrations also to shew. I. The necessity of this League and Covenant; whereunto there are grave objections made, and answered. II. The legality and equity of this Covenant for the casting out of archbishops and bishops, with their curates service, and all together; and answer made to all that can be reasonably objected against their casting forth. III. The exemplarynesse of this covenanting way; it is according to the foot steps of all the godly, as all the truely noble in the world have gone in before us. IV. The seasonablenesse of it, and therein the power, wisedome, and goodnesse of God, all wonderfully admirable. V. The sweetnesse of the promise touching this matter, the purging out of the rebels; and how saluted a farre off: if rebels continue longer in the land; if more rebels come plundering into the land, then there is excellent reason, why it must be so, and abundance of comfort for the Church of God, and no cause of fear. VI. The force, efficacy, and vertue of covenanting with God; it never failed the church; it never shall fail the church unto the worlds end. VII. One objection there is, but it is cleared; and Gods interest in the businesse is so cleared too, that He must help His people, that He must. VIII. We have reasons and arguments enough, why He must help; his glory is engaged, even He Himself; and so we have concluded. By E.W.
