to_o the_o place_n by_o he_o quote_v jer._n 31.32_o which_o he_o bring_v to_o prove_v that_o there_o be_v two_o covenant_n but_o gross_o mistake_v yet_o so_o far_o as_o we_o may_v go_v without_o breach_n of_o faith_n to_o the_o truth_n of_o christ_n in_o acknowledge_v two_o covenant_n shall_v not_o deny_v he_o friendship_n as_o namely_o first_o that_o there_o have_v be_v two_o covenant_n make_v with_o man_n the_o one_o of_o work_n before_o the_o fall_n in_o which_o man_n stand_v alone_o without_o a_o mediator_n under_o which_o covenant_n all_o mankind_n by_o nature_n lie_v to_o this_o

but_o as_o the_o law_n of_o christ_n put_v in_o the_o hand_n of_o a_o mediator_n therefore_o three_o it_o be_v never_o intend_v by_o god_n either_o in_o give_v circumcision_n to_o abraham_n or_o the_o

2.8_o be_v call_v a_o new_a commandment_n or_o law_n which_o yet_o be_v not_o new_a in_o itself_o but_o the_o same_o command_v as_o be_v give_v to_o israel_n of_o old_a leu._n 19.18_o and_o as_o the_o
