_The Hebrew word in this, and the two other scriptures above mentioned, is_ ערב _which signifies_, In fidem suam recipere; spondere pro aliquo; _and it is used in several other scriptures, in the same sense, for a person’s undertaking to be a surety for another. See Gen._ xliii. _6. chap._ xliv. _32. Prov._ xi. _15. Job_ xvii. _3. 2 Kings_ xviii. _32. and elsewhere._ Footnote 94: Διατιθεμαι υμιν, καθως διεθετο μοι ο πατηρ μου βασιλειαν.

XXXII. QUEST. XXXII. _How is the grace of God manifested in the second covenant?_ ANSW. The grace of God is manifested in the second covenant in that he freely provideth, and offereth to sinners a Mediator, and life and salvation by him; and requiring faith as the condition to interest them in him, promiseth and giveth his Holy Spirit to all his elect, to work in them that faith, with all other saving graces, and to enable them unto all holy obedience, as the evidence of the truth of their faith and thankfulness to God, and as the way which he hath appointed to salvation.
