this_o covenant_n have_v respect_n to_o the_o efficacious_a and_o meritorious_a blood_n of_o his_o son_n otherwise_o he_o can_v never_o have_v make_v such_o a_o promise_n here_o of_o be_v such_o a_o gracious_a god_n to_o abraham_n and_o his_o seed_n for_o ever_o it_o be_v judicious_o say_v of_o a_o learned_a author_n that_o in_o this_o covenant_n the_o lord_n take_v the_o chief_a of_o the_o seed_n of_o abraham_n viz._n the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n to_o be_v the_o mediator_n and_o surety_n of_o it_o and_o so_o through_o he_o be_v all_o the_o promise_n and_o blessing_n of_o the_o

and_o 8.6_o and_o as_o it_o be_v make_v with_o abraham_n and_o his_o seed_n in_o the_o hand_n of_o christ_n so_o when_o it_o be_v translate_v unto_o the_o gentile_n it_o be_v by_o and_o through_o he_o and_o confirm_v unto_o they_o by_o he_o gal._n 3.14_o that_o the_o blessing_n of_o abraham_n may_v come_v on_o the_o gentile_n through_o jesus_n christ_n that_o we_o may_v receive_v the_o promise_n of_o the_o spirit_n through_o faith_n the_o blessing_n of_o abraham_n viz._n the_o covenant_n of_o abraham_n rom._n 15.8_o now_o i_o say_v that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v a_o minister_n of_o the_o circumcision_n for_o the_o truth_n of_o god_n to_o confirm_v the_o promise_n make_v unto_o the_o father_n he_o be_v the_o minister_n of_o circumcision_n the_o great_a instructor_n of_o the_o jew_n and_o do_v first_o confirm_v the_o covenant_n to_o they_o and_o then_o to_o the_o gentile_n ver._n 9_o and_o that_o the_o gentile_n may_v glorify_v god_n for_o his_o mercy_n viz._n for_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n through_o christ_n by_o and_o through_o who_o the_o bless_a covenant_n be_v confirm_v unto_o they_o so_o that_o we_o may_v see_v that_o christ_n be_v the_o mediator_n of_o this_o covenant_n make_v with_o abraham_n and_o his_o seed_n witness_v those_o many_o type_n of_o christ_n which_o be_v annex_v unto_o it_o viz._n their_o expiatory_a and_o propitiatory_a sacrifice_n enjoin_v the_o

pardon_n of_o sin_n without_o work_n therefore_o than_o it_o can_v be_v a_o covenant_n of_o work_n it_o hold_v out_o pardon_v of_o sin_n free_o by_o believe_v in_o christ_n the_o covenant_n of_o work_n we_o know_v hold_v forth_o no_o pardon_n of_o sin_n no_o mercy_n to_o transgressor_n that_n violate_v and_o break_v the_o small_a point_n of_o it_o gal._n 3.10_o deut._n 27.26_o ay_o but_o this_o covenant_n do_v it_o hold_v out_o pardon_v of_o sin_n to_o the_o vile_a and_o worst_a of_o sinner_n to_o those_o that_o do_v barbarous_o and_o malicious_o pour_v out_o the_o blood_n of_o the_o mediator_n of_o this_o covenant_n exod._n 2.37_o 38_o 39_o this_o be_v a_o covenant_n that_o do_v free_o offer_v remission_n and_o pardon_n of_o sin_n without_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n abraham_n himself_o through_o this_o covenant_n by_o believe_v in_o the_o mediator_n and_o testator_n of_o it_o be_v justify_v and_o pardon_v read_v rom._n 4.1_o 2_o 3_o 4_o 5_o etc._n etc._n that_o must_v sure_o be_v a_o covenant_n of_o grace_n that_o bring_v in_o remission_n of_o sin_n and_o justification_n by_o christ_n through_o faith_n god_n do_v promise_v to_o be_v a_o god_n to_o he_o and_o his_o

that_o the_o lord_n do_v command_v this_o seal_n sign_n or_o token_n to_o be_v set_v to_o the_o covenant_n to_o confirm_v and_o establish_v it_o gen._n 17.10_o this_o be_v my_o covenant_n which_o
