A49184	Remarks on the R.

old_a and_o so_o can_v not_o then_o belong_v to_o the_o old_a law_n or_o covenant_n of_o work_n therefore_o since_o the_o gospel-covenant_n or_o law_n of_o grace_n have_v now_o some_o positive_a precept_n different_a from_o the_o precept_n of_o the_o first_o old_a covenant_n and_o law_n of_o work_n it_o follow_v necessary_o that_o the_o obedience_n require_v by_o the_o precept_n of_o the_o gospel_n must_v be_v partly_o also_o different_a from_o the_o obedience_n require_v by_o the_o first_o covenant_n and_o old_a law_n of_o work_n but_o now_o if_o we_o consider_v the_o obedience_n require_v by_o the_o say_v two_o covenant_n as_o the_o two_o condition_n of_o their_o respective_a covenant_n so_o they_o differ_v formal_o in_o kind_a and_o not_o mere_o in_o degree_n for_o they_o proceed_v from_o different_a principle_n they_o have_v different_a formal_a motive_n and_o serve_v to_o different_a end_n and_o purpose_n the_o most_o perfect_a legal_a obedience_n require_v as_o the_o condition_n of_o the_o first_o covenant_n and_o law_n of_o work_n be_v the_o very_a righteousness_n by_o and_o for_o which_o man_n be_v to_o have_v be_v justify_v and_o to_o have_v live_v by_o that_o covenant_n if_o he_o have_v keep_v it_o but_o now_o the_o sincere_a evangelical_n obedience_n require_v as_o a_o condition_n on_o our_o part_n of_o the_o new_a covenant_n promise_v of_o glorification_n and_o consummate_v salvation_n be_v not_o any_o the_o least_o part_n of_o that_o meritorious_a righteousness_n for_o which_o alone_o we_o obtain_v possession_n of_o eternal_a glory_n and_o consummate_v salvation_n and_o as_o for_o the_o promise_n themselves_o of_o the_o two_o covenant_n they_o also_o be_v specifical_o different_a because_o they_o have_v different_a impulsive_a and_o move_a cause_n of_o their_o first_o make_v and_o be_v perform_v for_o different_a and_o formal_a fundamental_a reason_n in_o the_o covenant_n of_o work_n it_o be_v indeed_o of_o god_n free_a goodness_n and_o gracious_a condescension_n that_o he_o promise_v a_o reward_n to_o our_o first_o parent_n on_o condition_n of_o perfect_a obedience_n but_o in_o the_o second_o and_o new_a covenant_n of_o grace_n it_o be_v of_o his_o rich_a mercy_n in_o christ_n that_o he_o promise_v we_o eternal_a life_n and_o glory_n on_o condition_n of_o our_o sincere_a evangelical_n obedience_n and_o perseverance_n in_o faith_n and_o holiness_n to_o the_o end_n so_o that_o they_o have_v different_a impulsive_a cause_n of_o their_o first_o make_v and_o be_v so_o make_v they_o be_v at_o last_o perform_v for_o different_a formal_a motive_n and_o reason_n if_o the_o first_o covenant_n of_o work_n have_v be_v keep_v the_o promise_n of_o ●●●e_a will_v have_v be_v perform_v and_o make_v good_a to_o man_n for_o his_o own_o personal_a obedience_n as_o his_o righteousness_n his_o only_a righteousness_n in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n but_o now_o the_o gospel_n or_o new_a covenant-promise_a of_o eternal_a life_n and_o glory_n be_v perform_v and_o make_v good_a to_o the_o people_n of_o god_n not_o for_o their_o own_o personal_a sincere_a obedience_n but_o only_o for_o the_o most_o perfect_a righteousness_n of_o christ_n impute_v to_o they_o so_o that_o as_o the_o impulsive_a cause_n of_o make_v in_o like_a manner_n the_o formal_a motive_n and_o fundamental_a reason_n of_o perform_v the_o say_v several_a promise_n of_o the_o two_o covenant_n do_v great_o differ_v and_o therefore_o the_o promise_n themselves_o differ_v in_o kind_n now_o it_o be_v in_o christ_n that_o all_o the_o

be_v a_o covenant_n of_o work_n for_o i_o have_v show_v that_o the_o two_o covenant_n differ_v specifical_o and_o in_o kind_n and_o that_o though_o both_o require_v obedience_n and_o work_n yet_o they_o be_v much_o different_a from_o one_o another_o and_o in_o order_n to_o far_o different_a end_n and_o purpose_n the_o work_v require_v by_o the_o first_o and_o old_a covenant_n be_v legal_a work_n that_o be_v to_o be_v the_o only_a righteousness_n by_o and_o for_o which_o man_n be_v to_o be_v justify_v and_o to_o live_v but_o the_o work_v require_v by_o the_o second_o new_a and_o
