is declared to be righteous and just and the justifier of all that believe in him Rom. 8. 25 26. so that as by the offence of one many were made sinners even so by the righteousnesse of Christ shall many be made righteous Rom. 5. 19. And for this work of his God hath highly exalted him and hath made him Heir of all things Heb. 1. 2. And thus you see that Christ hath done the work of the first Covenant and so is the end thereof Thirdly Christ takes away the first by establishing the second for finding fault with the first he saith Behold the dayes come saith the Lord that I will make or establish a new Covenant and so he takes away the first that he may establish the second Heb. 10. 9. and so Christ is become a Minister of a better Covenant established upon better promises Heb. 8. 6. For if the first had been found faultlesse there had been no place found for the second but finding fault with the first he saith Behold the dayes come saith the Lord that I will make a new Covenant and in that he saith a new Covenant he hath made the first old and that which is old is ready to vanish away Heb. 8. 7. 8. 13. And thus you see the first was but a typicall Covenant and was but to continue untill a better came which is a better Covenant a better way then the former was Aud thus I have spoken a word or two of the first Covenant and now I shall speak a word or two of the second And first I shall shew you how the Covenant of grace is established and that is these three waies First by promise for no sooner there was a wound by the first Covenant but there was a promise of healing in the second saying the seed of the Woman shall break the Serpents head as you may see Gen. 3. 15. and this was also promised to Noah Gen 6. 18. and more fully manifested to Abraham in many promises made unto him at divers sundry times Gen. 12. 3. and the 17. 7. and a more plainer promise was made to Moses as you may see Deut. 18. 18. where the Lord sheweth that he would send the great Prophet or Angell of his Covenant and would put his words into his mouth that he might speak all that the Father should command him ver 18. 19. And thus yon see all along how the Covenant was established by the promise of the Father Secondly The Covenant was established by prophecy as you may see Isa 42. 6. ch 49 6. as also in Jer. 31. 31. And it shall come to passe in the last daies that I will make a new Covenant with the House of Israel and with the house of Judah not according to the Covenant I made with their Fathers in the day that I tooke them by the hand to bring them out of Egypt which Covenant they brake though I was a husband unto them saith the Lord but this shall be the Covenant that I will make with them saith the Lord And thus you see that it was established by Prophecy Thirdly It was established by the bloud of the Testatour for a covenant is ratified by bloud as also the first covenant was for when Moses had spoken every precept to all the people according to the Law he took the bloud of calves and of goats and sprinkled both the book and the people saying This is the bloud of the covenant which God hath enjoyned unto you for without bloud there is no remission Heb 9. 19. 20. 22. and therefore the second covenant was established and ratified with bloud even by the bloud of the Son of God Heb. 9. 14. For where a covenant is there must also be of necessity the death of the Testator ver 16. and therefore the bloud of Christ is called the bloud of the covenant Heb. 10. 29. chap. 12. 24. chap. 13. 20. And thus the Covenant is ratified and confirmed by the bloud of Christ which is the bloud of the everlasting covenant And thus I have shewed you in a word or two how the Covenant was established and now I shall speak a word or two of the Covenant it selfe now the essence or being of the Covenant is God who out of his 〈◊〉 love and unexpressible mercy and tender compassion was pleased to give a being to the Covenant to manifest to all men that he was not in anger but in love that though his anger lay in the Covenant of the flesh yet his love lay in the Covenant of the spirit for he seemed to shew anger in the type and shadow but his great love doth appear in the substance and truth in the Covenant of grace to manifest his great love to all men and thus much for the being of the Covenant and now for the matter of it Now the matter of the Covenant is the mind of God consisting of promises of love and mercy unto all men as you may see Luke 2. 10. 14. upon condition of obedience unto the Lawes and Ordinances of that Covenant proceeding from the minde of God from whence all the teaching of the Gospell and ordinances thereof do proceed as you see Deut. 18. 17 18. For the Son doth nothing of himselfe but what he hath received of the Father in being taught of the Father what to teach John 8. 20. 29. And so being to toach the mind of the Father both for promises and commands to the world from the minde of God and thus much for the matter of the Covenant consisting of Promises and Ordinances proceeding from the minde of the Father and now of the matter it selfe Now the Covenant of grace is called a testament or will being indeed the will of the Father revealed to the Son and by the Son revealed to the world to manifest the Fathers love unto the sonnes and daughters of men and testified to the world that what he declared was the minde of God and sealed it with his bloud and so his bloud is called the bloud of God or the bloud of the testament or will Heb. 10. 19. chap. 13. 20. Secondly It is called a new Covenant because it makes the first old and takes away the old bondage of the first that there might be Gospel-freedome in the second that so we may see how far the one doth exceed the other Thirdly It is called a new Covenant because it doth not wax old as the other did but is to continue for ever and is an everlasting Covenant which is to continue until the consummation of all things Mat. 28. Fourthly It is called a new Covenant because it is new in every age and to every generation it is a new covenant bringing new covenants in every age which are green and ●●urishing afresh in all generations to manifest the glory of the Gospell beyond the glory of the first the glory of the one decreasing and the glory of the other growng and increasing and thus much of the
