Two solemne COVENANTS MADE Between God and Man viz. The Covenant of Workes And the Covenant of Grace Clearly laid open distinguished and vindicated from many dangerous opinions the right knowledge of whch will be very profitable to all those that have escaped the first and are confirmed in the second at the Sacrament Rom. 5.18 19. Therefore as by the offence of one judgement came upon all men to condemnation even so by the righteousnesse of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life For as by one mans disobedience many were made sinners so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous John 1.16 For the Law was given by Moses but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ January 15. 1646. Imprimatur John Downame London Printed for Thomas Banks and are to be sold in Blackfriers at the top of Bridewell staires and in Westminster Hall at the signe of the Seale 1647. Two solemne Covenants made betweene God and Man viz. the Covenant of Workes and the Covenant of Grace clearly laid open distinguished and vindicated from many dangerous and destructive opinions THere be severall opinions about the Covenant of Works and the Covenant of grace to the great disturbance of many Christians some hold that there be foure Covenants two of Works and two of Grace the two first one with Adam before the fall and the other with Israel at their returne out of Aegypt and the Covenants of Grace the first to Abraham and the other at the Incarnation of Jesus Christ this M. Sympson affirmed before a Committee of the Assembly of Divines in my hearing 2. Others hold that there is but three Covenants the first with Adam the second with Israel at their going out of Aegypt and a third with Jesus Christ the two first of Workes and the last of Grace and this M. Burroughes delivered in his Exposition Sermon in Cornhill in my hearing 3. Others hold that there is but two Covenants the one of Works and the other of Grace yet the first they hold was made with Israel at Mount Sinai and no Covenant of workes before that and now it is vanished away and the other a Covenant of grace yet not made till the death of Christ the testator and this is affirmed by James Pope in a Book entituled the unveiling of Antichrist 4. Others hold that the Law at Mount Sinai was a Covenant of grace implying that there is more then one Covenant of grace and this is affirmed by Mr. Anthony Burgesse in his Vindication of the Morall Law the 24. Lecture text the 4. of Deuteronomy 5. Others with my selfe hold that there is but two Covenants the one a Covenant of Workes and the tree of life was a Sacrament or signe and token of it this was made with Adam before his fall and to all his posterity who come under it as soon as they take upon them his nature for he did bear an Image for himselfe and all his postetity so that if he had stood in his integrity he had conveyed his righteousnesse and holinesse to all his posterity and when he by sin defiled his nature the whole race of mankind was polluted by him and also he received a Covenant both for himselfe and all his posterity and in case he had been faithfull to it all his posterity had stood with him but he breaking that Covenant brought not only guilt upon himself but upon all his posterity with him so that now there is none clean no not one how can he be clean that is born of a woman Job 25.4 thus mans nature is polluted And in regard of the Covenant let every mouth be stopped for all the world is become guilty before God Rom. 3.29 for all have sinned and come short of the glory of God Rom. 3.23 by one man sinne entred into the world and death by sinne and so death passed upon all men for that all have sinned Rom 5.12 so then all men by nature lye under the pollution and guilt of Adams sinne and lyable to all the curses and penalties due unto them for breach of that Covenant But then there was a Covenant of grace which God the Father made with Jesus Christ from all eternity to save some of the posterity of Adam and had not this Covenant been prepared ready against the fall of Adam to take place at the very moment of his fall the Justice of God had immediatly seized upon the whole Creation under Heaven and consum'd them to their first nothing but then came Jesus Christ with the covenant in his hand saying be gracious unto him and deliver him from going down to the pit I have found a ransome Job 33.24 now I shall prove that the covenant of grace was made with Jesus Christ from all eternity being a contract or plot of God the Father with God the Sonne from all eternity as mediator for the salvation of the Elect. 1. If God the Father promised eternall life before the world began when as there was no creature as yet made this promise must needs be made to Jesus Christ our mediatour but God promised eternall life before the world began Titus 1.2 Ergo it must needs be made to Jesus Christ our mediator before the world began Secondly if Jesus Christ was set apart from all eternity for this worke then the Covenant of grace was made with him before the world was but saith Christ I was set up from everlasting before the earth was when there was no depths before the Mountaines were fetled when he prepared the heavens when he established the clouds when he gave the Sea his decree then was I by him as one brought up with him Pro. 8.23 to the 30. now this cannot be meant of Christ as God for then who should set him up or appoint him any work then it must needs follow that it was Jesus Christ as Mediatour with whom the Covenant of grace was made for him hath God the Father sealed John 6.27 Thirdly If it was appointed before the world was that Christ should come and die for sinners then the Covenant of grace was made with him to save a certain number from all eternity but saith Peter when that Kings and Rulers were gathered together against the Lord and against his Christ it was to do what God had determined before to be done Acts 4.26 27 28. and you are redeemed with the precious blood of Christ as of a Lambe without spot or blemish who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world 1 Pet. 1.18 19 20. therefore the Covenant of grace was made with Jesus Christ before the world began Fourthly if God appointed Christ a time and at the fulnesse of time he came to redeem those that were under the Law that they might receive the adoption of sonnes then the Covenant of grace was made with Jesus Christ from all eternity but this first is true Gal. 4.3.4 Ergo so is the second and it further appears
