A41355	The marrow of modern divinity touching both the covenant of works, and the covenant of grace, with their use and end, both in the time of the Old Testament, and in the time of the New : wherein every one may cleerly see how far forth he bringeth the law into the case of justification, and so deserverh the name of legalist : and how far forth he rejecteth the law, in the case of sanctification, and so deserveth the name of Antinomist : with the middle path between them both, which by Iesus Christ leadeth to eternall life : in a dialogue, betwixt Evangelista, a minister of the Gospel, Nomista, a legalist, Antinomista, an Antinomian, and Neophytus, a young Christian / by the author, E.F. ; before the which there is prefixed the commendatory epistles of divers divines of great esteem in the citie of London ; whereunto is also added, the substance of a	Fisher, Edward, fl. 1627-1655.; Hamilton, Patrick, 1504?-1528.

to_o be_v the_o matter_n of_o the_o law_n of_o work_n and_o you_o have_v also_o say_v that_o the_o law_n of_o work_n be_v as_o much_o to_o say_v as_o the_o covenant_n of_o work_n whereby_o it_o seem_v to_o i_o you_o hold_v that_o the_o law_n of_o the_o ten_o commandment_n be_v the_o matter_n of_o the_o covenant_n of_o work_n which_o god_n make_v with_o all_o mankind_n in_o adam_n before_o his_o

signify_v the_o moral_a law_n and_o the_o moral_a law_n strict_o and_o proper_o take_v signify_v the_o covenant_n of_o work_n nom._n but_o sir_n what_o be_v the_o reason_n you_o call_v it_o but_o the_o matter_n of_o the_o covenant_n of_o work_n evan._n the_o reason_n why_o i_o rather_o choose_v to_o call_v the_o law_n of_o the_o ten_o commandment_n the_o matter_n of_o the_o covenant_n of_o work_n than_o the_o covenant_n itself_o be_v because_o i_o conceive_v that_o the_o matter_n of_o it_o can_v proper_o be_v call_v the_o covenant_n of_o work_n except_o the_o form_n be_v put_v upon_o

therefore_o till_o then_o it_o be_v not_o a_o covenant_n of_o work_n betwixt_o god_n and_o all_o mankind_n in_o adam_n as_o for_o example_n you_o know_v that_o although_o a_o servant_n have_v a_o

thereupon_o agree_v even_o so_o though_o man_n at_o the_o first_o have_v power_n to_o yield_v perfect_a and_o perpetual_a obedience_n to_o all_o the_o ten_o commandment_n and_o god_n have_v a_o eternal_a life_n to_o bestow_v upon_o he_o yet_o be_v there_o not_o a_o covenant_n betwixt_o they_o till_o they_o be_v thereupon_o agree_v nom._n but_o sir_n you_o know_v there_o be_v no_o mention_n

betwixt_o god_n and_o man_n yet_o have_v we_o there_o record_v what_o may_v amount_v to_o as_o much_o for_o god_n provide_v and_o promise_v to_o adam_n eternal_a happiness_n and_o call_v for_o perfect_a obedience_n which_o appear_v from_o god_n threaten_v gen._n 2.17_o for_o if_o man_n must_v die_v if_o he_o disobey_v it_o imply_v strong_o that_o god_n covenant_n be_v with_o he_o for_o life_n if_o he_o obey_v nom._n but_o sir_n you_o know_v the_o word_n covenant_n signify_v a_o mutual_a promise_n 39_o bargain_n and_o obligation_n betwixt_o two_o party_n now_o though_o it_o be_v imply_v that_o god_n promise_v man_n to_o give_v he_o life_n if_o he_o obey_v yet_o we_o read_v not_o that_o man_n promise_v to_o be_v obedient_a evan._n i_o pray_v take_v notice_n that_o god_n do_v not_o always_o tie_v man_n to_o verbal_a expression_n 5._o but_o do_v often_o contract_v the_o covenant_n in_o real_a impression_n in_o the_o heart_n and_o frame_n of_o the_o creature_n and_o this_o be_v the_o manner_n of_o covenant_v with_o man_n at_o the_o first_o for_o god_n have_v furnish_v his_o soul_n with_o a_o understand_a mind_n 7.27_o whereby_o he_o may_v discern_v good_a from_o evil_n and_o right_a from_o wrong_n and_o not_o only_o so_o but_o also_o in_o his_o will_n be_v most_o great_a uprightness_n and_o his_o instrumental_a part_n be_v orderly_o frame_v to_o obedience_n the_o truth_n be_v god_n do_v engrave_v in_o man_n soul_n wisdom_n and_o knowledge_n of_o his_o will_n and_o work_n and_o integrity_n in_o the_o whole_a soul_n and_o such_o a_o fitness_n in_o all_o the_o

god_n so_o that_o man_n endow_v with_o these_o quality_n be_v able_a to_o serve_v god_n perfect_o nom._n but_o sir_n how_o can_v the_o law_n of_o the_o ten_o commandment_n be_v the_o matter_n of_o this_o covenant_n of_o work_n when_o they_o be_v not_o write_v as_o you_o know_v till_o the_o time_n of_o moses_n evan._n though_o they_o be_v not_o write_v in_o table_n of_o stone_n until_o the_o time_n of_o moses_n yet_o be_v they_o write_v in_o the_o table_n of_o man_n heart_n in_o the_o time_n of_o adam_n for_o we_o read_v that_o man_n be_v create_v in_o the_o image_n or_o likeness_n of_o god_n 4.34_o gen._n 1.27_o and_o the_o ten_o commandment_n be_v a_o doctrine_n agree_v with_o the_o eternal_a wisdom_n and_o justice_n that_o be_v in_o god_n wherein_o he_o have_v so_o paint_v out_o his_o own_o nature_n that_o it_o do_v in_o a_o manner_n express_v the_o very_a image_n of_o god_n and_o do_v not_o the_o apostle_n say_v that_o the_o image_n of_o god_n consist_v in_o knowledge_n

say_v m._n rollock_n it_o can_v not_o well_o stand_v with_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n to_o make_v a_o covenant_n with_o man_n under_o the_o condition_n of_o holy_a &_o good_a work_n &_o perfect_a

yet_o i_o can_v but_o marvel_v that_o god_n in_o make_v the_o covenant_n with_o man_n do_v make_v mention_n of_o no_o other_o commandment_n then_o that_o of_o the_o forbid_a fruit_n evan._n do_v not_o

3.10_o do_v express_v and_o indeed_o in_o that_o one_o commandment_n the_o whole_a worship_n of_o god_n do_v consist_v as_o obedience_n honour_n love_n confidence_n and_o religious_a fear_n together_o with_o the_o outward_a abstinence_n from_o sin_n and_o reverend_a respect_n to_o the_o voice_n of_o god_n yea_o herein_o also_o consist_v his_o love_n and_o so_o his_o whole_a duty_n to_o his_o
