people_n may_v hear_v both_o with_o profit_n and_o without_o offence_n as_o preach_v no_o other_o doctrine_n in_o regard_n to_o practice_n however_o they_o may_v differ_v in_o the_o explication_n but_o what_o be_v consonant_n or_o may_v be_v make_v consonant_n to_o one_o another_o there_o be_v some_o i_o know_v apt_a to_o think_v the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n to_o be_v without_o condition_n upon_o the_o account_n they_o say_v it_o be_v not_o make_v with_o man_n because_o he_o can_v promise_v of_o himself_o to_o perform_v nothing_o but_o with_o christ_n in_o behalf_n of_o the_o elect_n as_o their_o head_n who_o have_v therefore_o undertake_v with_o the_o father_n both_o to_o purchase_v the_o term_n by_o his_o blood_n and_o see_v they_o perform_v by_o his_o spirit_n in_o all_o such_o so_o that_o they_o shall_v be_v infallible_o save_v but_o i_o see_v not_o how_o these_o man_n get_v any_o thing_n by_o this_o for_o if_o christ_n have_v undertake_v to_o do_v thus_o that_o be_v to_o see_v these_o term_n perform_v by_o his_o elect_n it_o must_v be_v in_o that_o order_n as_o the_o scripture_n declare_v and_o that_o be_v by_o give_v they_o repentance_n that_o they_o may_v be_v forgive_v faith_n that_o they_o may_v be_v justify_v and_o perseverance_n that_o they_o may_v be_v save_v and_o this_o do_v not_o hinder_v but_o make_v the_o covenant_n to_o be_v conditional_a when_o those_o that_o hold_v it_o make_v with_o man_n and_o to_o have_v condition_n do_v make_v faith_n to_o be_v god_n gift_n and_o the_o performance_n to_o be_v by_o grace_n no_o less_o than_o these_o do_v as_o for_o their_o speak_n of_o a_o covenant_n and_o think_v it_o not_o make_v with_o man_n i_o must_v confess_v i_o wonder_v give_v i_o such_o a_o man_n and_o i_o will_v ask_v he_o have_v the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n a_o mediator_n or_o no_o who_o will_v dare_v to_o say_v no_o well_o then_o a_o mediator_n be_v not_o a_o mediator_n of_o one_o say_v the_o apostle_n that_o be_v not_o of_o one_o but_o two_o party_n there_o must_v be_v two_o party_n at_o odds_o that_o have_v a_o dayman_n come_v between_o they_o to_o lay_v his_o hand_n upon_o both_o to_o bring_v they_o to_o a_o agreement_n christ_n be_v our_o dayman_n and_o beside_o he_o there_o must_v be_v two_o party_n or_o he_o can_v be_v no_o mediator_n between_o both_o a_o mediator_n be_v not_o of_o one_o say_z the_o scripture_n but_o god_n be_v one_o god_n be_v one_o or_o but_o one_o one_o party_n only_o and_o there_o must_v be_v another_o therefore_o on_o necessity_n beside_o the_o mediator_n and_o he_o which_o be_v man._n there_o be_v one_o god_n and_o one_o mediator_n between_o god_n and_o man_n the_o man_n christ_n jesus_n the_o light_n here_o be_v so_o esclatant_a it_o can_v be_v resist_v but_o i_o will_v produce_v what_o be_v yet_o more_o palpable_a let_v we_o turn_v to_o the_o covenant_n itself_o this_o be_v the_o covenant_n that_o i_o will_v make_v with_o the_o house_n of_o israel_n after_o those_o day_n say_v the_o lord_n i_o will_v put_v my_o law_n in_o their_o mind_n and_o write_v they_o in_o their_o heart_n and_o i_o will_v be_v to_o they_o a_o god_n and_o they_o shall_v be_v to_o i_o a_o poople_n what_o a_o strange_a thing_n now_o be_v it_o that_o any_o here_o shall_v suppose_v this_o covenant_n to_o be_v make_v with_o christ_n and_o not_o with_o man_n when_o it_o be_v express_o say_v to_o be_v make_v with_o man_n with_o the_o house_n of_o israel_n and_o what_o be_v this_o house_n of_o israel_n i_o will_v tell_v you_o and_o there_o be_v more_o here_o need_v to_o
