and_o on_o adam_n part_n to_o return_v to_o god_n perfect_a obedience_n this_o do_v adam_n receive_v power_n and_o strength_n to_o perform_v but_o he_o abuse_v this_o power_n and_o oppose_v it_o

to_o make_v a_o new_a covenant_n the_o covenant_n of_o faith_n in_o which_o there_o be_v two_o bond_n one_o between_o god_n and_o christ_n and_o another_o betwixt_o christ_n and_o we_o on_o god_n side_n felicity_n on_o christ_n part_n satisfaction_n to_o god_n for_o we_o on_o our_o side_n faith_n unfeigned_a with_o new_a obedience_n but_o this_o not_o by_o our_o own_o strength_n but_o by_o the_o power_n of_o christ_n and_o his_o spirit_n for_o as_o man_n fall_v and_o by_o his_o fall_n lose_v all_o that_o he_o have_v so_o if_o he_o will_v recover_v that_o which_o be_v lose_v he_o must_v make_v satisfaction_n for_o it_o but_o this_o he_o can_v not_o now_o do_v and_o therefore_o christ_n undertake_v it_o for_o he_o suffer_v for_o he_o and_o remove_v the_o penalty_n satisfy_v the_o forfeiture_n and_o thereby_o restore_v to_o man_n all_o that_o he_o have_v lose_v now_o christ_n have_v a_o double_a title_n to_o heaven_n one_o of_o inheritance_n and_o the_o other_o of_o purchase_n the_o right_a of_o inheritance_n he_o have_v by_o nature_n in_o that_o he_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n which_o he_o claim_v to_o himself_o the_o other_o he_o give_v to_o they_o that_o lie_v hold_v

own_o strength_n but_o in_o christo_n by_o the_o power_n of_o christ._n and_o the_o reason_n of_o this_o second_o covenant_n be_v that_o now_o adam_n have_v lose_v his_o own_o strength_n by_o breach_n of_o the_o first_o all_o power_n and_o strength_n shall_v be_v now_o from_o god_n in_o christ_n and_o all_o the_o glory_n be_v give_v to_o he_o for_o if_o adam_n have_v stand_v by_o his_o own_o

it_o when_o he_o may_v but_o keep_v his_o stand_n but_o that_o god_n may_v have_v all_o the_o glory_n he_o suffer_v the_o first_o covenant_n to_o be_v break_v and_o permit_v man_n to_o fall_v for_o which_o fall_n he_o be_v to_o make_v satisfaction_n which_o he_o can_v not_o do_v but_o by_o christ_n nor_o perform_v new_a obedience_n but_o by_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n prevent_v we_o and_o make_v
