Covenants, covenant of grace, when a Chris- tian casts his eye upon his gracious evi- dences, he must remember that he has to do with God in, iii. 302, seq.; is a Chris- tian's fort-royal, iii. 487, seq. ; in, God stands engaged to give whatever he re- quires, which is evidenced by an induction of twelve particulars, iii. 487, seq ; is ever- lasting in two respects, iii. 491, seq.; is sure, iii. 491, 492 : of grace andredemjition, v. 266, 267; (1.) that God hath commonly dealt with man in the way of a covenant, v. 286 ; (2.) all men are under a covenant of grace or a covenant of works, v. 286, 287 ; (3. ) the covenant of grace was so legally dispensed to the Jews that it seems to be nothing else but the repetition of the covenant of works, V. 287; (4.) a right notion of the, accord- ing to the original in the Old and New Testament, will conduce much to a right understanding of God's ; the original of the Old and New Testaments largely opened, V. 287, seq.; (5.) there was a covenant of works as a reciprocal covenant betwixt God and Adam, together with all his posterity, V. 292, 293. Quest.
