there_o be_v two_o sort_n of_o people_n that_o run_v into_o very_o dangerous_a error_n concern_v this_o particular_a as_o 1._o the_o socinian_o that_o be_v of_o a_o opinion_n that_o all_o the_o patriarch_n and_o good_a man_n in_o the_o old_a testament_n do_v none_o of_o they_o go_v to_o heaven_n till_o christ_n come_v in_o the_o flesh_n a_o very_a uncharitable_a and_o ungodly_a opinion_n and_o 2._o there_o be_v other_o that_o hold_v that_o live_v in_o obedience_n to_o the_o moral_a law_n of_o moses_n be_v to_o tie_v the_o people_n to_o the_o covenant_n of_o work_n to_o be_v justify_v by_o it_o they_o hold_v the_o jew_n do_v not_o live_v under_o a_o covenant_n of_o grace_n till_o christ_n come_v but_o if_o it_o be_v so_o none_o of_o they_o can_v possible_o be_v save_v for_o by_o the_o work_n of_o law_n shall_v no_o flesh_n live_v be_v justify_v no_o man_n in_o the_o world_n can_v ever_o go_v to_o heaven_n by_o the_o covenant_n of_o work_n this_o i_o do_v only_o mention_v by_o the_o way_n that_o you_o may_v see_v and_o understand_v that_o since_o the_o fall_n of_o adam_n all_o man_n be_v save_v by_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n the_o covenant_n of_o work_n be_v no_o long_o in_o force_n then_o while_n adam_n live_v and_o continue_v in_o innocency_n but_o as_o soon_o as_o ever_o he_o fall_v the_o gospel_n be_v present_o preach_v unto_o they_o as_o well_o as_o it_o be_v to_o we_o now_o only_o it_o be_v preach_v unto_o they_o more_o dark_o and_o to_o we_o more_o clear_o christ_n be_v preach_v unto_o they_o as_o to_o come_v but_o he_o be_v preach_v unto_o we_o as_o come_v already_o quest_n two_o we_o come_v now_o to_o the_o second_o question_n to_o stir_v you_o up_o and_o put_v you_o upon_o enquiry_n how_o you_o may_v know_v whether_o you_o be_v the_o people_n that_o be_v in_o covenant_n with_o god_n yea_o or_o no_o so_o as_o that_o you_o can_v lay_v a_o just_a claim_n to_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n and_o to_o all_o the_o promise_n therein_o contain_v for_o salvation_n and_o life_n eternal_a by_o christ_n i_o shall_v handle_v this_o query_n not_o in_o the_o positive_a but_o in_o the_o negative_a part_n of_o it_o how_o you_o may_v know_v that_o you_o be_v not_o in_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n i_o shall_v give_v you_o three_o or_o four_o discovery_n of_o it_o answ_n 1_o 1._o thou_o oh_o man_n be_v not_o in_o covenant_n with_o thy_o god_n that_o have_v not_o yet_o break_v the_o league_n and_o covenant_n which_o thou_o have_v make_v with_o thy_o lust_n you_o that_o do_v still_o keep_v up_o and_o maintain_v the_o league_n and_o covenant_n with_o your_o lust_n and_o corruption_n you_o be_v not_o as_o yet_o come_v within_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n that_o man_n that_o make_v a_o covenant_n with_o death_n and_o hell_n can_v be_v under_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n and_o therefore_o you_o that_o have_v not_o break_v off_o your_o sin_n by_o repentance_n and_o righteousness_n and_o your_o iniquity_n by_o show_v mercy_n you_o that_o be_v in_o a_o wicked_a course_n and_o resolve_v to_o continue_v so_o lay_v no_o claim_n to_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n you_o that_o be_v engage_v to_o your_o lust_n you_o have_v be_v bad_a and_o you_o will_v be_v so_o still_o you_o have_v no_o interest_n in_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n 2._o you_o that_o think_v to_o be_v save_v by_o a_o covenant_n of_o work_n can_v be_v under_o a_o covenant_n of_o grace_n you_o that_o hope_v to_o be_v justify_v by_o work_n 4._o be_v fall_v from_o grace_n as_o the_o apostle_n say_v in_o gal._n 5_o 4._o you_o be_v fall_v from_o grace_n that_o be_v not_o that_o you_o be_v fall_v from_o the_o habit_n of_o grace_n you_o be_v fall_v from_o the_o doctrine_n of_o grace_n that_o hold_v out_o justification_n by_o christ_n that_o man_n shall_v never_o be_v save_v by_o christ_n that_o think_v he_o can_v be_v save_v by_o christ_n and_o therefore_o a_o papist_n live_v and_o die_v in_o this_o very_a opinion_n that_o he_o must_v be_v save_v by_o a_o covenant_n of_o work_n can_v be_v save_v if_o you_o be_v not_o cast_v out_o of_o yourselves_o so_o as_o to_o rely_v whole_o and_o only_o upon_o christ_n for_o life_n and_o salvation_n you_o can_v lay_v no_o just_a claim_n of_o be_v under_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n 3._o you_o be_v stranger_n to_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n that_o do_v make_v no_o conscience_n of_o break_v the_o engagement_n &_o promise_n you_o have_v make_v to_o god_n you_o that_o be_v careless_a of_o keep_v the_o covenant_n you_o have_v make_v with_o god_n this_o be_v a_o evident_a demonstration_n that_o you_o be_v not_o in_o covenant_n with_o god_n those_o that_o be_v in_o covenant_n with_o god_n make_v conscience_n of_o keep_v their_o covenant_n with_o god_n if_o in_o time_n of_o affliction_n &_o trouble_n you_o can_v make_v large_a promise_n to_o god_n of_o better_a obedience_n and_o yet_o afterward_o return_v with_o the_o dog_n to_o his_o vomit_n and_o be_v as_o bad_a or_o worse_a then_o ever_o you_o be_v this_o argue_v that_o you_o have_v no_o interest_n at_o all_o in_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n thus_o i_o have_v do_v with_o the_o second_o query_n the_o discovery_n of_o those_o that_o be_v not_o in_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n i_o have_v only_o now_o the_o application_n of_o the_o point_n to_o speak_v to_o and_o the_o use_v that_o i_o shall_v make_v of_o it_o shall_v be_v use_n 1._o for_o consolation_n to_o all_o that_o be_v in_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n you_o have_v a_o bundle_n of_o promise_n to_o which_o you_o may_v have_v recourse_n and_o lie_v claim_v to_o they_o as_o your_o own_o 2._o by_o way_n ofterrour_n to_o show_v the_o misery_n of_o those_o that_o be_v stranger_n to_o this_o covenant_n of_o grace_n 1._o this_o may_v be_v matter_n of_o great_a consolation_n to_o you_o that_o be_v under_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n that_o be_v in_o covenant_n with_o god_n this_o shall_v provoke_v you_o to_o joy_n and_o comfort_n in_o the_o consideration_n of_o the_o great_a happiness_n you_o enjoy_v in_o be_v under_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n from_o the_o misery_n you_o will_v be_v expose_v to_o do_v you_o live_v under_o a_o covenant_n of_o work_n and_o now_o beloved_n grace_n lend_v i_o your_o thought_n a_o little_a while_o i_o show_v you_o in_o fourteen_o particular_n the_o great_a happiness_n you_o be_v now_o in_o be_v in_o covenant_n with_o god_n under_o a_o covenant_n of_o grace_n from_o the_o misery_n you_o have_v lie_v under_o in_o be_v only_o under_o a_o covenant_n of_o work_n do_v this_o and_o live_v i_o shall_v but_o only_o name_v they_o to_o you_o and_o run_v over_o they_o very_o brief_o 1._o the_o covenant_n of_o work_n be_v give_v by_o god_n to_o adam_n as_o a_o creator_n but_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n be_v give_v by_o god_n to_o a_o believer_n as_o a_o father_n god_n have_v not_o this_o term_n of_o a_o father_n before_o the_o fall_n but_o only_o of_o a_o god_n and_o creator_n but_o be_v under_o a_o covenant_n of_o grace_n you_o may_v look_v upon_o that_o god_n that_o be_v only_o a_o creator_n to_o adam_n as_o a_o father_n to_o you_o 2._o this_o have_v be_v your_o misery_n under_o a_o covenant_n of_o work_n for_o that_o exact_v perfect_a obedience_n and_o do_v punish_v the_o offendor_n in_o case_n of_o disobedience_n but_o be_v under_o a_o covenant_n of_o grace_n the_o lord_n accept_v through_o christ_n of_o sincere_a obedience_n though_o it_o be_v not_o perfect_a 3._o the_o covenant_n of_o work_n be_v not_o content_v with_o perfect_a obedience_n neither_o unless_o it_o be_v personal_a it_o must_v not_o be_v perfect_a do_v for_o thou_o by_o another_o but_o do_v by_o thyself_o in_o thy_o own_o person_n but_o now_o the_o conant_n of_o grace_n accept_v of_o perfect_a obedience_n though_o it_o be_v not_o do_v by_o thyself_o but_o in_o the_o person_n of_o jesus_n christ_n god_n the_o father_n do_v as_o full_o accept_v of_o christ_n obey_v and_o fulfil_v his_o will_n in_o do_v and_o suffer_v in_o our_o behalf_n as_o if_o we_o have_v do_v and_o suffer_v what_o he_o do_v in_o our_o own_o person_n and_o herein_o lie_v the_o great_a happiness_n of_o a_o man_n under_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n 4._o the_o covenant_n of_o work_n be_v make_v by_o god_n to_o adam_n without_o a_o mediator_n there_o be_v no_o three_o person_n between_o god_n and_o adam_n but_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n be_v make_v by_o god_n with_o we_o in_o the_o hand_n of_o a_o mediator_n jesus_n christ_n you_o may_v conceive_v it_o thus_o suppose_v two_o man_n shall_v be_v at_o discord_n and_o variance_n one_o with_o another_o and_o a_o three_o person_n a_o friend_n to_o both_o these_o

that_o be_v fall_v out_o shall_v come_v and_o endeavour_v to_o decide_v the_o difference_n first_o go_v to_o one_o and_o desire_v he_o to_o be_v reconcile_v to_o the_o other_o and_o then_o go_v to_o the_o second_o and_o entreat_v he_o to_o be_v pacify_v towards_o the_o first_o till_o he_o have_v unite_v and_o reconcile_v they_o both_o together_o so_o it_o be_v here_o christ_n be_v a_o friend_n both_o to_o god_n and_o man_n he_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o he_o be_v husband_n of_o his_o church_n and_o be_v the_o mediator_n of_o the_o new_a covenant_n he_o come_v first_o to_o his_o father_n and_o say_v father_n i_o know_v that_o all_o mankind_n have_v break_v that_o first_o covenant_n which_o they_o make_v with_o thou_o and_o be_v thereby_o just_o liable_a to_o all_o that_o wrath_n &_o punishment_n due_a to_o the_o breach_n of_o it_o and_o i_o know_v thy_o anger_n and_o displeasure_n against_o they_o but_o i_o pray_v thou_o oh_o father_n be_v reconcile_v and_o well_o please_v with_o thy_o people_n give_v they_o the_o sanctification_n of_o their_o nature_n while_o they_o live_v here_o and_o give_v they_o heaven_n and_o happiness_n when_o they_o die_v and_o than_o christ_n come_v to_o believer_n and_o tell_v they_o sir_n i_o have_v procure_v peace_n and_o pardon_v and_o reconciliation_n for_o you_o the_o sanctification_n of_o your_o nature_n here_o and_o heaven_n when_o you_o die_v and_o therefore_o lift_v up_o your_o head_n with_o joy_n christ_n first_o go_v to_o his_o father_n and_o sue_v to_o he_o for_o pardon_n and_o then_o come_v to_o we_o and_o beg_v of_o we_o to_o be_v comfort_v 5._o adam_n under_o the_o covenant_n of_o work_n he_o have_v nothing_o but_o work_n to_o save_v he_o and_o he_o be_v to_o keep_v this_o covenant_n of_o work_n only_o by_o his_o own_o strength_n he_o have_v no_o strength_n but_o his_o own_o to_o perform_v any_o duty_n he_o have_v no_o bottom_n no_o foundation_n but_o himself_o to_o stand_v on_o but_o under_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n we_o be_v keep_v by_o the_o mighty_a power_n of_o god_n through_o faith_n unto_o salvation_n we_o be_v under_o a_o far_o better_a condition_n under_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n than_o adam_n be_v at_o first_o in_o the_o state_n of_o innocency_n for_o though_o he_o be_v perfect_o holy_a yet_o he_o be_v not_o immutable_o holy_a but_o now_o the_o foundation_n of_o god_n stand_v sure_a we_o be_v keep_v by_o the_o mighty_a power_n of_o god_n unto_o salvation_n 6._o the_o covenant_n of_o work_n if_o a_o man_n do_v once_o break_v they_o that_o do_v admit_v of_o no_o repentance_n have_v adam_n and_o eve_n after_o the_o fall_n weep_v their_o eye_n out_o or_o pray_v their_o heart_n out_o all_o will_v have_v do_v they_o no_o good_a repentance_n will_v no_o way_n avail_v the_o covenant_n of_o work_n as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o civil_a law_n if_o a_o man_n have_v commit_v murder_n the_o law_n do_v not_o inquire_v whether_o the_o man_n do_v repent_v or_o be_v sorry_a for_o what_o he_o have_v do_v no_o but_o the_o law_n take_v notice_n whether_o he_o have_v do_v the_o fact_n or_o no_o if_o he_o have_v he_o must_v die_v no_o repentance_n will_v avail_v but_o in_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n it_o be_v far_o otherwise_o for_o though_o you_o have_v do_v the_o fact_n and_o break_a god_n commandemant_n yet_o if_o you_o repent_v and_o mourn_v and_o grieve_v for_o the_o sin_n you_o have_v commit_v against_o god_n the_o lord_n will_v pardon_v and_o forgive_v they_o as_o if_o they_o have_v never_o be_v commit_v so_o that_o this_o be_v another_o great_a happiness_n you_o enjoy_v in_o be_v under_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n 7._o adam_n be_v under_o the_o covenant_n of_o work_n god_n take_v the_o very_a first_o forfeiture_n of_o break_v of_o this_o covenant_n and_o one_o sin_n make_v god_n to_o disannul_v that_o covenant_n whereas_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n be_v not_o make_v void_a nor_o disannul_v although_o you_o commit_v many_o sin_n as_o you_o may_v see_v in_o ro._n 5._o 16_o 17._o say_v the_o apostle_n there_o not_o as_o it_o be_v by_o one_o that_o sin_v so_o be_v the_o gift_n for_o the_o judgement_n be_v by_o one_o to_o condemnation_n but_o the_o free_a gift_n be_v of_o many_o offence_n unto_o justification_n that_o be_v under_o the_o covenant_n of_o work_n there_o one_o sin_n do_v condemn_v all_o the_o world_n but_o be_v under_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n there_o the_o free_a gift_n be_v of_o many_o offence_n unto_o justification_n many_o sin_n be_v pardon_v and_o many_o offence_n be_v pass_v over_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n pardon_v many_o sin_n and_o over_o look_v many_o weakness_n and_o fail_n though_o you_o break_v your_o covenant_n often_o time_n after_o time_n yet_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n shall_v not_o be_v break_v the_o first_o covenant_n be_v disanuld_v for_o one_o sin_n but_o the_o second_o covenant_n shall_v not_o be_v disanuld_v for_o many_o sin_n as_o you_o may_v see_v in_o psal_n 89._o 31_o 32_o 33._o say_v god_n there_o if_o they_o break_v my_o statute_n 33._o and_o keep_v not_o my_o commandment_n then_o will_v i_o visit_v their_o transgression_n with_o the_o

i_o not_o break_v nor_o alter_v the_o thing_n that_o be_v go_v out_o of_o my_o lip_n and_o so_o in_o psal_n 11._o 5._o the_o lord_n will_v ever_o be_v 5._o mindful_a of_o his_o covenant_n so_o that_o this_o be_v another_o part_n of_o your_o happiness_n 8._o pray_v observe_v this_o have_v adam_n continue_v still_o under_o the_o covenant_n of_o work_n and_o keep_v the_o covenant_n perform_v exact_a and_o perfect_a obedience_n to_o it_o yet_o he_o can_v never_o have_v come_v to_o heaven_n he_o shall_v have_v have_v only_o a_o ever_o last_a continuance_n in_o paradise_n he_o shall_v never_o have_v enjoy_v heaven_n but_o be_v under_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n that_o entitle_v you_o to_o everlasting_a salvation_n and_o happiness_n in_o heaven_n by_o jesus_n christ_n 9_o under_o the_o covenant_n of_o work_n though_o god_n do_v promise_v life_n to_o adam_n upon_o the_o perform_n of_o the_o covenant_n yet_o god_n do_v not_o promise_v pardon_n to_o adam_n upon_o the_o breach_n of_o the_o covenant_n god_n promise_v he_o thus_o do_v this_o and_o thou_o shall_v live_v but_o god_n do_v not_o promise_v he_o that_o though_o he_o shall_v break_v his_o command_n and_o sin_n against_o he_o yet_o he_o shall_v be_v save_v notwithstanding_o in_o the_o covenant_n of_o work_n there_o be_v no_o promise_n at_o all_o of_o pardon_n but_o only_o of_o life_n but_o under_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n you_o have_v a_o double_a promise_n 1._o you_o shall_v obtain_v life_n eternal_a and_o salvation_n by_o christ_n and_o 2._o you_o shall_v have_v all_o your_o sin_n pardon_v and_o wash_v away_o in_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n that_o you_o do_v commit_v against_o he_o you_o shall_v have_v pardon_n and_o remission_n of_o sin_n by_o christ_n so_o that_o no_o sin_n shall_v be_v charge_v upon_o you_o 10._o under_o the_o covenant_n of_o work_n god_n do_v accept_v the_o person_n for_o the_o worke-sake_n but_o under_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n he_o do_v accept_v of_o the_o work_n for_o the_o person_n sake_n and_o herein_o lie_v our_o happiness_n under_o the_o covenant_n of_o work_n god_n do_v accept_v of_o adam_n person_n mere_o because_o his_o work_n be_v altogether_o
