ceremonial_a covenant_n that_o be_v dedicate_v with_o blood_n

to_o be_v never_o so_o small_a a_o transgression_n though_o in_o the_o least_o circumstance_n the_o curse_n of_o the_o law_n present_o take_v hold_v upon_o they_o and_o that_o without_o mercy_n for_o as_o james_n say_v whosoever_o shall_v keep_v the_o whole_a law_n and_o yet_o offend_v in_o one_o point_n he_o be_v guilty_a of_o all_o and_o according_o the_o curse_n of_o the_o law_n be_v

covenant_n itself_o to_o all_o under_o it_o that_o be_v not_o relieve_v by_o the_o grace_n of_o the_o gospel_n §_o 7._o wherefore_o though_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o the_o law_n write_v in_o stone_n and_o the_o book_n wherein_o the_o statute_n and_o judgement_n be_v contain_v be_v two_o distinct_a covenant_n and_o deliver_v at_o distinct_a season_n and_o in_o a_o distinct_a method_n the_o one_o with_o the_o other_o without_o a_o mediator_n the_o one_o dedicate_v with_o blood_n and_o sprinkle_v the_o other_o that_o we_o read_v of_o not_o so_o dedicate_v yet_o it_o be_v as_o clear_v from_o the_o premise_n that_o they_o be_v both_o of_o the_o same_o nature_n that_o be_v no_o other_o than_o a_o covenant_n of_o work_n and_o according_o both_a now_o repeal_v and_o that_o under_o the_o

wherewith_o the_o ceremonial_a covenant_n be_v dedicate_v be_v plain_o typical_a of_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n yet_o forasmuch_o as_o the_o apostle_n inform_v we_o it_o can_v not_o take_v away_o

the_o blood_n of_o such_o sacrifice_n can_v never_o be_v a_o covenant_n of_o grace_n proper_o so_o call_v which_o have_v christ_n alone_a for_o the_o mediator_n thereof_o and_o be_v confirm_v only_o by_o his_o blood_n and_o suffering_n for_o we_o but_o of_o work_n §_o 8._o beside_o if_o the_o ceremonial_a covenant_n which_o be_v thus_o dedicate_v by_o blood_n and_o sprinkle_v have_v be_v indeed_o a_o covenant_n of_o grace_n and_o confirm_v also_o by_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n why_o shall_v it_o be_v repeal_v as_o we_o know_v it_o be_v as_o well_o as_o the_o law_n write_v in_o stone_n which_o be_v say_v to_o be_v now_o do_v away_o be_v it_o possible_a that_o a_o covenant_n of_o grace_n confirm_v by_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n shall_v ever_o be_v repeal_v or_o why_o do_v god_n appoint_v the_o new_a covenant_n to_o succeed_v it_o which_o be_v real_o so_o confirm_v and_o which_o be_v also_o oppose_v thereunto_o as_o another_o covenant_n and_o of_o a_o quite_o different_a nature_n unless_o we_o shall_v say_v that_o there_o be_v two_o covenant_n of_o grace_n confirm_v by_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n the_o one_o whereof_o be_v of_o a_o faulty_a accay_a vanish_v nature_n as_o the_o first_o covenant_n be_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n himself_o describe_v which_o to_o affirm_v will_v be_v perfect_o to_o contradict_v the_o whole_a scope_n of_o the_o scripture_n §_o 9_o the_o blood_n of_o those_o sacrifice_n therefore_o wherewith_o the_o ceremonial_a covenant_n be_v dedicate_v together_o with_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o type_n that_o be_v then_o afford_v serve_v

offer_v year_n by_o year_n continual_o make_v the_o comer_n thereunto_o perfect_a for_o than_o they_o shall_v not_o have_v cease_v to_o be_v offer_v because_o that_o the_o worshipper_n once_o purge_v shall_v have_v have_v no_o more_o conscience_n of_o sin_n but_o in_o these_o sacrifice_n there_o be_v a_o remembrance_n again_o make_v of_o sin_n every_o year_n for_o it_o be_v not_o possible_a that_o the_o blood_n of_o bull_n and_o of_o goat_n shall_v take_v away_o sin_n all_o those_o sacrifice_n therefore_o can_v never_o amount_v to_o the_o value_n of_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n and_o according_o that_o covenant_n though_o dedicate_v by_o blood_n and_o sprinkle_v be_v no_o other_o than_o a_o covenant_n of_o work_n for_o as_o much_o as_o it_o be_v not_o confirm_v by_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n for_o if_o it_o have_v it_o will_v have_v make_v the_o comer_n thereunto_o perfect_a as_o pertain_v to_o the_o conscience_n which_o it_o do_v not_o §_o 10._o beside_o the_o apostle_n

13._o from_o whence_o it_o plain_o follow_v that_o christ_n be_v not_o the_o mediator_n of_o the_o first_o or_o old_a covenant_n unless_o we_o shall_v say_v that_o he_o be_v the_o mediator_n of_o two_o covenant_n a_o better_a and_o a_o worse_o and_o consequent_o it_o do_v as_o plain_o follow_v that_o the_o first_o covenant_n be_v no_o other_o than_o a_o covenant_n of_o work_n since_o neither_o

argument_n wherewith_o he_o labour_v to_o prove_v that_o the_o sinai_n covenant_n be_v not_o a_o covenant_n of_o work_n but_o of_o grace_n we_o shall_v next_o have_v consider_v mr._n francis_n roberts_n his_o argument_n also_o to_o the_o same_o purpose_n in_o his_o large_a discourse_n upon_o the_o covenant_n but_o that_o the_o most_o substantial_a part_n of_o they_o have_v be_v already_o dispatch_v in_o the_o answer_v we_o have_v return_v to_o mr._n sedgwick_n argument_n only_o we_o can_v but_o take_v notice_n of_o two_o grand_a absurdity_n which_o mr._n roberts_n and_o all_o other_o who_o assert_v that_o the_o sinai_n covenant_n be_v a_o covenant_n of_o faith_n do_v and_o can_v but_o unavoidable_o run_v into_o and_o fasten_v upon_o the_o scripture_n on_o that_o hypothesis_n the_o first_o be_v this_o whereas_o mr._n roberts_n pretend_v to_o answer_v several_a objection_n which_o be_v urge_v by_o way_n of_o opposition_n to_o his_o forementioned_a doctrine_n the_o four_o objection_n which_o he_o mention_n pag._n 769._o of_o his_o forementioned_a discourse_n run_v thus_o §_o 2._o object_n 4._o the_o sinai_n covenant_n be_v oppose_v by_o the_o prophet_n jeremy_n and_o

it_o be_v not_o a_o covenant_n of_o faith_n which_o be_v everlasting_a and_o can_v be_v break_v but_o a_o covenant_n of_o work_n which_o be_v but_o temporary_a and_o liable_a to_o be_v break_v this_o be_v indeed_o a_o substantial_a argument_n or_o objection_n against_o what_o he_o assert_n but_o how_o substantial_o answer_v may_v appear_v by_o what_o follow_v for_o thus_o he_o return_v thereunto_o these_o premise_n say_v he_o will_v not_o bear_v this_o conclusion_n for_o first_o though_o the_o sinai_n covenant_n make_v with_o israel_n when_o god_n bring_v they_o out_o of_o the_o land_n of_o

or_o shall_v we_o make_v the_o new-covenant_n and_o the_o covenant_n of_o faith_n opposite_a and_o contradistinct_a the_o one_o from_o the_o other_o as_o mr._n robert_n plain_o do_v when_o he_o say_v
