A79028	Two solemne covenants made between God and man: viz. [brace] the covenant of workes, and the covenant of grace. [brace] Clearly laid open, distinguished, and vindicated from many dangerous opinions; the right knowledge of which [sic] will be very profitable to all those that have escaped the first, and are confirmed in the second at the Sacrament. January 15. 1646. Imprimatur. John Downame.	Calamy, Edmund, 1600-1666.	1647 (1647)	Wing C268; Thomason E373_6; ESTC R201327	30,224	34

that_o he_o who_o shall_v presume_v either_o against_o man_n law_n or_o god_n law_n as_o now_o it_o be_v make_v useful_a to_o we_o do_v exceed_o aggravate_v his_o sin_n to_o treasure_n up_o wrath_n

sinai_n to_o israel_n be_v not_o give_v as_o a_o covenant_n but_o as_o a_o rule_n of_o life_n for_o those_o already_o in_o covenant_n therefore_o the_o moral_a law_n at_o sinai_n need_v no_o
