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

to_o come_v to_o their_o faith_n as_o the_o wine_n in_o the_o sacrament_n signify_v the_o blood_n of_o christ_n already_o shed_v for_o many_o than_o he_o speak_v high_o of_o their_o privilege_n so_o that_o now_o for_o the_o people_n of_o god_n to_o mourn_v for_o sin_n as_o under_o sin_n be_v sinful_a but_o here_o we_o may_v see_v this_o man_n who_o will_v be_v think_v to_o be_v for_o christ_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

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
