the_o first_o be_v call_v the_o old_a covenant_n the_o second_o the_o new_a covenant_n although_o both_o these_o covenant_n have_v several_a revelation_n ministration_n or_o edition_n as_o first_o the_o covenant_n of_o work_n be_v primary_o make_v with_o the_o first_o adam_n and_o all_o mankind_n in_o he_o by_o virtue_n of_o which_o he_o be_v justify_v by_o his_o own_o perfect_a obedience_n

justification_n or_o righteousness_n can_v be_v by_o the_o law_n or_o by_o any_o law_n because_o man_n have_v sin_v and_o be_v now_o unable_a to_o answer_v the_o law_n of_o perfect_a obedience_n all_o have_v sin_v and_o come_v short_a of_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n we_o must_v therefore_o now_o be_v justify_v by_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n through_o the_o redemption_n which_o be_v in_o jesus_n christ_n but_o though_o man_n have_v lose_v his_o power_n to_o obey_v yet_o god_n have_v not_o lose_v his_o power_n to_o command_v therefore_o as_o dr._n owen_n show_v it_o be_v add_v or_o reveal_v in_o the_o wisdom_n of_o god_n as_o instructive_a as_o also_o to_o show_v the_o excellency_n of_o that_o state_n and_o condition_n in_o which_o we_o be_v create_v with_o the_o honour_n that_o god_n

man_n once_o have_v and_o by_o his_o transgression_n lose_v and_o also_o what_o a_o righteousness_n it_o be_v which_o the_o holiness_n of_o god_n do_v require_v in_o order_n to_o our_o justification_n in_o his_o sight_n for_o the_o law_n doubtless_o result_v not_o from_o god_n as_o a_o simple_a act_n of_o his_o sovereignty_n but_o also_o as_o a_o transcript_n of_o the_o holiness_n of_o his_o nature_n and_o rectitude_n of_o his_o will_n for_o without_o a_o sinless_a or_o perfect_a righteousness_n no_o flesh_n can_v ever_o be_v justify_v in_o god_n sight_n and_o therefore_o such_o a_o righteousness_n must_v either_o be_v inherent_a in_o we_o or_o else_o according_a to_o the_o wisdom_n and_o grace_n of_o god_n be_v impute_v to_o we_o and_o therefore_o he_o choose_v his_o belove_a

the_o law_n which_o we_o have_v break_v and_o for_o which_o breach_n his_o justice_n by_o christ_n death_n must_v be_v satisfy_v also_o therefore_o the_o compact_a or_o gracious_a covenant_n that_o

set_v up_o as_o mediator_n from_o everlasting_a be_v not_o then_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n as_o ancient_n we_o be_v consider_v in_o he_o because_o choose_v in_o he_o though_o christ_n

by_o decree_n and_o purpose_n the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n in_o my_o text_n be_v call_v a_o everlasting_a covenant_n and_o it_o may_v refer_v before_o time_n as_o well_o as_o after_o all_o time_n

this_o covenant_n must_v be_v the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n because_o it_o be_v make_v with_o david_n the_o son_n of_o jesse_n i_o mean_v it_o refer_v to_o he_o in_o christ_n and_o the_o like_a with_o all_o believer_n also_o as_o all_o their_o salvation_n and_o desire_n it_o can_v rational_o be_v suppose_v but_o that_o david_n in_o my_o text_n do_v allude_v to_o the_o covenant_n mention_v in_o this_o psalm_n although_o none_o be_v actual_o bring_v into_o it_o until_o they_o believe_v or_o have_v actual_a union_n with_o christ_n yet_o make_v with_o all_o believer_n in_o christ_n from_o

with_o we_o in_o he_o as_o our_o head_n and_o if_o so_o then_o say_v i_o if_o that_o which_o they_o call_v the_o covenant_n of_o redemption_n be_v distinct_a and_o not_o this_o when_o be_v the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n make_v with_o he_o for_o we_o it_o must_v either_o be_v make_v before_o time_n or_o after_o time_n beside_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o it_o be_v by_o the_o blood_n of_o
