second_o covenant_n the_o truth_n consist_v of_o two_o part_n 1_o that_o jesus_n christ_n have_v take_v away_o the_o first_o the_o old_a covenant_n enough_o have_v be_v say_v in_o this_o matter_n

the_o second_o covenant_n my_o ground_n to_o prove_v it_o be_v these_o 1_o the_o scripture_n witness_v it_o the_o text_n be_v clear_a and_o full_a he_o take_v away_o the_o first_o that_o he_o may_v

away_o and_o 2_o cor._n 3._o 6_o 7._o 11._o 13._o the_o apostle_n clear_o state_v the_o two_o covenant_n the_o one_o he_o call_v the_o letter_n the_o other_o he_o call_v the_o spirit_n the_o old_a that_o be_v write_v in_o table_n of_o stone_n and_o do_v away_o and_o abolish_v the_o new_a that_o of_o the_o spirit_n which_o remain_v as_o most_o glorious_a and_o abide_v in_o all_o which_o scripture_n the_o truth_n present_v be_v full_o and_o plain_o prove_v 2_o the_o apostle_n appli_v the_o new_a covenant_n to_o the_o present_a time_n and_o state_n heb._n 8._o 8._o to_o 13._o chap._n 9_o 15._o all_o which_o prove_v it_o to_o be_v establish_v 3_o the_o death_n of_o the_o testator_n prove_v it_o heb._n 9_o 16_o 17._o for_o where_o a_o testament_n be_v there_o must_v also_o of_o

testament_n to_o be_v of_o force_n because_o christ_n be_v dead_a and_o therefore_o it_o concern_v man_n to_o take_v heed_n how_o they_o deny_v this_o covenant_n to_o be_v in_o force_n for_o to_o deny_v the_o covenant_n be_v to_o deny_v the_o death_n of_o the_o testator_n and_o to_o deny_v that_o be_v to_o deny_v the_o gospel_n oh_o therefore_o let_v man_n take_v heed_n how_o they_o deny_v the_o establishment_n of_o this_o covenant_n 4_o christ_n be_v the_o mediator_n of_o this_o covenant_n heb._n 9_o 15._o and_o he_o be_v not_o a_o mediator_n of_o a_o covenant_n not_o in_o force_n so_o that_o indeed_o to_o deny_v this_o new_a covenant_n to_o be_v establish_v be_v no_o less_o than_o to_o deny_v the_o mediatorship_n of_o christ_n for_o a_o mediator_n must_v be_v a_o mediator_n of_o some_o covenant_n or_o other_o and_o the_o old_a be_v do_v away_o that_o be_v not_o of_o grace_n but_o of_o work_n and_o the_o new_a be_v establish_v of_o which_o christ_n be_v the_o mediator_n so_o that_o christ_n must_v be_v the_o mediator_n of_o this_o new_a covenant_n or_o of_o no_o covenant_n which_o i_o believe_v none_o that_o fear_v the_o lord_n dare_v to_o deny_v 2_o what_o this_o second_o or_o new_a covenant_n be_v and_o although_o i_o have_v already_o in_o the_o distinguish_n of_o the_o covenant_n speak_v to_o this_o i_o shall_v more_o distinct_o in_o this_o place_n come_v to_o speak_v of_o the_o new_a covenant_n what_o it_o be_v and_o for_o my_o more_o clear_a handle_n of_o this_o great_a gospel_n truth_n i_o shall_v 1._o distinct_o state_n the_o covenant_n by_o itself_o 2._o in_o its_o part_n that_o so_o every_o true_a believer_n may_v not_o only_o come_v right_o to_o understand_v the_o covenant_n but_o likewise_o to_o draw_v such_o consolation_n from_o it_o as_o god_n have_v intend_v in_o it_o for_o his_o people_n for_o i_o do_v believe_v that_o darkness_n in_o this_o mystery_n have_v occasion_v many_o precious_a soul_n to_o lose_v very_o much_o of_o the_o precious_a consolation_n of_o the_o gospel_n the_o covenant_n than_o be_v god_n engagement_n and_o promise_n in_o jesus_n christ_n in_o way_n of_o covenant_n and_o ●●th_n free_o to_o do_v for_o
