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

we_o heb._n 7.22_o by_o this_o key_n of_o faith_n we_o fetch_v daily_o new_a grace_n out_o of_o his_o treasury_n of_o grace_n to_o sanctify_v we_o more_o and_o more_o till_o at_o last_o we_o have_v our_o full_a measure_n according_a to_o the_o gift_n of_o christ_n thus_o i_o have_v show_v with_o who_o the_o two_o covenant_n be_v make_v the_o covenant_n of_o work_n with_o adam_n a_o mere_a man_n but_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n with_o jesus_n christ_n both_o god_n and_o man_n and_o also_o the_o time_n when_o they_o be_v make_v one_o with_o adam_n as_o soon_o as_o create_v but_o the_o other_o with_o jesus_n christ_n from_o all_o eternity_n also_o i_o have_v show_v how_o all_o man_n enter_v into_o these_o two_o covenant_n first_o all_o man_n enter_v into_o adam_n covenant_n by_o nature_n but_o the_o elect_a only_o enter_v into_o christ_n covenant_n by_o grace_n also_o i_o have_v show_v how_o that_o adam_n by_o his_o breach_n of_o covenant_n defile_v all_o his_o posterity_n and_o also_o bring_v guilt_n upon_o they_o for_o it_o but_o jesus_n christ_n sanctify_v by_o the_o holiness_n of_o his_o nature_n all_o in_o his_o covenant_n and_o acquit_v they_o and_o justify_v they_o from_o all_o their_o guilt_n by_o his_o active_a and_o passive_a obedience_n fulfil_v the_o covenant_n of_o work_n perfect_o now_o if_o all_o the_o whole_a race_n of_o mankind_n be_v contain_v in_o one_o of_o these_o two_o covenant_n than_o it_o must_v needs_o follow_v that_o god_n never_o make_v any_o other_o but_o these_o two_o touch_v the_o eternal_a estate_n of_o mankind_n but_o i_o have_v prove_v that_o all_o man_n by_o nature_n enter_v into_o adam_n covenant_n save_v jesus_n christ_n that_o do_v not_o come_v into_o the_o world_n by_o the_o ordinary_a course_n of_o nature_n and_o so_o they_o all_o continue_v till_o jesus_n christ_n free_v they_o from_o that_o covenant_n of_o work_n and_o so_o state_n they_o in_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n therefore_o god_n never_o make_v any_o other_o covenant_n touch_v the_o eternal_a estate_n of_o mankind_n but_o these_o two_o now_o some_o will_v object_v and_o say_v god_n make_v a_o covenant_n with_o abraham_n gen._n 17._o and_o another_o with_o israel_n at_o their_o return_n out_o of_o egypt_n jer._n 11.3_o 4._o deut._n 4.13_o and_o a_o three_o or_o new_a covenant_n at_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n the_o testator_n heb._n 8.8.10_o and_o some_o deny_v the_o covenant_n of_o work_n with_o adam_n in_o the_o time_n of_o his_o creation_n and_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n with_o jesus_n christ_n make_v from_o all_o eternity_n affirm_v there_o be_v no_o covenant_n make_v with_o man_n before_o israel_n return_n from_o egypt_n and_o this_o they_o call_v the_o covenant_n of_o work_n and_o no_o covenant_n of_o grace_n make_v before_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n and_o this_o they_o call_v the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n now_o when_o i_o have_v answer_v these_o objection_n i_o hope_v i_o shall_v give_v some_o satisfaction_n to_o those_o that_o be_v trouble_v with_o so_o many_o several_a opinion_n touch_v the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n and_o the_o covenant_n of_o work_n make_v with_o the_o two_o adam_n represent_v all_o mankind_n for_o answer_v to_o the_o first_o objection_n if_o god_n make_v a_o covenant_n with_o abraham_n and_o that_o also_o a_o covenant_n of_o grace_n than_o it_o will_v follow_v that_o god_n make_v two_o covenant_n of_o grace_n and_o then_o we_o must_v have_v two_o redeemer_n and_o if_o one_o of_o they_o be_v make_v to_o abraham_n this_o be_v to_o make_v he_o who_o say_v he_o be_v but_o dust_n and_o ash_n gen._n 18._o to_o be_v one_o of_o those_o redeemer_n or_o saviour_n who_o be_v but_o a_o poor_a creature_n himself_o but_o they_o will_v say_v to_o abraham_n and_o christ_n be_v the_o promise_v make_v gal._n 3.16_o i_o answer_v as_o one_o king_n make_v a_o league_n or_o covenant_n with_o another_o by_o a_o ambassador_n so_o abraham_n represent_v christ_n for_o the_o promise_n of_o eternal_a life_n be_v make_v before_o the_o world_n begin_v titus_n 12._o therefore_o before_o abraham_n have_v his_o be_v or_o it_o may_v be_v answer_v thus_o abraham_n receive_v the_o sign_n or_o token_n of_o this_o covenant_n gen._n 17.10_o 11._o when_o as_o the_o covenant_n itself_o be_v make_v with_o christ_n from_o all_o eternity_n and_o those_o elect_v that_o fall_n in_o every_o age_n of_o the_o world_n since_o adam_n fall_n god_n have_v be_v in_o christ_n not_o in_o abraham_n reconcile_a they_o to_o himself_o 2_o cor._n 5.19_o 20._o and_o if_o abraham_n shall_v stand_v for_o all_o the_o elect_n to_o receive_v a_o covenant_n for_o they_o than_o he_o shall_v stand_v for_o they_o with_o a_o image_n also_o without_o sin_n to_o answer_v for_o their_o lose_a image_n by_o adam_n but_o this_o he_o can_v not_o do_v because_o he_o be_v desile_v with_o sin_n as_o other_o man_n than_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n be_v not_o make_v with_o he_o but_o with_o christ_n who_o take_v upon_o he_o our_o nature_n and_o our_o infirmity_n and_o yet_o without_o sin_n heb._n 4.15_o so_o then_o abraham_n receive_v circumcision_n the_o token_n of_o the_o covenant_n but_o himself_o be_v save_v by_o his_o faith_n in_o christ_n for_o say_v christ_n abraham_n see_v my_o day_n and_o be_v glad_a john_n 8.56_o it_o be_v christ_n that_o be_v give_v for_o a_o covenant_n

receive_v the_o sign_n of_o circumcision_n rom._n 4.11_o and_o abraham_n do_v but_o receive_v a_o further_a confirmation_n of_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n make_v with_o christ_n before_o the_o world_n be_v by_o the_o sign_n of_o circumcision_n when_o god_n take_v in_o that_o nation_n into_o the_o visible_a church_n so_o much_o for_o answer_v to_o this_o objection_n object_n 2._o some_o object_n and_o say_v the_o law_n at_o mount_n sinai_n be_v a_o covenant_n of_o grace_n and_o other_o say_v it_o be_v a_o covenant_n of_o work_n but_o i_o shall_v prove_v that_o it_o be_v neither_o but_o only_o give_v to_o those_o that_o be_v in_o covenant_n as_o a_o rule_n of_o obedience_n so_o run_v the_o preface_n i_o be_o the_o lord_n thy_o god_n that_o be_v by_o the_o covenant_n of_o

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

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

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

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

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

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
