the Jews did for the Covenant of Grace consists of two parts an Inner Court and an Outer Court So it was under the Law Ezek. 8.16 And so it is under the Gospel Rev. 11.1 2. And it hath Internal and External Members or Worshippers in it Rom. 11.17 John 15.1 2. And there are Spiritual and Temporal Blessings and Priviledges belong unto it Rom. 3.1 2. Mat. 6.33 2. In the second place let us take a View of the Lineal Descent of the Covenant of Grace viz. After our first Parents fell into a State of Sin and Misery by which the first Covenant was broken namely that of Works then God made a Second or New Covenant with Adam and his Seed the Covenant of Grace in Gen. 3.15 But Cain sinned himself out of it and God Excommunicated him with a Curse Gen. 4.10 11 13 14. And God gave Adam Seth in the room of Abel whom Cain slew ver 25 26. 2. The Covenant of Grace continued from Adam to Noah a Preacher of Righteousness 2 Pet. 2.5 that is he was a Gospel Preacher for he preached the Righteousness of Christ for Justification and Salvation and God confirmed and ratified the Covenant with Noah and his Seed before the Flood Gen. 6.18 But with thee will I establish my covenant and thou shalt come into the ark thou and thy sons and thy wife and thy sons wives with thee Now was not this distinguishing peculiar Love and Grace that God should spare and preserve Noah and all his House when all the rest of the World were drowned and utterly destroyed Therefore they were in the Covenant of Grace 2. God renewed his Covenant with Noah and all his Seed after the Flood Gen. 9.9 And I behold I establish my covenant with you and with your seed after you And we have the Token of the Covenant in the 12 and 13 Verses And God said This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you for perpetual generations I do set my bow in the cloud and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth 3. This Covenant was principally made with Noah and his Seed and consisted of special and common Mercies both to Man and Beast 2. The Token of this Covenant is extended to all good and bad Saints and Sinners but chiefly and principally it is for God himself to remember his Covenant Verse 16. And the bow shall be in the cloud and I will look upon it that I may remember the everlasting covenant c. The Rain-bow is a Token that God will never destroy the World by Water again as in ver 11 12 13. and that Token remains as a Witness unto this Day In which Token we may see the Goodness and also Severity of God Goodness to Noah and his Family which is extended unto us for had Noah and his Family been drowned also we had never been and Severity against sin in that he destroyed all the ungodly World From hence I shall make some Observations 1. If the Token of that Covenant had disappeared at the coming in of the Gospel in its Splendor and full Latitude it might have been concluded that the Covenant God made with Noah and Abraham had been Repealed and Dissolved and so the Infant Seed of Believers cast out and in no Covenant at all for that was the Token of the Covenant in the largest Extent both with a respect to God and Man For if we do but observe the Terms and Tenure of the Covenant God made with Noah before the Flood and after the Flood it is much the same with a respect to Noah and his Family and so likewise with Abraham's Covenant to him and his Seed wherefore let us compare them together and also the Tokens Gen. 6.18 But with thee will I establish my covenant and thou shalt come into the ark c. Gen. 9.9 And I behold I establish my covenant with you and with your seed after you 2. Abraham's Covenant runs thus Gen. 17.7 And I will establish my covenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee c. 2. For the Tokens of the Covenant Gen. 9.12 And God said This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you for perpetual generations Gen. 17. And I will establish my covenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee in their generations c. And ye shall circumcise the flesh of your fore-skin and it shall be a token of the covenant betwixt me and you Mark that of Noah's Covenant is called The Token but this of Abraham's Covenant is called A Token The first might be called The Token because it was to have no Successor and that of Abraham's might be called A Token because it was to have a Successor namely Baptism for the Token of Noah's Covenant is to perpetual Generations but so is not Circumcision it self though it is said in Gen. 17. And my covenant shall be in your flesh for an everlasting covenant So that when Circumcision was abolished the Covenant remained in the flesh therefore Baptism succeeded Circumcision for no Ordinances but them two have to do with the Flesh in the Covenant in Initiation as Circumcision had and Baptism hath Thus you see the Analogy there was between the Covenant and the Tokens thereof God made with Noah and Abraham 3. Let us bring this Covenant God made with Noah and Abraham down into Gospel-Times 1. Let us observe what that Gospel-Prophet saith in Isa 54.8 In a little wrath I hid my face from thee for a moment but with everlasting kindness will I have mercy on thee saith the Lord thy redeemer Ver. 9. For this is as the waters of Noah unto me for as I have sworn that the waters of Noah should no more go over the earth so have I sworn that I would not be wroth with thee nor rebuke thee Ver. 10. For the mountains shall depart and the hills be removed but my kindness shall not depart from thee neither shall the covenant of my peace be removed saith the Lord that hath mercy on thee Ver. 13. And all thy children shall be taught of the Lord and great shall be the peace of thy children This is a Prediction of the conversion of the Jews in gospel-Gospel-Times Heb. 8.10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days saith the Lord that is after the days of their Captivity I will put my laws into their mind and write them in their hearts and I will be to them a God and they shall be to me a people Compare to Jer. 31.8 9 27 to 34. and Ezek. 36.22 to 27. 2. Noah's Covenant or the Dispensations of God towards Noah is set forth in the Gospel in a two-fold manner 1. By way of Figurative Allusion 2. By way of clear Expression 1. By Figurative Allusion Rev. 4.2
