What do you mean by the Covenant of workes A. I mean the (g) Deu. 10.4 ten Commandements called the (h) Mal. 4.4 Law of Moses which was delivered upon (i) Deu. 29.1 Mount Horch or (k) Gal. 4.24 Synai unto Moses for the children of Israel Q. Doe you then take the ten Commandements for the Covenant of works A. Yea sure and they are often in Scripture called a (l) Deu. 4.13.5.23 Is 24 5. Jer. 31.32 Heb. 8.9 Covenant Q. But was not that the Covenant of works which God made with Adam in Paradise before his fall A. I deny not but that it was of the nature of a (m) Hos 6.7 Like Adam they transgressed the Covenant Covenant yet we find no more expressed but a command (n) Gen. 2.17 doe this and live with a penalty In the day thou eatest thereof thou shalt dye but there is no promise made of eternal salvation upon the keeping of it Q. But do not you conceive that God did intend to give salvation unto Adam if he had kept that command though God did not expresly promise it A. I doe conceive that Adam should have continued in that happy state he was in and should never have dyed if he had not sinned for (o) Ro. 5.12 1 Cor. 15.21 by sin came death Q. What might be the reason why God did not declare as well the promise as the command and penalty A. Though this be a secret and known perfectly onely to God himselfe yet we may judge probably by the event that God reserved and kept secret to himselfe that part of his mind which concerned Adams eternall salvation because he intended not that Adam should be saved by his works Q. How does it appear that God did not intend to save Adam by his works A. Because God had pre-ordained determined and appointed another (p) Eph. 1.3 4 5. 2 Tim 1.9 2 Thes 2 13. Rev. 13.8.17.8 way and means viz. Jesus Christ to save Adam and part of his posterity Q. If God had pre-ordained Christ as the means of mens salvation was there not then a necessity that Adam should sin A. Although God put no necessity upon Adam to sinne but left him to his free choice yet there was a necessity of bringing to light that heavenly plot and contrivement wherein lay hid the mystery of Gods counsell and the wonderment of mens salvation which could not be revealed untill Adam had sinned and so with reverence be it mentioned the Son of man gave vent unto the grace of God and the fall of naturall Adam to the exaltation of spirituall Adam Jesus Christ Q. But was there any agreement about the salvation of men before Adam sinned A. Yes there was an agreement and Covenant (q) Es 42.6.55.3 Zac. 6.13 Es 50 5 6. betweene God the father his (r) Who was then the word of God Joh. 1.1 Son Jesus Christ Q. When was that Covenant made with Jesus Christ A. (s) Tit. 1.2 2 Tim. 1.9 Before the world began Objection But is it not in the Greek from the foundation or beginning of the world meaning that the Covenant was made with Adam immediatly after his fall and not with Christ before the foundation of the world A. The Greeke will not beare it so for 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 which are the words in both places before cited signifie before the foundation of the world or beginings of times for note that the preposition 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 when it governes a Genitive Case as here it doth it signifies before as 1 Pet. 1.20 1 Cor. 4 5. 2 Tim. 4.21 so Ephes 1.4 1 Pet. 1.20 1 Cor 4.5 2 Tim. 4.21 Eph. 14. we are chosen in Christ before the foundation of the world the word before there is in Greek 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 if election be before the foundation of the world as sure it is then also by the same ground a Covenant or promise is made before the foundation of the world for the word proves the one as well as the other Q. But where in Scripture doe you finde that agreement if there were any made with Christ before the foundation of the world called a Covenant A. I suppose the word Covenant could not be found in Scripture in this sense and case yet if there be found words of the same signification and holding forth the truth of the thing it is sufficient for many words are used by the godly and learned which are not in Scripture as Trinity Sacrament c. now in Scripture it is called the (t) Tit. 1.2 the promise of eternall life and so is the Covenant that God made with Abraham called the (u) Gal. 3.18 19 22. promise 2. We have the word Covenant applyed in this case as in Zach. 9.11 As for thee by the bloud of thy Covenant or whose Covenant is by blood here God the Father speakes to Christ with relation to some Covenant between them both and we read of no other but this fore-spoken of Psa 89.28 Also in Psal 89.28 God the Father saith againe My Covenant shall stand fast with him i.e. with Christ if you consider 1 v. 25. he saith that he would set his hand or power in the Sea that is Christ should have power to governe the Nations 2 v. 27. he is called Gods first begotten son a title most properly given to Christ Rom. 8.29 Col. 1.15 3 v. 29.

Esau or wherein was the people of the Jewes to bee preferred before other people that he should enter into Covenant with them God himselfe shewes the reason thereof that it was because he (a) Rom. 9.13 Deut. 7 7 8. freely loved them and because it was his pleasure so to doe Ob. But Abraham was a Beleever and circumcised and so were Isaac Jacob and the Israelites and therefore more worthy and deserving then others A. Abraham as I said before was an Idolater and dwelling in (b) Act. 7.1.2 Caldea a land full of (c) Ezek. 23.14 Idolaters Diviners (d) Dan. 2.2 and 4.7 South sayers Sorcerers (e) Job 1.17 Robbers and Spoylers yea the most (f) Hab. 1.6 7 vile hasty bitter persecuting'st and prophanest Nation in the world Yet God out of such an ungodly generation and race cho oses and (g) Esa 51.2 calls out Abraham blesses him and enters into Covenant with him whilst he was yet (h) Rom 4.10 uncircumcised And was not Jacob Esau (i) Mal. 1.2 his brother begotten and born of the same father and mother and at the same time And were not the Jewes (k) Ezek. 16 6 7 8. polluted in their blood naked bare filthy unsavoury and unlovely when the Lord looked upon them and entred into Covenant with them Secondly It may be called a free Covenant a 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Veethenah ber thi they are very significant Ethenah from nathan dare and berith from barah eligit because it s given unto those that partake of it Gen. 17.2 the words I will make my Covenant are in the Hebrew I will give my Covenant God saith as it were thus to Abraham Abraham I have chosen thee and thy seed and that onely out of my free love and not out of any merit or demerit in thee and I will enter into a Covenant of grace with thee yea God to assure the Gentiles that it was as free unto them as unto Abraham and the beleeving Jewes he saith twice in one (b) Esa 42 6-49.8 Prophesie that he will give Christ for a Covenant or Christ the Covenant unto them Thirdly because there is no condition required of men when God enters into Covenant with them but what he gives with and through the Covenant unto them for were there any previous precedent condition required of men as from men and not given of God it could not be free For if one man did give to another man but one pound for an estate which is worth a thousand pound it cannot be said that this estate is altogether given for there is some though an invaluable confideration given for and towards it In like manner were man tyed to give to or bring to God any thing as a condition and consideration of the Covenant it could not be altogether free nor properly called a Covenant of grace Ob. But is not faith the condition of the Covenant of grace A. If faith be a (a) Indeed faith is mentioned after the forme and manner of a condition but in truth it is the gift of God as well as life eternall Perkins on Gal. p. 157 condition of the Covenant of grace yet it is such a condition as is promised in the Covenant and freely given by God and therefore not in man nor expected from man till first bestowed on man and wrought in man by God himselfe And therefore God when he enters into Covenant with men doth not come unto them and say men I am come unto you and I am willing to make a Covenant with you if you doe beleeve then I will bee your God and you shall be my people by Covenant but he speaks absolutely positively and without any condition (b) Ier. 31.33 34. I will put my law in their inward parts and write it in their hearts and will be their God and they shall be my people and I will forgive their iniquity and remember their sin no more Marke here is no condition at all but every word free and absolute Ob. Nay Sir There is no doubt to be made of it but that faith is a condition of the Covenant of grace for there is nothing more ordinary in Scripture especially the New Testament then to make faith or beleeving a condition of Justification and Salvation as Act. 13.39 he that beleeveth is justified from all things and John 3.36 He that beleeveth on the Son hath everlasting life So that sure faith is the condition of the Covenant of grace and there is no other condition A. 1. It is true and it is not denied but that faith is necessary to Salvation and likewise to Justification in a sense which 1 intend afterwards to treat of yea I affirm as the Scriptures prove at large that no unbeleever shall be saved But that is not the question but the question is whether man must have faith in him before God enters into Covenant with him or whether unbeliefe excludes and barres God from making the Covenant with those that he intends to make it with 2. Whereas you say that faith is the onely condition of the Covenant consider seriously whether the Gospell doth not require (a) Joh. 17.3 2 Thes 1.8 knowledge (b) Lu. 13.3.5 repentance (c) Joh. 3.35 Mar. 18.3 conversion (d) Heb. 12.14 sanctification c. to be in those that are saved If so then I know no reason but that these may be called conditions of the Covenant as well as faith But sure neither these nor faith are found in men when God comes to enter Covenant with them but they are brought with the Covenant yea they are (e) Ezek. 34 25 30 31. Heb 8.11 Ezek. 36.25 26. particular members and branches of the Covenant and therefore cannot be before the Covenant Ob. But is it not Gods part to propound and offer the Covenant unto men and mens part to receive and accept of the Covenant being offered and tendred unto them by God A. It is Gods part not onely to propound and to offer the Covenant but it is his part also yea his (a) Ez. 20.37 promise to bring men into the bonds of the Covenant and to worke a (b) Psa 110.3 Phil. 2.13 willingnesse and (c) Es 40.29 Joh. 1.12 ability in men to receive what he offers and gives to (d) Mat. 12.21 Phil. 1.29 beleeve what he promises and to (e) Ro. 15.18 obey what he commands Ob. Hereby you free the creature from doing any thing at all and you lay the whole worke upon God and so man by this may sit still and doe nothing A. Although God (f) Esa 30.7 saith in another case of men it is their strength to sit still for before God puts forth himselfe to worke on and in men they can do nothing yet this doth not exclude men at all from doing But it shews that at Gods first entring into Covenant with men they are meer passives having no
in which he freely and absolutely conveyes all his estate riches benefits blessings and merits to be divided distributed and disposed among his poore friends the children of men that beleeve in him And that this Testament might bee of force Christ the Testator dyes otherwise the Testament (z) Heb. 8.16 17. could not bee of force and the holy Spirit is (a) Joh. 16.13.14 appointed by Christ as Executor to see this his will performed Q. Was there no necessity for Christ to dye save onely to confirme the Covenant A. Yes there were many other ends and reasons of Christ his death Q. What are they A. First To (b) Lu. 24.44 fulfill the Scriptures viz. the Ceremonies (c) Mat 26.56 Prophesies and (d) Mat. 5.17 Commandements or morall Law and that this was a maine end of Christs death it clearly appeares by our Saviours (e) Mat 26.54 owne words when Peter would have defended him with the sword but how then saith Christ to him shall the Scriptures be fullfilled (f) Lu. 24.44 Ioh. 19.36 again all things saith he must be fullfilled that are written in the Law of Moses in the Prophets and in the Psalmes concerning me Q. How did Christ by his death fullfill the Ceremoniall Law A. The Ceremonial Law which confisted in types and shadowes as in slaying and offering of sacrifices in shedding of blood when Christ who was the (g) Ich. 1.7 truth here is put in opposition to ceremonies truth and substance of them suffered they were expired finished executed in which sense the word fulfilled is (h) Act. 13.25 Rev. 15.8 taken yea the whole bulke and body of that law with all that belonged thereunto was as I have hinted before so absolutly and perfectly (i) Eph. 2.15 the Greeke word 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 signifies destroyed taken away and (k) Col. 2.14 nailed to Christs crosse that those Ceremonies were afterwards to bee looked upon in respect of observance as if they never had been at all and no more to be (l) Col. 2.20.21 22. by ordinances is meant the ceremonies Heb. 9.1.20 used then if they had never beene commanded by God Obj. If they were so done away by the death of Christ why had they not beene put out of the Bible A. They are not left in the bible that men may retaine and use those Ceremonies now in Gospel dayes as Prelaticall and Demi-Jewish-Priests did and stil do maintaine viz. a materiall Temple or Church therefore Temple or Church-worship Altars therefore offerings and sacrifices Piests therefore Tythes and Oblation but they are left that Jewes and Gentiles may compare the Type with the Antitype that they might beleeve Likewise to shew the great difference between the administration of the Law which the Jewes were under and the administration of the Gospell which the Gentiles are now under and that wee Gentiles may praise God for our freedome from such Obj. If they were done away by the death of Christ why then did the Apostles after his death use any of them A. 1. The Apostles did use but very few of them and that very seldome and but for a short time neither then to allow of them or confirme them but partly because that the Jewith people were not as yet (n) Ac 13.45 46 47. rejected nor unchurched and partly because of their (o) 1 cor 9.20 21 22. weaknesse hoping thereby to win them But wee do not find that the Apostles did ever do this among the Gentiles as I remember but once that (p) ga 2.12.13 Peter did conforme out of feare and dissimulation and then Paul reproves him (q) v. 11. 14. publickly and that justly too for it 2. The Apostles did both (r) Act 15.6 7 10 12 19 20. joyntly and (s) Ac 17 24 7.48 severally (t) Ac 21.21 teach and (u) Ac 21.25 write against the observation of those Ceremonies making the (w) 2 cor 11 14. with Gal 6 12. Phil 3.2 teachers thereof false and the (x) Gal 5 2. 4 9 11. observers thereof faith lesse Obj. Nay the Apostles were so farre from taking away all the Ceremonies that at a publicke Assembly they rather establish some of them Act 15.29 as blood and things strangled and things offered to Idols they do prohibite to be eaten which things were Ceremoniall and prohibited in that Law A. 1. You are to understand that the Church of Antioch and some other Churches to whom the Apostles wrote and sent their decrees consisted both of Jewes and Gentiles and so were guilty of giving offence each to other as some by Fornication others by eating things offered to Idols things strangled and blood The Apostles for the reconciling of them each to other and likewise to subdue sinne amongst them joyn eating of things offered to Idols things strangled and blood being now but things indifferent with Fornication which was absolutely evill that so both parties without upbraiding each other might close in love and eschew sin Note also that in three Greek copies there is this added at the end of the (e) Staphanus Greek Testament 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 b. 1 so after the word fornication in the 20 verse 20 verse that whatsoever ye would not have done to you do ye not to others 2. Those decrees concerning meate offered to Idols things strangled and blood did not then binde their consciences For doubtlesse they might have eaten thereof without sin in case they did not offend others by eating much lesse doth it binde Christians now Therefore be not scrupulous in this but read the (f) Ro 14 14 1 Cor 8 8. 1 Tim 4.5 Act 10 14 15. These Scriptures shew that all things edible may be eaten now in Gospell days without sin Scriptures that are sufficient to resolve you herein Q. How did Christ fullfill the Prophesies by his death A. He (z) So the word is taken in Psal 20.4 1 Kin. 2.27 made good those Prophesies that foretold his death as for example compare Zach. 11.12 with Matth. 27.3 and Esa 50.6 with Matth. 26.67 and Psal 69.21 with Matth. 27.34 Esa 53.12 with 22.37 and Psa 22.18 and Mat. 27.35 These and severall other paralleld Scriptures doe plainly shew that Christs sufferings were a true and lively exposition of the Prophets and that the words of the Prophets without variation or contradiction were true in him Q But how could it possibly be that the Jewes who knew all these Prophesies did not see them fulfilled in Christ A. Doubtlesse that (a) 2 Thes 2.10.11 Scripture was verified in them Because they received not the love of the truth that they might be saved God sent them strong delusions that they should believe a lye they partly (b) Mar. 13.15 shut their eyes against the truth and partly (c) Joh. 12.40 Esa 6.8 God blinded their eyes and hardened their hearts and partly the (d) 2
their conversion Q. What are the promises that God formerly made with the Iewes when they were a Church A. 1 That he would bee their God and King sometimes he speaks it conditionally and sometimes absolutely Ier. 7.23 and 11.4.24.7 Eze. 11.20 Hos 13.10 2 That they should be his peculiar and chosen people Exo. 19.5 6.
