A76707	The copy of the covenant of grace With a true discovery of several false pretenders to that eternal inheritance, and of the right heir thereunto. Together with such safe instructions as will inable him to clear his title, and to make it unquestionable. Exactly evidenced by many perspicuous and unconstrained testimonies of scripture. Penned, and published upon mature deliberation, and good advise. / By Robert Bidwel, a servant, and minister of the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.

common_a thing_n with_o many_o to_o compliment_v we_o with_o your_o humble_a servant_n when_o real_o and_o true_o they_o esteem_v it_o too_o little_a honour_n to_o be_v but_o our_o master_n unless_o

over_o his_o own_o conscience_n he_o will_v not_o suffer_v it_o so_o much_o as_o to_o mind_v he_o of_o any_o of_o his_o vile_a abomination_n he_o have_v sear_v it_o or_o burn_v it_o as_o a_o slave_n

in_o the_o example_n of_o ahab_n for_o elijah_n have_v denounce_v most_o fearful_a judgement_n against_o ahab_n his_o wife_n and_o family_n it_o come_v to_o pass_v when_o ahab_n hear_v those_o word_n

this_o constrain_a humility_n be_v carry_v on_o by_o hypocrisy_n than_o it_o prove_v contemptible_a this_o appear_v in_o the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n by_o his_o prophet_n isaiah_n to_o the_o

of_o your_o fast_n you_o find_v pleasure_n and_o exact_v all_o your_o labour_n behold_v you_o fast_o for_o strife_n and_o debate_n etc._n etc._n isa_n 58._o 3_o 4_o 5._o here_o be_v all_o the_o sign_n of_o a_o solemn_a humiliation_n but_o because_o it_o be_v perform_v in_o hypocrisy_n the_o lord_n pour_v contempt_n upon_o it_o and_o therefore_o the_o lord_n christ_n in_o his_o sermon_n on_o the_o

unto_o man_n to_o fast_o etc._n etc._n math._n 6._o 16._o etc._n etc._n and_o this_o fast_n be_v a_o principal_a part_n of_o humiliation_n as_o it_o appear_v by_o that_o of_o the_o prophet_n david_n i_o humble_v my_o soul_n with_o fast_v say_v he_o psal_n 35._o 13._o and_o by_o the_o deportment_n of_o the_o jew_n in_o the_o time_n of_o esther_n and_o mordecay_v esther_n 4._o 3._o three_o when_o this_o constrain_a humility_n incounter_v with_o despair_n it_o become_v deadly_a and_o damnable_a as_o in_o the_o example_n of_o saul_n who_o in_o his_o sore_a distress_n humble_v himself_o even_o unto_o the_o devil_n in_o the_o likeness_n of_o samuel_n 1_o sam._n 28._o 14._o and_o of_o judas_n the_o traitor_n who_o repent_v confess_v restore_v and_o depart_v and_o go_v and_o hang_v himself_o math._n 27._o 3_o 4_o 5._o but_o this_o humility_n if_o it_o find_v out_o faith_n than_o it_o prove_v sound_a and_o effectual_a like_o that_o of_o manasseh_n who_o when_o he_o be_v in_o affliction_n beseech_v the_o lord_n his_o god_n and_o humble_v himself_o great_o before_o the_o god_n of_o his_o father_n and_o pray_v unto_o he_o and_o he_o be_v entreat_v of_o he_o and_o hear_v his_o

of_o humility_n less_o remarkable_a in_o saul_n the_o persecuter_n afterward_o paul_n the_o apostle_n who_o be_v upon_o the_o height_n of_o his_o tyrannical_a intention_n jesus_n who_o he_o

have_v i_o to_o do_v act_n 9_o to_o the_o 7_o the_o verse_n then_o upon_o who_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n be_v never_o more_o free_o bestow_v then_o by_o who_o the_o free_a grace_n of_o god_n in_o

of_o regeneration_n through_o which_o our_o connscience_n be_v convict_v and_o afflict_v by_o the_o sense_n of_o our_o sin_n and_o the_o consideration_n of_o our_o own_o want_n and_o unworthiness_n we_o do_v unfeigned_o confess_v the_o same_o unto_o god_n devout_o implore_v his_o pardon_n for_o sin_n together_o with_o a_o supply_n of_o spiritual_a grace_n that_o this_o humility_n be_v a_o work_n of_o regeneration_n and_o thus_o qualify_v i_o conceive_v will_v not_o be_v deny_v nor_o contradict_v for_o so_o soon_o as_o that_o eternal_a goodness_n of_o god_n appear_v unto_o his_o otherwise_o lose_a creature_n in_o beget_v he_o of_o his_o own_o will_n with_o the_o word_n of_o truth_n as_o ja._n 1._o 18._o immediate_o by_o the_o light_n of_o the_o same_o word_n he_o begin_v to_o survey_v himself_o and_o to_o weigh_v all_o his_o thought_n word_n action_n and_o ability_n according_a to_o this_o balance_n of_o the_o sanctuary_n and_o find_v they_o utter_o void_a of_o all_o grace_n and_o

and_o shall_v cease_v to_o be_v god_n in_o christ_n personal_o that_o god_n may_v be_v all_o in_o all_o essential_o according_a to_o that_o of_o the_o apostle_n 1_o cor._n 15._o 28._o thus_o you_o

contain_v in_o this_o definition_n of_o faith_n that_o this_o justify_v faith_n enable_v we_o to_o believe_v the_o promise_n of_o god_n in_o christ_n according_a to_o his_o gospel_n not_o according_a to_o the_o law_n for_o the_o law_n be_v not_o of_o faith_n gal._n 3._o 12._o for_o if_o there_o have_v be_v a_o law_n give_v which_o can_v have_v give_v life_n very_o righteousness_n shall_v have_v

21_o 22._o and_o no_o man_n ought_v to_o doubt_v but_o that_o the_o promise_n of_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n in_o christ_n be_v the_o only_a voice_n of_o the_o gospel_n whether_o it_o proceed_v from_o

that_o this_o justify_n and_o save_a faith_n enable_v we_o to_o believe_v the_o promise_n of_o god_n in_o christ_n according_a to_o his_o gospel_n it_o be_v most_o evident_a for_o neither_o can_v
