require_v in_o the_o covenant_n of_o work_n how_o faith_n be_v rerequire_v sol._n to_o this_o i_o answer_v three_o thing_n 1._o faith_n be_v require_v in_o the_o covenant_n of_o work_n as_o faith_n may_v be_v take_v either_o for_o a_o dependence_n on_o god_n the_o only_a author_n of_o be_v and_o blessing_n or_o for_o a_o expectation_n of_o that_o good_a of_o life_n which_o god_n promise_v with_o a_o reliance_n upon_o god_n for_o it_o or_o for_o a_o persuasion_n of_o god_n love_n to_o he_o and_o acceptance_n of_o his_o obedience_n while_o continue_v upright_o with_o god_n as_o to_o these_o consideration_n of_o faith_n adam_n who_o live_v under_o the_o covenant_n of_o work_n have_v faith_n and_o do_v exercise_v it_o for_o he_o be_v bind_v to_o acknowledge_v god_n as_o the_o only_a fountain_n of_o his_o good_a and_o to_o depend_v upon_o he_o as_o so_o and_o he_o be_v bind_v to_o believe_v the_o possession_n of_o that_o life_n which_o god_n promise_v to_o he_o while_o he_o shall_v continue_v perfect_o obedient_a and_o likewise_o he_o be_v bind_v to_o be_v persuade_v of_o the_o love_n of_o god_n unto_o he_o in_o that_o course_n of_o obedience_n and_o also_o the_o acceptance_n of_o his_o obediential_a service_n unto_o god_n 2._o but_o that_o faith_n which_o respect_v the_o covenant_n of_o work_n be_v different_a from_o that_o faith_n which_o respect_v the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n and_o be_v now_o require_v for_o 1._o require_v how_o not_o require_v that_o faith_n be_v such_o as_o look_v on_o a_o promise_n of_o life_n make_v by_o god_n to_o a_o perfect_a creature_n and_o as_o so_o continue_v but_o that_o faith_n which_o respect_v the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n look_v upon_o the_o promise_n of_o god_n in_o christ_n make_v in_o respect_n to_o we_o sinner_n and_o lose_v in_o ourselves_o 2._o that_o faith_n look_v on_o god_n as_o a_o creator_n and_o preserver_n but_o this_o faith_n look_v on_o god_n as_o a_o redeemer_n and_o merciful_a father_n 3._o that_o faith_n be_v natural_a concreated_a with_o adam_n not_o raise_v nor_o infuse_v in_o a_o gospel-way_n but_o this_o faith_n be_v now_o promise_v and_o infuse_v in_o a_o supernatural_a way_n by_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n through_o the_o dispensation_n of_o the_o gospel_n 4._o that_o faith_n can_v not_o be_v at_o all_o in_o any_o but_o so_o long_o as_o he_o be_v perfect_o righteous_a and_o therefore_o it_o cease_v upon_o the_o cessation_n of_o that_o righteousness_n it_o be_v principal_o ground_v upon_o inherent_a righteousness_n but_o this_o faith_n be_v in_o a_o sinner_n who_o have_v no_o righteousness_n of_o his_o own_o but_o rely_v upon_o the_o righteousness_n of_o another_o even_o the_o righteousness_n of_o jesus_n christ_n 3._o although_o there_o be_v a_o kind_n of_o faith_n in_o adam_n under_o the_o covenant_n of_o work_n end_n faith_n not_o require_v in_o both_o for_o the_o same_o end_n yet_o that_o faith_n be_v not_o for_o this_o end_n and_o purpose_n to_o be_v the_o condition_n of_o that_o covenant_n there_o it_o be_v a_o part_n of_o his_o righteousness_n but_o be_v not_o stipulate_v as_o the_o condition_n of_o life_n as_o that_o upon_o which_o his_o life_n and_o justification_n do_v depend_v but_o the_o faith_n require_v in_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n come_v in_o purposely_o as_o the_o condition_n of_o life_n and_o justification_n for_o the_o sinner_n 2._o quest._n whither_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n do_v not_o require_v work_n as_o well_o both_o whether_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n require_v work_n work_n be_v require_v in_o both_o as_o the_o covenant_n of_o nature_n or_o of_o work_n if_o so_o what_o difference_n be_v there_o then_o between_o they_o as_o to_o do_v sol._n questionless_a the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n require_v

as_o require_v in_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n they_o differ_v in_o their_o spring_n and_o fountain_n and_o they_o differ_v in_o their_o manner_n of_o lie_v wherein_o this_o difference_n lie_v work_v but_o herein_o especial_o they_o differ_v as_o to_o these_o covenant_n that_o in_o the_o one_o they_o be_v a_o condition_n of_o life_n but_o in_o the_o other_o testimony_n and_o evidence_n of_o life_n in_o the_o one_o they_o be_v the_o matter_n of_o life_n and_o justification_n in_o the_o other_o they_o be_v nothing_o at_o all_o they_o be_v no_o part_n no_o reason_n they_o have_v no_o
