A79028	Two solemne covenants made between God and man: viz. [brace] the covenant of workes, and the covenant of grace. [brace] Clearly laid open, distinguished, and vindicated from many dangerous opinions; the right knowledge of which [sic] will be very profitable to all those that have escaped the first, and are confirmed in the second at the Sacrament. January 15. 1646. Imprimatur. John Downame.	Calamy, Edmund, 1600-1666.	1647 (1647)	Wing C268; Thomason E373_6; ESTC R201327	30,224	34

clear_a manifestation_n of_o christ_n may_v remain_v by_o preach_v the_o gospel_n but_o if_o he_o mean_v that_o the_o moral_a law_n that_o be_v give_v with_o blackness_n and_o darkness_n as_o he_o say_v heb._n 12.18_o this_o i_o deny_v for_o it_o be_v a_o rule_n of_o saint_n and_o angel_n eternal_o psal_n 109.80.103.20_o so_o much_o in_o answer_n to_o his_o difference_n now_o let_v we_o see_v what_o use_v he_o make_v of_o these_o difference_n in_o the_o use_n of_o his_o first_o difference_n he_o say_v if_o the_o first_o covenant_n be_v make_v when_o israel_n return_v out_o of_o egypt_n than_o all_o actual_a sin_n be_v not_o against_o the_o first_o covenant_n as_o some_o think_v for_o than_o it_o shall_v be_v make_v with_o all_o nation_n which_o he_o deny_v from_o that_o text_n psal_n 147.19_o 20._o and_o to_o be_v make_v before_o it_o be_v and_o to_o be_v still_o in_o be_v whereas_o he_o say_v it_o be_v do_v away_o i_o answer_v the_o first_o covenant_n be_v that_o of_o work_n be_v make_v with_o the_o whole_a race_n of_o mankind_n in_o adam_n and_o while_o he_o stand_v all_o stand_v but_o when_o he_o fall_v all_o the_o world_n become_v guilty_a before_o god_n rom._n 3.19_o for_o in_o adam_n all_o dye_n ver_fw-la 15.22_o sin_n and_o death_n pass_v upon_o all_o by_o his_o sin_n rom._n 5.12_o than_o the_o first_o covenant_n be_v make_v before_o israel_n go_v out_o of_o egypt_n and_o all_o mankind_n be_v bear_v under_o it_o and_o all_o actual_a sin_n be_v against_o it_o only_o when_o it_o be_v give_v as_o a_o rule_n of_o life_n in_o the_o hand_n of_o a_o mediator_n it_o do_v more_o near_o concern_v they_o and_o not_o to_o other_o nation_n till_o they_o have_v it_o all_o in_o writing_n as_o israel_v have_v which_o may_v answer_v that_o text_n psal_n 147.19.20_o but_o then_o he_o deny_v that_o all_o sin_n be_v do_v away_o by_o christ_n and_o yet_o by_o and_o by_o he_o say_v all_o those_o sacrifice_n be_v not_o sufficient_a to_o do_v it_o they_o must_v look_v beyond_o all_o those_o thing_n to_o christ_n and_o yet_o in_o his_o sixth_o difference_n he_o say_v the_o blood_n of_o calf_n and_o goat_n be_v the_o blood_n of_o the_o covenant_n then_o he_o say_v some_o hold_n that_o unbelief_n be_v the_o only_a sin_n against_o the_o new_a covenant_n and_o he_o have_v nothing_o to_o the_o contrary_a therefore_o i_o pass_v on_o to_o the_o use_n of_o his_o second_o difference_n where_o he_o say_v if_o the_o first_o covenant_n be_v make_v with_o israel_n after_o the_o flesh_n and_o the_o second_o with_o israel_n after_o the_o spirit_n then_o to_o affirm_v that_o infant_n be_v holy_a by_o their_o parent_n believe_v be_v to_o hold_v forth_o still_o a_o covenant_n in_o the_o flesh_n which_o he_o understand_v be_v to_o deny_v christ_n to_o be_v come_v in_o the_o flesh_n i_o answer_v he_o that_o deny_v the_o doctrine_n of_o christ_n apostle_n deny_v christ_n but_o he_o deny_v the_o doctrine_n of_o paul_n who_o say_v if_o but_o one_o of_o the_o parent_n be_v a_o believer_n the_o child_n be_v holy_a 1_o cor._n 7.14_o then_o in_o all_o wise_a man_n judgement_n james_n pope_n deny_v christ_n to_o be_v come_v in_o the_o flesh_n to_o this_o he_o say_v we_o be_v to_o mind_v the_o scope_n of_o the_o place_n which_o be_v to_o answer_v a_o doubt_n to_o wit_n whether_o a_o believe_a husband_n may_v dwell_v with_o a_o unbelieve_a wife_n his_o answer_n be_v they_o may_v for_o else_o the_o child_n be_v unclean_a as_o under_o the_o first_o covenant_n but_o see_v how_o this_o man_n contradict_v himself_o now_o he_o say_v the_o heathen_n be_v under_o the_o first_o covenant_n which_o lie_v deny_v before_o from_o that_o text_n psal_n 147.19_o 20._o then_o he_o seem_v to_o grant_v it_o a_o thing_n out_o of_o question_n that_o if_o believer_n child_n dwell_v with_o their_o parent_n than_o they_o be_v holy_a but_o if_o the_o anabaptist_n grant_v this_o why_o will_v they_o not_o baptize_v those_o that_o dwell_v with_o their_o believe_a parent_n but_o the_o truth_n be_v this_o when_o the_o husband_n be_v convert_v to_o the_o christian_a faith_n and_o not_o the_o wife_n or_o the_o wife_n and_o not_o the_o husband_n and_o so_o baptize_v it_o seem_v this_o be_v their_o great_a question_n shall_v my_o child_n be_v baptize_v the_o answer_n be_v secret_o employ_v they_o may_v for_o though_o thy_o husband_n or_o thy_o wife_n be_v a_o infidel_n yet_o be_v make_v one_o flesh_n by_o marriage_n with_o a_o christian_a they_o be_v sanctify_v to_o a_o holy_a use_n &_o so_o the_o child_n be_v holy_a by_o this_o mean_n they_o be_v and_o aught_o to_o be_v baptize_v now_o this_o be_v not_o a_o real_a holiness_n but_o only_o set_v a_o part_n as_o the_o element_n from_o a_o common_a to_o a_o holy_a use_n to_o enjoy_v the_o ordinance_n of_o the_o visible_a church_n and_o ismaels_n posterity_n be_v out_o of_o the_o church_n be_v the_o seed_n of_o the_o flesh_n gal._n 4.29_o and_o those_o in_o the_o visible_a church_n may_v be_v thus_o call_v holy_a that_o be_v take_v from_o a_o common_a to_o a_o holy_a use_n as_o member_n of_o the_o visible_a church_n although_o they_o have_v not_o real_a holiness_n and_o by_o virtue_n of_o this_o holiness_n their_o child_n have_v a_o right_n to_o the_o visible_a ordinance_n in_o the_o public_a worship_n of_o the_o christian_a church_n than_o he_o run_v into_o a_o large_a degression_n but_o i_o do_v not_o listen_v to_o follow_v he_o than_o he_o say_v to_o hold_v a_o nation_n as_o england_n scotland_n germany_n etc._n etc._n to_o be_v the_o church_n of_o god_n in_o covenant_n deny_v christ_n to_o be_v come_v in_o the_o flesh_n and_o so_o be_v antichristian_a but_o i_o say_v again_o to_o deny_v christ_n to_o be_v come_v in_o the_o flesh_n be_v judaisme_n but_o not_o antichristianisme_n again_o if_o christ_n send_v out_o his_o apostle_n to_o teach_v and_o baptize_v or_o disciple_v whole_a nation_n than_o he_o that_o oppose_v this_o be_v antichrist_n for_o he_o oppose_v all_o that_o be_v call_v god_n 2_o thes_n 2.4_o but_o here_o this_o man_n oppose_v christ_n in_o his_o work_n to_o disciple_v and_o bring_v in_o nation_n to_o the_o christian_a church_n ergo_fw-la he_o be_v antichrist_n the_o major_a proposition_n none_o will_v deny_v and_o the_o minor_a be_v prove_v in_o deny_v any_o nation_n as_o england_n and_o scotland_n who_o have_v receive_v the_o christian_n faith_n to_o be_v the_o church_n of_o god_n but_o he_o say_v the_o jew_n be_v under_o the_o old_a covenant_n be_v but_o one_o church_n and_o when_o the_o christian_a church_n be_v set_v up_o there_o be_v many_o church_n even_o in_o judea_n 1_o thes_n 2.14_o i_o answer_v the_o several_a congregation_n in_o israel_n before_o christ_n be_v call_v congregation_n but_o be_v put_v together_o it_o be_v call_v a_o congregation_n for_o both_o these_o psal_n 74.2.4_o and_o so_o in_o the_o new_a testament_n church_n make_v a_o church_n rev._n 2.1.7_o then_o if_o he_o oppose_v a_o national_a church_n be_v rather_o antichristian_a then_o they_o which_o plead_v for_o it_o against_o faction_n the_o use_n of_o this_o 3._o difference_n if_o the_o condition_n of_o the_o first_o covenant_n be_v do_v this_o and_o live_v than_o this_o show_v we_o the_o reason_n why_o god_n deal_v so_o sharp_o with_o they_o in_o outward_a thing_n when_o they_o sin_v against_o he_o because_o it_o be_v according_a to_o the_o condition_n of_o his_o covenant_n with_o they_o i_o answer_v those_o that_o be_v still_o under_o adam_n covenant_n be_v still_o liable_a to_o all_o kind_n of_o punishment_n whether_o jew_n or_o christian_n yet_o it_o will_v not_o follow_v that_o all_o who_o be_v punish_v in_o outward_a thing_n be_v still_o under_o that_o covenant_n of_o work_n although_o they_o may_v and_o be_v still_o under_o the_o law_n give_v at_o mount_n sinai_n yet_o not_o as_o a_o covenant_n but_o as_o a_o rule_n of_o life_n and_o for_o sin_n against_o it_o may_v be_v punish_v in_o outward_a thing_n in_o love_n to_o reclaim_v they_o from_o their_o sin_n then_o he_o say_v the_o people_n of_o the_o new_a covenant_n live_v to_o do_v and_o not_o do_v to_o live_v they_o do_v not_o act_v to_o be_v keep_v in_o god_n favour_n that_o so_o they_o may_v acknowledge_v to_o the_o praise_n of_o god_n that_o all_o be_v of_o grace_n election_n rom._n 11.5_o 6._o and_o christ_n die_v heb._n 2.9_o and_o justify_v titus_n 3.7_o to_o believe_v act_v 18.27_o and_o hope_v 2_o thes_n 2.16_o and_o save_v ephe._n 2.8.9_o all_o of_o grace_n to_o the_o praise_n of_o the_o glory_n of_o his_o grace_n
