HOw
many
Covenants
did
God
make
with
men
concerning
their
salvation
?
How
are
these
two
Covenants
called
?
Why
doe
you
place
the
Covenant
of
grace
before
the
Covenant
of
workes
?
What
do
you
mean
by
the
Covenant
of
workes
?
Doe
you
then
take
the
ten
Commandements
for
the
Covenant
of
works
?
But
was
not
that
,
the
Covenant
of
works
,
which
God
made
with
in
Paradise
before
his
fall
doe
this
and
live
In
the
day
thou
eatest
thereof
thou
shalt
dye
,
But
do
not
you
conceive
that
God
did
intend
to
give
salvation
unto
if
he
had
kept
that
command
,
though
God
did
not
expresly
promise
it
.
What
might
be
the
reason
,
why
God
did
not
declare
as
well
the
promise
,
as
the
command
and
penalty
?
How
does
it
appear
that
God
did
not
intend
to
save
by
his
works
If
God
had
pre-ordained
Christ
as
the
means
of
mens
salvation
,
was
there
not
then
a
necessity
that
should
sin
But
was
there
any
agreement
about
the
salvation
of
men
before
When
was
that
Covenant
made
with
Jesus
Christ
?
But
is
it
not
in
the
Greek
,
from
the
foundation
or
beginning
of
the
world
,
meaning
that
the
Covenant
was
made
with
immediatly
after
his
fall
,
and
not
with
Christ
before
the
foundation
of
the
world
?
before
the
foundation
of
the
world
,
But
where
in
Scripture
doe
you
finde
that
agreement
(
if
there
were
any
)
made
with
Christ
before
the
foundation
of
the
world
,
called
a
Covenant
?
As
for
thee
by
the
bloud
of
thy
Covenant
,
or
whose
Covenant
is
by
blood
:
Gods
first
begotten
son
His
seed
should
endure
for
ever
,
I
have
sworne
that
I
will
not
lie
unto
David
,
therefore
this
Covenant
was
made
with
and
his
seed
,
i.e.
and
not
with
Christ
and
his
seed
.
Ro.
1.3
To
what
end
should
the
Covenant
of
Grace
be
made
before
man
stood
in
need
of
grace
,
for
till
had
sinned
,
there
was
no
necessity
,
or
misery
,
requiring
grace
or
mercy
?
What
was
the
nature
of
that
.
Covenant
which
God
the
Father
made
with
Jesus
Christ
?
Who
were
the
parties
concerned
in
this
Covenant
?
called
Christ
What
did
God
the
Father
then
promise
unto
Christ
on
his
part
?
What
were
those
things
that
God
the
Father
did
promise
Christ
,
as
belonging
to
the
worke
of
his
Mediation
?
What
were
those
things
which
God
the
Father
promised
Jesus
Christ
in
way
of
gratification
,
and
satisfaction
,
for
the
worke
of
his
mediation
?
What
was
the
summe
of
the
Covenant
promised
,
and
to
be
performed
on
Christs
part
?
What
followed
upon
the
making
of
this
Covenant
,
betweene
the
Father
and
Jesus
Christ
?
Greek
word
What
moved
God
the
Father
to
make
such
a
Covenant
?
But
did
not
God
foresee
that
those
(
for
whom
hee
covenanted
with
Christ
)
would
beleeve
and
doe
good
workes
,
and
was
not
their
foreseen
faith
and
workes
,
the
cause
that
moved
God
to
make
such
a
Covenant
?
If
God
covenanted
with
Christ
to
give
salvation
to
some
,
and
not
to
all
,
did
he
not
then
leave
the
rest
in
a
state
of
impossibility
to
be
saved
,
and
in
a
state
of
certainty
to
be
damned
?
But
the
absolute
electing
of
some
,
doth
argue
the
absolute
reprobating
of
others
.
But
is
not
election
the
cause
of
salvation
,
and
reprobation
the
cause
of
damnation
?
But
the
Decree
of
reprobation
,
puts
a
necessity
upon
men
to
sinne
,
for
if
God
hath
decreed
the
punishment
he
hath
decreed
the
cause
also
.
But
if
a
King
makes
a
law
so
strict
that
his
Subjects
cannot
keepe
it
,
and
then
punishes
his
Subjects
for
breaking
it
,
is
not
that
King
more
guilty
then
his
Subject
?
(
viz
,
Adam
How
doth
it
appeare
that

How
is

be

for

,
yet
may
not
he
suffer
beleevers
to
be
arrested
,
and
to
answer
for
their
owne

as
its
usuall
for

?
How
could
Christ
being
but
one
,
make
satisfaction
for
the
sins
of
so
many
as
are
saved
?
How
doth
it
appeare
that
Christ
is
the
summe
,
and
substance
of
the
Covenant
of
grace
?
Was
it
one
and
the
same
Covenant
of
grace
,
that
was
in
force
before
the
Law
,
and
under
the
Law
,
till

comming
of
Christ
in

flesh
?
The
Covenant
that
God
made
with
seemes
not
to
be
the
Covenant
of

,
but
a
Covenant
that
hee
would
not
destroy
the
world
againe
by
water
,
as
he
had
done
before
?

Was
Circumcision
a
seale
of
the
Covenant

which
God
made
with

Abraham
,
Isaac
But
the

〈◊〉
a
seal
,
signifies
but
an
exemplary
note
,
and
a
badge
of
honour
,
and
circumcision
was
given
to
onely
for
that
end
,
and
not
to
confirme
the
Covenant
.
But
if
it
were
a
signe
,
and
a
Seale
,
yet
it
confirmed
but
owne
faith
Well
grant
it
to
be
a
sign
and
seal
of
the
Covenant
;
yet
it
was
but
a
sign
&
seal
of
temporall
things
,
as
the
land
of
Canaan
.
Circumcision
did
binde
men
to
keep
the
whole
Law
,
and
therefore
sure
it
was
a
seale
of
a
legali
Covenant
,
and
not
of
the
Covenant
of
grace
.
whosoever
is
circumcised
is
a
debtor
to
the
whole
Law
,
What
was
the
intent
of
God
in
giving
Circumcision
?
Now
you
grant
that
circumcision
did
binde
the
circumcised
to
keep
the
whole
Law
.
Circumcision
was
an
intollerable
Yoke
,
and
burden
to
the
Jewes
and
their
forefathers
,
therefore
it
could
not
be
a
seale
of
the
righteousnesse
of
faith
or
of
the
Covenant
of
grace
.
If
Circumcision
had
been
a
sign
or
seale
of
the
Covenant
of
grace
,
it
would
still
have
remained
,
and
not
have
been
taken
away
.
If
Circumcision
be
a
Ceremonie
,
then
it
must
signifie
somewhat
that
is
substantiall
,
what
was
it
then
that
circumcision
did
signifie
?
What
manner
of
Covenant
,
was
that
which
God
made
with
and
his
seede
(
called
the
Covenant
of
grace
)
whereof
circumcision
was
a
signe
and
seale
?
Why
doe
you
call
it
a
free
Covenant
?
But
Abraham
was
a
Beleever
,
and
circumcised
,
and
so
were
Isaac
,
Jacob
,
and
the
Israelites
,
and
therefore
more
worthy
,
and
deserving
then
others
.

But
is
not
faith
the
condition
of
the
Covenant
of
grace
?
I
will
put
my
law
in
their
inward
parts
,
and
write
it
in
their
hearts
,
and
will
be
their
God
,
and
they
shall
be
my
people
:
and
I
will
forgive
their
iniquity
,
and
remember
their
sin
no
more
:
There
is
no
doubt
to
be
made
of
it
,
but
that
faith
is
a
condition
of
the
Covenant
of
grace
,
for
there
is
nothing
more
ordinary
in
Scripture
(
especially
the
New
Testament
)
then
to
make
faith
or
beleeving
,
a
condition
of
Justification
and
Salvation
,
as
he
that
beleeveth
is
justified
from
all
things
:
and
He
that
beleeveth
on
the
Son
,
hath
everlasting
life
.
So
that
sure
,
faith
is
the
condition
of
the
Covenant
of
grace
,
and
there
is
no
other
condition
.
But
is
it
not
Gods
part
to
propound
,
and
offer
the
Covenant
unto
men
,
and
mens
part
to
receive
,
and
accept
of
the
Covenant
,
being
offered
,
and
tendred
unto
them
by
God
?
Hereby
you
free
the
creature
,
from
doing
any
thing
at
all
,
and
you
lay
the
whole
worke
upon
God
,
and
so
man
by
this
,
may
sit
still
,
and
doe
nothing
.
My
Father
worketh
hitherto
,
and
I
work
We
are
co-workers
together
with
him
:
I
grant
that
faith
is
the
gift
of
God
(
and
that
man
cannot
beleeve
of
himselfe
)
but
then
God
must
give
it
to
men
before
he
enters
into
Covenant
with
them
,
that
so
they
may
have
it
as
a
hand
to
take
hold
upon
the
Covenant
.
If
the
Covenant
be
altogether
free
,
then
hath
not
Christ
purchased
a
right
for
men
to
the
Covenant
,
and
so
his
merits
is
no
ground
of
the
Covenant
.

Jesus
Christ
My
Covenant
will
I
not
breake
,
nor
alter
the
thing
that
is
gone
out
of
my
lips
.
This
Promise
was
made
unto
who
was
a
strong
beleever
,
and
a
man
after
Gods
own
bea
rt
,
but
is
it
so
sure
to
every
ordinary
beleever
,
as
it
was
to
him
?
Therefore
it
is
of
faith
that
it
might
be
by
grace
to
the
end
that
the
promise
might
be
sure
to
all
the
seed
.
Oh
but
David
was
a

zealous

as

of

promise

After
that
I
was
turned
,
I
repented
,
and
after
that
I
was
instructed
,
I
smote
upon
my
thigh

Oh

I
finde

that
I
feare
it
will
so
provoke
God
as
to
make
him
with-hold
from
me
what
he
promiseth
in
his

For
I

But
though
God
makes
the
Covenant
with
men
at

freely
,
and
though
it
be

in

yet
afterwards
there
is
some
condition
on

part
,
which
if
it
bee
not
performed
by

,
God
is
dismissed
,
and
discharged
,
from

;
for

Covenant
among

,
when
one
party
neglects
to
performe
the

on

the

is
no

there
should

then
may
also
my

But
God
threatens
the
children
of
Israel
,
that
they
should
know
his
breach
of

,
But
God
threatens
to
deal
with

,
even
as
they
deal
with

,
so
that
if
they
breake

he
may
do
the

with

If
they
breake

will
I

their

I

for
all
this
,
the
Covenant
of

may

broken

not

Gods

on

of

then
it

for

But
I
will
for
their

remember
the

i.
e.
Did
the
beleevers
under
the
Law
in
their
distresses
and
miseries
looke
upon
that
Covenant
?
Was
the
Covenant
of
grace
that
beleevers
were
under
,
before
the
comming
of
Christ
(
in
the
flesh
)
and
the
Covenant
of
grace
,
which
beleevers
are
under
since
(
or
now
in
the
dayes
of
the
Gospell
,
)
one
and
the
same
Covenant
?
As
for
example
saw
Christs
day
,
and
rejoyced
,
and
that
the
twelve
Tribes
served
God
with
hopes
to
obtaine
the
promise
.
If
it
bad
beene
the
same
Covenant
,
the
Apostle
would
not
have
called
them
two
Covenants
as
he
doth
,
the
Lord
made
with
your
forefathers
when
he
brought
them
out
of
the
land
of
Egypt
,
If
the
Covenant
of
grace
here
spoken
of
,
be
the
same
Covenant
with
that
made
before
the
Law
;
why
then
doth
the
Apostle
call
it
a
new
Covenant
?
he
might
rather
have
called
it
the
old
Covenant
,
then
the
new

the

there
no

it
possibly
be
,
that
the
Jewes
,
who
knew
all
these

did
not
see
them
fulfilled
in
Christ
?
Because
they
received
not
the
love

the

that
they
might
be

God
sent
them
strong
delusions
,
that

know

did

that

But
the

that

by

no

That
a
man
is
justified
by
faith
without
the
deeds
of

,
and
that
righteousnesse
is
imputed
without
works
But
why
cannot
men
be
saved
by

of
works
?
But
may
not
men
be
saved
partly
by
the
Covenant

Are

through

,
and

If
men
be

onely
by

why
then
doth
the
Lord
command
men
to
seek
,
strive
,
run
,

,

,
and
the
like
.
That
it
is
not
in

nor
in

in

Whether
doth
God
tender
the
Covenant
of

to
all
,
yea
or
no
?
to
all
Nations
,
and
to
every
creature
Have
any
men

a

this

when
it

The

minde
is
enmity
against

it
is
not

neither
indeed
can
be

If
men
have
no
will
nor
power
to
come
to
Christ
,
and
to
partake
of
him
;
why
then
doth
Christ
complaine
,
that
the
Jewes
would
not
come
to
him
?
that
answered
and
said
I
will
not

Why
doth
Christ
by
his

,
invite
men

they
have
no

If

some

But
if
God
gives

unto

is
he
not

And
is
it
not

not
the

also
threaten
Beleevers
(
that

if
they
be
threatnings
of

What
then
are
those
threatnings
of
the
Covenant
of
grace
,
that
concerne
beleevers
?
That
if
they
breake
his
Statutes
,
and
keep
not
his
Commandements
,
he
will
visit
their
transgressions
with
a
rod
,
and
their
iniquities
with
stripes
.
Doth
the
Lord
then
chastise
his
owne
children
for
their
sins
?
For
this
cause
many
are
weake
and
sickly
among
you
,
and
many
are
fallen
asleep
.
But
what
wayes
and
kindes
doth
the
Lord
use
to
chastise
his
children
?
Hath
God
forgotten
to
be
gracious
?
hath
hee
in
anger
shut
up
his
tender
mercies
?
How
doth
it
consist
with
Gods
love
,
that
he
should
correct
and
chastise
his
children
?
Whom
the
Lord
loveth
he
chasteneth
,
and
scourgeth
every
son
whom
he
receiveth
.
But
how
can
God
correct
his
children
for
their
sinnes
,
seeing
Christ
hath
made
satisfaction
for
them
?
The
Lord
corrects
his
children
that
they
may
be
partakers
of
his
holinesse
:
By
this
shall
the
iniquity
of
be
purged
Doth
the
Covenant
of
grace
,
or
the
Gospel
,
give
any
liberty
to
sinne
,
or
any
incouragement
for
men
to
continue
therein
?
What
shall
we
continue
in
sinne
that
grace
may
abound
?
God
forbid
.
But
there
be
many
that
say
your
preaching
of
free
grace
doth
give
liberty
(
and
many
take
liberty
thereby
)
to
sin
.
But
it
is
no
wonder
,
that
these
men
doe
abuse
the
grace
of
God
,
seeing
there
is
a
generall
tolleration
granted

(
