be going into temptation, or in present danger of falling into some transgression, it is not improbable that these words, spoken in a suitable manner, in his hearing, REMEMBER YOUR COVENANT, would prevent his fall; or, if he has already fallen, it may be those words would be the means of recovering him out of the snare of the devil, and of bringing him unto unfeigned repentance."

6. While you expect justification and all the blessings of salvation, solely on account of the righteousness of Christ, and trust in Him alone for grace to fulfil your covenant engagements, endeavor habitually and practically to remember that his obedience unto death has not released believers from their obligations to personal holiness; that it has not diminished, but greatly increased those obligations. See Isa. lxiv: 6. Rom. iii: 20. Phil. iii: 89. Rom. iv. 2 Cor. v : 14, 15.

7. In your daily secret prayers, entreat your covenant-keeping God to fulfil to you that gracious promise recorded in Jer. xxxi: 33, putting his law, the rule of the Covenant, in your inward parts, and writing it in your hearts," that He would make it ready and familiar to you, at hand when you have occasion to use it, as that which is written in the heart; that he would work in you a strong disposition to obedience, and an exact conformity of thought and affection to the rules of the divine law, as that of the copy to the original."
