the_o difference_n between_o a_o covenant_n and_o a_o promise_n answ_n answ_n in_o answer_n to_o this_o you_o must_v know_v that_o though_o every_o covenant_n be_v a_o promise_n yet_o every_o promise_n be_v not_o a_o covenant_n a_o covenant_n be_v a_o more_o comprehensive_a thing_n then_o a_o promise_n for_o a_o covenant_n be_v nothing_o but_o a_o bundle_n of_o promise_n all_o the_o

mean_v by_o the_o covenant_n of_o promise_n answ_n i_o answer_v that_o it_o be_v the_o free_a and_o gracious_a promise_n that_o god_n make_v with_o adam_n after_o the_o fall_n and_o with_o the_o

to_o adam_n before_o the_o fall_n and_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n after_o the_o fall_n answ_n answ_n it_o be_v call_v the_o covenant_n of_o promise_n not_o as_o if_o there_o be_v several_a kind_n of_o covenant_n and_o of_o salvation_n by_o christ_n but_o because_o there_o be_v divers_a exhibition_n and_o administration_n of_o this_o one_o covenant_n not_o as_o if_o this_o covenant_n be_v many_o in_o kind_n and_o substance_n for_o it_o be_v the_o same_o now_o that_o it_o be_v at_o the_o beginning_n but_o only_o it_o be_v diverse_o administer_v explain_v and_o enlarge_v sometime_o it_o be_v call_v a_o new_a covenant_n that_o be_v new_a in_o regard_n of_o the_o urge_n &_o exhibition_n of_o it_o the_o like_a phrase_n you_o have_v touch_v love_n behold_v a_o new_a command_n joh._n i_o

be_v it_o to_o be_v a_o stranger_n to_o the_o covenant_n of_o promise_n answ_n answ_n do_v you_o but_o dive_v and_o look_v into_o the_o bottom_n of_o it_o you_o will_v find_v it_o to_o be_v the_o final_a upshot_n of_o the_o misery_n of_o a_o unconverted_a man_n to_o be_v a_o stranger_n to_o the_o covenant_n of_o promise_n be_v to_o be_v in_o such_o a_o dismal_a and_o lamentable_a and_o deplorable_a condition_n as_o that_o none_o of_o all_o the_o promise_n of_o god_n for_o grace_n and_o life_n and_o salvation_n by_o christ_n do_v appertain_v to_o he_o and_o be_v not_o this_o a_o very_a miserable_a and_o sad_a condition_n that_o the_o lord_n look_v upon_o a_o man_n in_o a_o unregenerate_a estate_n as_o uncapable_a of_o any_o mercy_n life_n or_o salvation_n by_o christ_n a_o covenant_n as_o i_o tell_v you_o be_v a_o bundle_n of_o promise_n it_o contain_v all_o the_o promise_n of_o grace_n life_n and_o salvation_n now_o if_o you_o be_v without_o the_o covenant_n you_o must_v needs_o be_v destitute_a of_o all_o the_o promise_n by_o christ_n thus_o have_v by_o way_n of_o premise_v open_v these_o five_o particular_n i_o shall_v now_o draw_v out_o this_o one_o observation_n from_o the_o word_n doctr._n doctr._n that_o all_o man_n during_o the_o time_n of_o their_o unregenorácy_n be_v stranger_n to_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n so_o that_o they_o can_v lay_v no_o just_a claim_n to_o any_o promise_n of_o have_v life_n and_o salvation_n by_o christ_n you_o be_v stranger_n to_o the_o covenant_n of_o promise_n and_o beloved_n when_o i_o tell_v you_o that_o you_o have_v no_o title_n to_o any_o one_o promise_n of_o life_n or_o salvation_n by_o christ_n it_o be_v the_o sad_a news_n that_o ever_o you_o can_v open_v your_o ear_n to_o hear_v if_o you_o be_v a_o stranger_n to_o the_o covenant_n you_o be_v without_o all_o the_o promise_n for_o the_o covenant_n be_v a_o bundle_n of_o promise_n all_o the_o promise_n of_o god_n bind_v up_o together_o in_o the_o handle_n of_o this_o point_n i_o shall_v only_o show_v you_o two_o thing_n and_o then_o apply_v it_o 1._o i_o shall_v show_v you_o what_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n be_v 2._o how_o you_o may_v know_v whether_o you_o be_v man_n without_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n yea_o or_o no_o and_o can_v lay_v no_o just_a claim_n to_o any_o promise_n of_o life_n and_o salvation_n by_o christ_n 3._o i_o shall_v wind_v up_o all_o in_o a_o practical_a use_n both_o for_o consolation_n to_o those_o that_o be_v in_o the_o covenant_n and_o for_o terror_n to_o those_o that_o have_v no_o right_n to_o the_o covenant_n 1._o for_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n it_o be_v that_o free_a and_o gracious_a covenant_n which_o god_n make_v with_o adam_n after_o the_o fall_n promise_v he_o pardon_v of_o sin_n and_o eternal_a life_n through_o the_o righteousness_n of_o jesus_n christ_n this_o be_v the_o sum_n and_o substance_n of_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n it_o be_v the_o promise_n of_o god_n first_o make_v to_o adam_n and_o then_o renew_v to_o abraham_n isaac_n and_o jacob_n david_n and_o solomon_n and_o all_o the_o faithful_a it_o be_v the_o solemn_a promise_n that_o god_n make_v to_o the_o elect_a of_o their_o obtain_n salvation_n through_o the_o righteousness_n of_o jesus_n christ_n now_o here_o you_o must_v be_v very_o careful_a lest_o you_o run_v into_o a_o mistake_n for_o

there_o be_v two_o sort_n of_o people_n that_o run_v into_o very_o dangerous_a error_n concern_v this_o particular_a as_o 1._o the_o socinian_o that_o be_v of_o a_o opinion_n that_o all_o the_o patriarch_n and_o good_a man_n in_o the_o old_a testament_n do_v none_o of_o they_o go_v to_o heaven_n till_o christ_n come_v in_o the_o flesh_n a_o very_a uncharitable_a and_o ungodly_a opinion_n and_o 2._o there_o be_v other_o that_o hold_v that_o live_v in_o obedience_n to_o the_o moral_a law_n of_o moses_n be_v to_o tie_v the_o people_n to_o the_o covenant_n of_o work_n to_o be_v justify_v by_o it_o they_o hold_v the_o jew_n do_v not_o live_v under_o a_o covenant_n of_o grace_n till_o christ_n come_v but_o if_o it_o be_v so_o none_o of_o they_o can_v possible_o be_v save_v for_o by_o the_o work_n of_o law_n shall_v no_o flesh_n live_v be_v justify_v no_o man_n in_o the_o world_n can_v ever_o go_v to_o heaven_n by_o the_o covenant_n of_o work_n this_o i_o do_v only_o mention_v by_o the_o way_n that_o you_o may_v see_v and_o understand_v that_o since_o the_o fall_n of_o adam_n all_o man_n be_v save_v by_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n the_o covenant_n of_o work_n be_v no_o long_o in_o force_n then_o while_n adam_n live_v and_o continue_v in_o innocency_n but_o as_o soon_o as_o ever_o he_o fall_v the_o gospel_n be_v present_o preach_v unto_o they_o as_o well_o as_o it_o be_v to_o we_o now_o only_o it_o be_v preach_v unto_o they_o more_o dark_o and_o to_o we_o more_o clear_o christ_n be_v preach_v unto_o they_o as_o to_o come_v but_o he_o be_v preach_v unto_o we_o as_o come_v already_o quest_n two_o we_o come_v now_o to_o the_o second_o question_n to_o stir_v you_o up_o and_o put_v you_o upon_o enquiry_n how_o you_o may_v know_v whether_o you_o be_v the_o people_n that_o be_v in_o covenant_n with_o god_n yea_o or_o no_o so_o as_o that_o you_o can_v lay_v a_o just_a claim_n to_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n and_o to_o all_o the_o promise_n therein_o contain_v for_o salvation_n and_o life_n eternal_a by_o christ_n i_o shall_v handle_v this_o query_n not_o in_o the_o positive_a but_o in_o the_o negative_a part_n of_o it_o how_o you_o may_v know_v that_o you_o be_v not_o in_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n i_o shall_v give_v you_o three_o or_o four_o discovery_n of_o it_o answ_n 1_o 1._o thou_o oh_o man_n be_v not_o in_o covenant_n with_o thy_o god_n that_o have_v not_o yet_o break_v the_o league_n and_o covenant_n which_o thou_o have_v make_v with_o thy_o lust_n you_o that_o do_v still_o keep_v up_o and_o maintain_v the_o league_n and_o covenant_n with_o your_o lust_n and_o corruption_n you_o be_v not_o as_o yet_o come_v within_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n that_o man_n that_o make_v a_o covenant_n with_o death_n and_o hell_n can_v be_v under_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n and_o therefore_o you_o that_o have_v not_o break_v off_o your_o sin_n by_o repentance_n and_o righteousness_n and_o your_o iniquity_n by_o show_v mercy_n you_o that_o be_v in_o a_o wicked_a course_n and_o resolve_v to_o continue_v so_o lay_v no_o claim_n to_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n you_o that_o be_v engage_v to_o your_o lust_n you_o have_v be_v bad_a and_o you_o will_v be_v so_o still_o you_o have_v no_o interest_n in_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n 2._o you_o that_o think_v to_o be_v save_v by_o a_o covenant_n of_o work_n can_v be_v under_o a_o covenant_n of_o grace_n you_o that_o hope_v to_o be_v justify_v by_o work_n 4._o be_v fall_v from_o grace_n as_o the_o apostle_n say_v in_o gal._n 5_o 4._o you_o be_v fall_v from_o grace_n that_o be_v not_o that_o you_o be_v fall_v from_o the_o habit_n of_o grace_n you_o be_v fall_v from_o the_o doctrine_n of_o grace_n that_o hold_v out_o justification_n by_o christ_n that_o man_n shall_v never_o be_v save_v by_o christ_n that_o think_v he_o can_v be_v save_v by_o christ_n and_o therefore_o a_o papist_n live_v and_o die_v in_o this_o very_a opinion_n that_o he_o must_v be_v save_v by_o a_o covenant_n of_o work_n can_v be_v save_v if_o you_o be_v not_o cast_v out_o of_o yourselves_o so_o as_o to_o rely_v whole_o and_o only_o upon_o christ_n for_o life_n and_o salvation_n you_o can_v lay_v no_o just_a claim_n of_o be_v under_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n 3._o you_o be_v stranger_n to_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n that_o do_v make_v no_o conscience_n of_o break_v the_o engagement_n &_o promise_n you_o have_v make_v to_o god_n you_o that_o be_v careless_a of_o keep_v the_o covenant_n you_o have_v make_v with_o god_n this_o be_v a_o evident_a demonstration_n that_o you_o be_v not_o in_o covenant_n with_o god_n those_o that_o be_v in_o covenant_n with_o god_n make_v conscience_n of_o keep_v their_o covenant_n with_o god_n if_o in_o time_n of_o affliction_n &_o trouble_n you_o can_v make_v large_a promise_n to_o god_n of_o better_a obedience_n and_o yet_o afterward_o return_v with_o the_o dog_n to_o his_o vomit_n and_o be_v as_o bad_a or_o worse_a then_o ever_o you_o be_v this_o argue_v that_o you_o have_v no_o interest_n at_o all_o in_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n thus_o i_o have_v do_v with_o the_o second_o query_n the_o discovery_n of_o those_o that_o be_v not_o in_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n i_o have_v only_o now_o the_o application_n of_o the_o point_n to_o speak_v to_o and_o the_o use_v that_o i_o shall_v make_v of_o it_o shall_v be_v

of_o the_o great_a happiness_n you_o enjoy_v in_o be_v under_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n from_o the_o misery_n you_o will_v be_v expose_v to_o do_v you_o live_v under_o a_o covenant_n of_o work_n

you_o be_v without_o strength_n as_o in_o joh._n 25._o 5._o without_o i_o you_o can_v the_o nothing_o say_v christ_n nay_o paul_n go_v further_a in_o 2_o cor._n 3._o 5._o 5._o we_o be_v of_o ourselves_o as_o of_o ourselves_o say_v he_o not_o able_a to_o think_v a_o good_a thought_n but_o all_o our_o sufficiency_n be_v from_o god_n herein_o lie_v the_o misery_n of_o a_o man_n out_o of_o christ_n he_o be_v able_a to_o do_v nothing_o he_o be_v like_o samson_n without_o his_o hair_n he_o that_o before_o can_v break_v iron_n band_n like_v so_o many_o straw_n now_o his_o strength_n be_v no_o more_o than_o another_o man_n beloved_n you_o be_v very_o weak_a indeed_o if_o you_o want_v christ_n in_o esai_n 45._o 54._o it_o be_v say_v there_o that_o christ_n be_v make_v unto_o a_o believer_n righteousness_n and_o strength_n now_o if_o you_o want_v christ_n you_o want_v righteousness_n by_o way_n of_o acceptance_n and_o you_o want_v strength_n by_o way_n of_o assistance_n but_o here_o to_o branch_v out_o this_o more_o particular_o i_o shall_v show_v you_o in_o five_o particular_n wherein_o a_o man_n without_o jesus_n christ_n want_v strength_n 1._o every_o man_n out_o of_o christ_n want_v 26._o strength_n to_o perform_v any_o duty_n as_o in_o rom._n 8._o 26._o we_o know_v not_o what_o to_o pray_v for_o as_o we_o ought_v we_o be_v able_a to_o do_v nothing_o that_o be_v spiritual_o good_a of_o ourselves_o all_o our_o duty_n and_o service_n without_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n add_v to_o they_o be_v but_o like_o so_o many_o cipher_n now_o you_o know_v put_v 1000_o cipher_n together_o and_o they_o make_v no_o sum_n but_o if_o one_o figure_n be_v prefix_v to_o they_o they_o make_v a_o innumerable_a number_n why_o so_o all_o our_o duty_n of_o themselves_o be_v worth_a nothing_o but_o then_o christ_n be_v add_v to_o they_o that_o put_v a_o estimate_n upon_o they_o and_o make_v they_o of_o a_o considerable_a value_n and_o worth_n 2._o you_o be_v without_o strength_n to_o exercise_v any_o grace_n a_o dead_a man_n be_v as_o well_o able_a to_o stir_v as_o a_o man_n without_o christ_n be_v able_a to_o step_v one_o step_v heaven-ward_n if_o god_n shall_v say_v i_o will_v save_v thy_o soul_n and_o give_v thou_o heaven_n can_v thou_o but_o perform_v one_o duty_n or_o exercise_v one_o grace_n thou_o can_v not_o do_v it_o and_o therefore_o christ_n tell_v we_o in_o joh._n 15._o unless_o you_o be_v in_o i_o you_o can_v bring_v forth_o no_o fruit_n 3._o without_o christ_n thou_o be_v without_o strength_n to_o subdue_v any_o lust_n oh_o how_o unable_a be_v thou_o to_o keep_v under_o a_o predominant_a and_o a_o turbulent_a lust_n every_o sin_n will_v prevail_v and_o domineer_v in_o thy_o soul_n in_o gal._n 20._o 2._o 20._o say_v paul_n i_o have_v crucify_v sin_n yet_o not_o i_o but_o christ_n that_o live_v in_o i_o the_o messenger_n of_o satan_n that_o be_v send_v to_o buffet_v paul_n have_v prevail_v over_o he_o if_o christ_n have_v not_o help_v he_o you_o be_v not_o able_a to_o subdue_v any_o lust_n without_o christ_n 4._o you_o be_v without_o strength_n to_o resist_v 10._o any_o temptation_n in_o ephes_n 6._o 10._o paul_n exhort_v they_o there_o to_o be_v strong_a in_o the_o lord_n and_o in_o the_o power_n of_o his_o might_n not_o in_o the_o power_n of_o their_o own_o might_n for_o they_o be_v not_o able_a to_o stand_v of_o themselves_o by_o their_o own_o strength_n but_o be_v strong_a in_o the_o lord_n and_o in_o the_o power_n of_o his_o might_n so_o david_n when_o he_o come_v to_o fight_v against_o great_a goliath_n have_v he_o go_v out_o to_o meet_v he_o in_o his_o own_o strength_n he_o have_v be_v overcome_v and_o devour_v but_o he_o go_v against_o he_o in_o the_o name_n and_o in_o the_o strength_n of_o the_o lord_n of_o host_n 5._o a_o man_n without_o christ_n be_v without_o strength_n to_o bear_v or_o undergo_v any_o affliction_n every_o affliction_n that_o be_v but_o like_o a_o feather_n to_o one_o that_o be_v in_o christ_n will_v be_v like_o a_o lump_n of_o lead_n upon_o thou_o a_o godly_a man_n if_o he_o have_v any_o way_n withdraw_v himself_o from_o christ_n aid_n and_o assistance_n a_o little_a affliction_n will_v sink_v he_o for_o it_o be_v give_v we_o of_o god_n not_o only_o 21._o to_o do_v but_o to_o suffer_v for_o his_o sake_n phil._n 2._o 21._o intimate_v that_o unless_o god_n do_v enable_v we_o to_o suffer_v we_o be_v not_o able_a to_o bear_v up_o our_o spirit_n under_o any_o affliction_n thus_o than_o you_o see_v that_o if_o you_o want_v a_o interest_n in_o christ_n you_o want_v strength_n in_o these_o five_o particular_n to_o perform_v any_o duty_n to_o exercise_v any_o grace_n to_o subdue_v any_o lust_n to_o resist_v any_o temptation_n or_o to_o bear_v any_o affliction_n but_o 2._o if_o you_o be_v without_o christ_n you_o be_v not_o only_o without_o strength_n but_o without_o growth_n likewise_o jesus_n christ_n be_v to_o the_o soul_n of_o man_n what_o the_o warm_a beam_n of_o the_o sun_n be_v to_o the_o earth_n take_v away_o the_o influence_n of_o the_o warm_a beam_n of_o the_o sun_n from_o the_o earth_n and_o then_o all_o the_o grass_n of_o the_o field_n and_o every_o herb_n and_o green_a thing_n will_v die_v and_o wither_v away_o present_o so_o christ_n he_o be_v our_o sun_n of_o righteousness_n take_v away_o christ_n from_o a_o man_n and_o there_o will_v no_o blossom_n of_o grace_n bud_n forth_o in_o that_o man_n heart_n adam_n stock_n be_v a_o barren_a root_n upon_o which_o no_o branch_n of_o grace_n will_v spring_v forth_o you_o can_v never_o bring_v forth_o any_o fruit_n unto_o god_n unless_o you_o be_v graff_v not_o upon_o adam_n stock_n but_o upon_o the_o stock_n of_o the_o root_n of_o jesse_n a_o man_n during_o his_o unconverted_a estate_n he_o be_v the_o devil_n slave_n and_o he_o never_o bring_v forth_o fruit_n till_o he_o come_v to_o be_v in_o christ_n only_o in_o and_o through_o christ_n we_o be_v enable_v to_o bring_v forth_o acceptable_a fruit_n unto_o god_n 3._o without_o christ_n thou_o be_v likewise_o without_o worth_n though_o thou_o be_v the_o son_n of_o a_o noble_a and_o of_o the_o offspring_n of_o prince_n that_o can_v lay_v claim_n to_o thousand_o and_o ten_o thousand_o per_fw-la annum_fw-la yet_o without_o christ_n thou_o be_v poor_a and_o wretched_a and_o miserable_a

treasure_n of_o it_o be_v bind_v up_o in_o he_o 4._o without_o christ_n you_o be_v without_o comfort_n this_o be_v a_o deplorable_a misery_n a_o man_n without_o christ_n be_v without_o comfort_n as_o that_o will_v be_v a_o uncomfortable_a dwell_n where_o the_o sun_n shall_v not_o shine_v by_o day_n nor_o the_o moon_n by_o night_n even_o so_o will_v thy_o soul_n be_v very_o disconsolate_a if_o christ_n do_v not_o shine_v in_o upon_o thy_o heart_n the_o comfort_n of_o a_o child_n of_o god_n do_v either_o ebb_n or_o flow_v as_o christ_n either_o come_v to_o he_o or_o go_v from_o he_o 5._o without_o christ_n thou_o be_v without_o liberty_n if_o the_o son_n make_v you_o free_a then_o be_v you_o free_a indeed_o joh._n 8._o 36._o and_o unless_o the_o son_n make_v you_o free_a you_o be_v
