of_o promise_n o_o my_o lord_n my_o goodness_n be_v no●_n for_o thou_o but_o for_o the_o saint_n that_o be_v in_o the_o earth_n an●_n the_o excellent_a in_o who_o be_v all_o my_o delight_n and_o so_o ou●_n saviour_n christ_n promise_v to_o the_o father_n in_o the_o 17._o o●_n john_n therefore_o do_v i_o sanctify_v myself_o that_o the●_n also_o may_v be_v sanctify_v and_o if_o you_o look_v into_o the_o hebrew_n you_o shall_v find_v that_o christ_n be_v call_v the_o surety_n of_o the_o covenant_n why_o because_o he_o do_v engage_v for_o god_n the_o father_n to_o perform_v to_o we_o and_o he_o do_v engage_v for_o we_o that_o we_o shall_v perform_v to_o god_n so_o that_o do_v you_o ask_v what_o the_o covenant_n be_v plain_o than_o it_o be_v that_o mutual_a agreement_n between_o god_n an●_n man_n whereby_o god_n the_o father_n do_v engage_v himself_o to_o show_v kindness_n love_n and_o mercy_n to_o christ_n and_o his_o seed_n christ_n engage_v both_o for_o himself_o and_o for_o his_o seed_n to_o be_v obedient_a unto_o god_n the_o father_n 2._o but_o than_o second_o why_o be_v this_o covenant_n call_v a_o new_a covenant_n not_o only_o because_o it_o be_v a_o excellent_a covenant_n as_o in_o scripture_n phrase_n excellent_a thing_n be_v call_v new_a a_o new_a song_n etc._n etc._n nor_o only_o because_o it_o bring_v a_o new_a heart_n which_o be_v promise_v in_o the_o covenant_n nor_o only_o because_o it_o be_v always_o fresh_a and_o green_a and_o new_a upon_o which_o account_n austin_n think_v that_o the_o commandment_n of_o love_n be_v call_v a_o new_a commandment_n nor_o be_v it_o call_v new_a only_o because_o there_o be_v no_o other_o covenant_n to_o succeed_v and_o follow_v which_o be_v the_o reason_n in_o the_o 8_o of_o heb._n but_o it_o be_v call_v a_o new_a covenant_n in_o opposition_n to_o the_o covenant_n that_o be_v make_v with_o adam_n and_o with_o we_o in_o the_o state_n of_o innocency_n and_o in_o opposition_n to_o the_o covenant_n which_o be_v make_v with_o the_o jew_n in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n first_o new_a in_o opposition_n to_o the_o covenant_n that_o be_v make_v with_o adam_n in_o the_o state_n of_o innocency_n for_o then_o though_o god_n out_o of_o free_a love_n and_o grace_n be_v please_v to_o condescend_v to_o enter_v into_o covenant_n with_o man_n yet_o than_o god_n do_v deal_v with_o we_o in_o a_o way_n of_o supremacy_n and_o of_o righteousness_n and_o therefore_o there_o be_v mention_v make_v only_o of_o the_o threaten_v in_o the_o day_n that_o thou_o eat_v thereof_o thou_o shall_v die_v the_o death_n but_o now_o god_n deal_v with_o we_o in_o this_o covenant_n in_o a_o way_n of_o grace_n and_o of_o great_a compassion_n and_o therefore_o in_o this_o covenant_n there_o be_v mention_v make_v only_o of_o the_o promise_n again_o 2._o though_o god_n do_v enter_v into_o covenant_n with_o adam_n and_o so_o with_o we_o and_o promise_v eternal_a life_n in_o heaven_n not_o eternal_a life_n in_o this_o world_n only_o as_o some_o will_v for_o hell_n be_v threaten_v in_o these_o word_n in_o the_o day_n thou_o eat_v thereof_o thou_o shall_v die_v the_o death_n and_o therefore_o heaven_n and_o salvation_n be_v promise_v on_o the_o contrary_a yet_o i_o say_v although_o god_n when_o he_o enter_v into_o covenant_n with_o we_o then_o do_v promise_v heaven_n and_o salvation_n it_o be_v upon_o condition_n of_o our_o personal_a and_o perfect_a obedience_n and_o therefore_o call_v a_o covenant_n of_o work_n but_o now_o our_o covenant_n run_v upon_o no_o such_o term_n 3._o then_o in_o that_o covenant_n acceptation_n begin_v in_o the_o work_n and_o so_o to_o the_o person_n and_o therefore_o say_v the_o lord_n to_o cain_n if_o thou_o do_v well_o shall_v thou_o not_o be_v accept_v speak_v to_o he_o as_o belong_v to_o the_o covenant_n of_o work_n but_o in_o the_o covenant_n now_o make_v the_o acceptation_n begin_v in_o the_o person_n and_o so_o to_o the_o work_n and_o therefore_o say_v the_o lord_n concern_v abel_n the_o lord_n accept_v abel_n his_o person_n and_o then_o his_o sacrifice_n 4._o then_o also_o the_o lord_n give_v adam_n and_o we_o an●_n ability_n to_o stand_v but_o he_o do_v not_o give_v a_o promise_n of_o perseverance_n in_o stand_v but_o now_o the_o lord_n do_v i_o will_v put_v my_o fear_n into_o your_o heart_n that_o you_o shall_v not_o depart_v from_o i_o say_v the_o lord_n 5._o then_o in_o that_o covenant_n there_o be_v no_o room_n for_o repentance_n no_o room_n for_o remission_n but_o as_o in_o a_o court_n of_o mere_a justice_n the_o question_n be_v not_o whether_o a_o man_n do_v repent_v of_o his_o fact_n or_o no_o but_o whither_o i_o or_o no_o have_v such_o a_o fact_n be_v do_v so_o by_o the_o covenant_n of_o work_n the_o first_o covenant_n there_o be_v no_o question_n whether_o a_o man_n do_v repent_v or_o no_o but_o whether_o the_o work_n be_v do_v whether_o the_o sin_n be_v do_v but_o now_o in_o this_o covenant_n there_o be_v room_n both_o for_o repentance_n and_o for_o remission_n as_o by_o and_o by_o you_o shall_v hear_v and_o then_o 6._o though_o when_o god_n make_v that_o covenant_n with_o adam_n and_o with_o we_o the_o tree_n of_o life_n may_v be_v some_o shadow_n of_o christ_n yet_o then_o there_o be_v no_o mediator_n for_o there_o be_v no_o need_n god_n and_o man_n be_v not_o at_o variance_n and_o so_o no_o need_n of_o a_o mediator_n but_o in_o this_o covenant_n that_o be_v now_o strike_v there_o be_v a_o mediator_n a_o mediator_n of_o the_o new_a covenant_n so_o that_o thus_o you_o see_v this_o covenant_n be_v new_a in_o opposition_n to_o the_o covenant_n that_o be_v make_v with_o adam_n and_o we_o in_o the_o state_n of_o innocency_n and_o second_o as_o it_o be_v new_a in_o opposition_n to_o the_o covenant_n that_o be_v make_v with_o adam_n the_o covenant_n of_o work_n so_o it_o be_v new_a also_o in_o opposition_n to_o the_o covenant_n that_o be_v make_v with_o the_o jew_n in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n for_o the_o clear_n of_o this_o first_o of_o all_o we_o must_v inquire_v whether_o there_o be_v any_o difference_n between_o the_o covenant_n make_v with_o the_o jew_n in_o the_o day_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n and_o the_o covenant_n make_v with_o we_o now_o and_o in_o case_n there_o be_v what_o be_v the_o difference_n and_o wherein_o it_o lie_v and_o first_o if_o you_o ask_v whether_o there_o be_v any_o difference_n if_o i_o shall_v answer_v with_o divine_n ordinary_o wherein_o they_o speak_v the_o truth_n i_o must_v say_v that_o the_o covenant_n which_o god_n make_v with_o the_o jew_n be_v for_o substance_n the_o same_o though_o different_a in_o administration_n but_o give_v i_o leave_v to_o express_v my_o own_o sense_n in_o my_o own_o term_n thus_o 1._o it_o be_v plain_a and_o clear_a that_o the_o jew_n that_o be_v save_v in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n be_v save_v by_o the_o same_o covenant_n that_o we_o now_o be_v save_v by_o for_o they_o be_v save_v by_o the_o covenant_n that_o god_n make_v with_o abraham_n so_o be_v we_o luke_n 11._o rom._n 4._o gal._n 3._o circumcision_n than_o be_v the_o seal_n of_o the_o covenant_n and_o what_o be_v circumcision_n but_o a_o seal_n of_o the_o righteousness_n of_o faith_n the_o ceremony_n type_n and_o sacrifice_n do_v not_o belong_v to_o the_o covenant_n of_o work_n they_o be_v type_n of_o christ_n and_o therefore_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v the_o same_o covenant_n for_o it_o be_v a_o covenant_n of_o work_n that_o be_v make_v with_o the_o jew_n god_n shall_v have_v bring_v they_o from_o better_a to_o worse_o for_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n be_v make_v with_o abraham_n but_o though_o the_o law_n be_v add_v after_o the_o promise_n it_o can_v not_o disannul_v the_o promise_n say_v the_o apostle_n in_o the_o 3._o of_o gal._n so_o that_o its_o plain_a and_o clea●_n the_o jew_n that_o be_v then_o save_v be_v save_v by_o th●_n same_o covenant_n that_o we_o now_o be_v but_o 2._o though_o those_o jew_n that_o be_v save_v wer●_n save_v by_o the_o same_o covenant_n that_o we_o now_o be_v save_v by_o yet_o notwithstanding_o the_o covenant_n o●_n work_n be_v declare_v and_o promulge_v among_o th●_n jew_n wherefore_o then_o be_v the_o law_n add_v say_v th●_n apostle_n add_v then_o it_o be_v as_o sarah_n and_o hagar_n make_v type_n of_o the_o two_o testament_n by_o the_o apostle_n be_v at_o once_o in_o abraham_n house_n so_o the_o old_a covenant_n of_o work_n and_o the_o new_a covenant_n of_o grace_n wer●_n at_o once_o in_o the_o jewish_a

that_o be_v but_o to_o the_o purify_n of_o the_o flesh_n for_o say_v the_o apostle_n at_o the_o 13_o v._o of_o the_o 9th_o chap._n if_o the_o blood_n of_o bull_n and_o of_o goat_n and_o the_o ash_n

the_o offering_n of_o the_o heathen_a above_o the_o offering_n of_o the_o jew_n above_o the_o offering_n of_o the_o christian_n above_o the_o offering_n of_o the_o heathen_n for_o they_o sacrifice_v to_o devil_n but_o he_o offer_v himself_o without_o spot_n to_o god_n above_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o the_o jew_n for_o their_o blood_n of_o sprinkle_v sanctify_v to_o the_o purify_n of_o the_o flesh_n but_o this_o to_o the_o purge_n of_o your_o conscience_n from_o dead_a work_n above_o the_o offering_n of_o the_o christian_n for_o though_o christian_n offer_v up_o spiritual_a sacrifice_n to_o god_n as_o prayer_n and_o thanksgiving_n yet_o not_o without_o spot_n but_o he_o offer_v himself_o through_o the_o eternal_a spirit_n without_o spot_n to_o god_n 6._o and_o then_o though_o a●el_v offer_v a_o excellent_a sacrifice_n and_o so_o the_o father_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n yet_o notwithstanding_o those_o be_v for_o themselves_o and_o for_o those_o time_n abel_n offer_v for_o himself_o

the_o world_n and_o a_o lamb_n slay_v from_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o w●rld_n 7._o again_o though_o abel_n offer_v a_o excellent_a sacrifice_n and_o the_o father_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n offer_v excellent_a sacrifice_n and_o the_o blood_n thereof_o be_v sprinkle_v yet_o it_o be_v not_o sprinkle_v upon_o all_o thing_n but_o in_o the_o 9th_o heb_fw-mi it_o be_v say_v moreover_o he_o sprinkle_v

by_o the_o blood_n of_o jesus_n all_o thing_n be_v purge_v and_o cleanse_v not_o almost_o but_o all_o thing_n be_v purge_v and_o cleanse_v thus_o now_o you_o see_v what_o this_o blood_n of_o sprinkle_v speak_v and_o how_o it_o speak_v better_a thing_n than_o the_o blood_n of_o abel_n better_a than_o his_o personal_a blood_n and_o better_a than_o his_o sacrifice_a blood_n and_o that_o be_v the_o second_o general_n 3._o now_o 3_o unto_o this_o blood_n of_o sprinkle_v be_v we_o come_v in_o these_o gospel-t●mes_a we_o be_v not_o come_v unto_o the_o blood_n of_o bull_n and_o goat_n and_o

a_o crucified_a christ_n there_o be_v two_o come_n of_o christ_n mention_v in_o the_o scripture_n a_o come_n in_o a_o way_n of_o meanness_n ride_v upon_o a_o ass_n his_o first_o come_v be_v in_o a_o

ride_v upon_o the_o cloud_n in_o power_n and_o great_a glory_n and_o according_o his_o kingdom_n then_o shall_v be_v a_o kingdom_n of_o power_n and_o glory_n when_o christ_n come_v the_o second_o time_n we_o shall_v be_v under_o glorious_a dispensation_n but_o now_o we_o be_v under_o the_o first_o come_v of_o christ_n and_o therefore_o what_o be_v the_o dispensation_n that_o now_o we_o be_v under_o but_o the_o dispensation_n of_o a_o crucify_a christ_n what_o do_v a_o preach_a signify_v and_o hold_v forth_o but_o christ_n crucify_v we_o preach_v christ_n crucify_v say_v the_o apostle_n what_o do_v the_o sacrament_n hold_v forth_o why_o this_o cup_n be_v the_o new_a testament_n in_o my_o blood_n say_v he_o so_o that_o now_o we_o be_v under_o the_o dispensation_n of_o a_o crucify_a

now_o in_o these_o time_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n the_o first_o and_o immediate_a object_n of_o our_o faith_n be_v the_o blood_n of_o christ_n faith_n in_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n rom_n 3._o so_o that_o i_o say_v it_o be_v the_o blood_n of_o jesus_n that_o now_o we_o be_v come_v unto_o well_o but_o though_o in_o these_o gospel-time_n we_o be_v now_o come_v to_o the_o blood_n of_o jesus_n the_o blood_n of_o sprinkle_v yet_o it_o may_v be_v this_o blood_n of_o sprinkle_v may_v not_o be_v sprinkle_v upon_o my_o soul_n when_o may_v the_o blood_n of_o sprinkle_v be_v say_v to_o be_v
