heart_n of_o flesh_n grace_n grace_n this_o covenant_n th●_n be_v a_o covenant_n of_o grace_n it_o be_v a_o gracious_a cou●nant_n 2._o as_o it_o be_v a_o gracious_a covenant_n so_o it_o be_v a_o fr●_n and_o inconditionate_n covenant_n free_v in_o oppositi●●_n to_o all_o condition_n to_o be_v perform_v by_o we_o pray_v do_v not_o mistake_v i_o i_o do_v not_o say_v there_o be_v no_o condition_n in_o the_o new_a covenant_n but_o the_o condition_n be_v perform_v by_o christ_n our_o second_o adam_n nor_o do_v i_o say_v that_o faith_n obedience_n and_o repentance_n be_v not_o require_v but_o i_o say_v faith_n obedience_n and_o repentance_n be_v require_v in_o the_o new_a covenant_n as_o duty_n but_o not_o as_o condition_n this_o i_o say_v then_o it_o be_v a_o free_a covenant_n in_o opposition_n to_o all_o condition_n to_o be_v perform_v by_o we_o for_o when_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n be_v mention_v in_o scripture_n where_o do_v you_o find_v any_o condition_n annex_v to_o any_o thing_n that_o be_v there_o promise_v say_v the_o lord_n i_o will_v remember_v your_o sin_n no_o more_o upon_o what_o condition_n none_o mention_v i_o will_v write_v my_o law_n in_o your_o

ever_o find_v the_o covenant_n mention_v with_o a_o condition_n and_o plain_o thus_o if_o there_o be_v a_o condition_n the_o condition_n must_v be_v a_o distinct_a thing_n from_o the_o thing_n promise_v if_o i_o promise_v to_o go_v a_o journey_n with_o a_o man_n upon_o condition_n he_o shall_v bear_v my_o charge_n his_o bear_v my_o charge_n and_o my_o go_v the_o journey_n be_v distinct_a thing_n now_o what_o condition_n then_o can_v there_o be_v what_o faith_n repentance_n or_o obedience_n why_o these_o be_v all_o promise_v in_o the_o covenant_n therefore_o they_o can_v be_v the_o condition_n for_o the_o thing_n promise_v in_o the_o covenant_n and_o the_o condition_n that_o we_o be_v to_o perform_v must_v be_v distinct_a i_o say_v if_o there_o be_v a_o condition_n it_o must_v be_v distinct_a from_o the_o thing_n promise_v but_o there_o be_v nothing_o that_o we_o can_v perform_v but_o be_v promise_v in_o the_o covenant_n therefore_o there_o can_v be_v no_o condition_n the_o prophet_n isaiah_n tell_v we_o that_o this_o covenant_n be_v after_o the_o nature_n of_o that_o covenant_n that_o god_n make_v with_o noah_n that_o the_o world_n shall_v be_v drown_v no_o more_o and_o that_o i●_n absolute_a and_o upon_o no_o condition_n junius_n think_v that_o upon_o this_o account_n this_o covenant_n of_o grace_n i●_n call_v a_o testament_n for_o say_v he_o a_o testament_n be_v without_o condition_n a_o man_n make_v his_o last_o will_n and_o testament_n and_o though_o now_o and_o then_o a_o man_n may_v hang_v a_o condition_n upon_o a_o rebellious_a child_n yet_o ordinary_o a_o man_n then_o give_v and_o he_o give_v free_o without_o all_o condition_n and_o so_o this_o covenant_n be_v call_v a_o testament_n why_o because_o no_o condition_n be_v to_o be_v perform_v by_o we_o that_o be_v the_o second_o thing_n it_o be_v a_o free_a covenant_n in_o opposition_n to_o all_o condition_n to_o be_v perform_v by_o ourselves_o 3._o as_o it_o be_v a_o free_a covenant_n in_o opposition_n to_o al●_n condition_n to_o be_v perform_v by_o we_o so_o it_o be_v a_o everlasting_a covenant_n a_o covenant_n of_o salt_n that_o canno●_n be_v break_v which_o my_o covenant_n they_o break_v say_v god_n speak_v of_o the_o former_a covenant_n and_o say_v he_o in_o that_o place_n of_o zech._n i_o take_v my_o staff_n of_o beauty_n the_o covenant_n and_o break_v it_o god_n break_v it_o that_o be_v the_o former_a covenant_n but_o now_o this_o covenant_n of_o grace_n be_v a_o everlasting_a covenant_n order_v in_o all_o thing_n and_o sure_a a_o everlasting_a covenant_n that_o can_v be_v break_v and_o thus_o you_o see_v what_o kind_n of_o covenant_n it_o be_v it_o be_v a_o covenant_n of_o grace_n in_o opposition_n to_o all_o work_n and_o worth_a in_o we_o a_o free_a

covenant_n of_o grace_n be_v not_o make_v or_o strike_v with_o all_o the_o particular_a man_n in_o the_o world_n a_o new_a covenant_n will_v i_o make_v with_o the_o house_n of_o israel_n not_o with_o all_o the_o particular_a man_n in_o the_o world_n if_o this_o new_a covenant_n of_o grace_n be_v make_v with_o all_o the_o particular_a man_n in_o the_o world_n than_o all_o the_o particular_a man_n in_o the_o world_n shall_v have_v the_o law_n of_o god_n write_v in_o their_o heart_n and_o shall_v all_o know_v god_n and_o all_o have_v their_o sin_n pardon_v for_o so_o say_v the_o covenant_n by_o a_o absolute_a promise_n which_o must_v be_v fulfil_v and_o upon_o this_o account_n it_o follow_v that_o christ_n do_v not_o die_v for_o every_o particular_a man_n in_o the_o world_n for_o christ_n be_v the_o mediator_n of_o the_o new_a covenant_n therefore_o if_o the_o new_a covenant_n be_v not_o make_v with_o every_o particular_a man_n christ_n do_v not_o die_v for_o every_o particular_a man_n but_o the_o new_a covenant_n be_v not_o make_v with_o all_o the_o particular_a man_n in_o the_o world_n as_o you_o have_v hear_v 2._o as_o this_o new_a covenant_n be_v not_o make_v with_o all_o the_o particular_a man_n in_o the_o world_n so_o neither_o be_v it_o make_v with_o all_o that_o live_v under_o the_o gospel_n though_o ishmael_n live_v in_o abraham_n house_n and_o so_o the_o skirt_n of_o the_o covenant_n may_v be_v throw_v over_o he_o yet_o in_o isaac_n shall_v thy_o seed_n be_v call_v say_v god_n a_o man_n may_v be_v in_o a_o church_n yet_o not_o of_o the_o church_n as_o a_o man_n may_v be_v in_o a_o house_n and_o yet_o not_o of_o the_o house_n this_o covenant_n be_v not_o make_v with_o all_o particular_a man_n that_o live_v under_o the_o gospel_n but_o who_o be_v it_o strike_v with_o plain_o thus_o if_o the_o law_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v write_v in_o your_o heart_n so_o that_o it_o be_v natural_a for_o you_o to_o do_v the_o work_n of_o the_o gospel_n as_o it_o be_v

if_o you_o be_v teach_v of_o god_n have_v a_o holy_a instinct_n unto_o what_o be_v good_a then_o be_v you_o in_o covenant_n wit●_n god_n for_o thus_o run_v the_o covenant_n you_o shall_v a●_n know_v
