nor_o be_v god_n as_o it_o be_v oblige_v to_o perform_v his_o covenant_n to_o such_o 13._o the_o like_a may_v be_v say_v of_o the_o foresay_a equivocal_a erroneous_a consent_v accept_n covenant_v if_o the_o error_n be_v through_o the_o fault_n of_o the_o man_n himself_o his_o act_n may_v oblige_v himself_o though_o god_n remain_v disoblige_v and_o though_o he_o have_v no_o right_n to_o the_o

to_o their_o own_o act_n but_o the_o great_a question_n be_v yet_o behind_o whether_o these_o man_n be_v in_o covenant_n with_o god_n as_o to_o god_n actual_a engagement_n to_o they_o so_o far_o as_o that_o god_n premise_v be_v in_o force_n for_o convey_v actual_a right_n to_o they_o as_o to_o the_o promise_a blessing_n and_o so_o whether_o it_o be_v a_o mutual_a covenant_n and_o both_o party_n

right_n to_o the_o main_a blessing_n give_v by_o the_o covenant_n viz._n christ_n pardon_v justification_n adoption_n glory_n nor_o yet_o to_o the_o common_a blessing_n of_o this_o covenant_n for_o they_o be_v give_v by_o the_o same_o covenant_n and_o on_o the_o same_o condition_n as_o the_o special_a blessing_n so_o that_o though_o they_o may_v have_v right_a to_o they_o at_o present_a on_o the_o ground_n of_o god_n present_a collation_n or_o trust_v they_o with_o they_o as_o a_o servant_n have_v in_o his_o master_n stock_n yet_o have_v they_o no_o right_n by_o covenant_n for_o it_o be_v

to_o the_o faithful_a so_o that_o in_o the_o conclusion_n i_o say_v that_o though_o wicked_a man_n have_v many_o promise_n from_o god_n especial_o the_o great_a conditional_a promise_n of_o life_n if_o they_o will_v repent_v and_o believe_v and_o though_o they_o be_v also_o oblige_v by_o their_o own_o imperfect_a equivocal_a covenant_v with_o god_n yet_o god_n remain_v still_o unoblige_v to_o they_o and_o they_o have_v no_o actual_a right_n to_o the_o benefit_n of_o his_o promise_n because_o they_o have_v not_o perform_v the_o condition_n of_o their_o first_o right_a that_o be_v have_v not_o covenant_v true_o with_o god_n or_o enter_v the_o covenant_n which_o he_o propound_v have_v not_o consent_v to_o his_o term_n nor_o accept_v christ_n and_o life_n as_o offer_v in_o the_o gospel_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v the_o most_o proper_a language_n to_o say_v that_o none_o but_o sincere_a believer_n be_v in_o covenant_n with_o god_n for_o the_o rest_n have_v but_o equivocal_o covenant_v with_o god_n and_o god_n not_o actual_o engage_v in_o covenant_n with_o they_o for_o while_o the_o condition_n be_v unperformed_a there_o be_v no_o actual_a obligation_n on_o the_o promise_n and_o so_o it_o be_v no_o proper_a mutual_a covenant_n and_o consequent_o these_o man_n in_o proper_a strict_a sense_n be_v no_o true_a christian_n but_o analogical_o only_a yet_o because_o we_o have_v no_o access_n to_o their_o heart_n and_o therefore_o must_v judge_v of_o the_o heart_n by_o the_o profession_n and_o outward_a sign_n therefore_o we_o must_v judge_v these_o probable_o to_o covenant_n with_o the_o heart_n who_o do_v profess_v to_o do_v so_o with_o the_o tongue_n and_o those_o to_o covenant_n entire_o and_o without_o error_n in_o the_o essential_o who_o profess_v so_o to_o do_v and_o therefore_o we_o must_v judge_v they_o probable_o to_o be_v true_a christian_n and_o true_o godly_a man_n till_o they_o retract_v that_o profession_n by_o word_n or_o deed_n and_o therefore_o we_o must_v judge_v they_o probable_o to_o be_v true_o in_o covenant_n with_o god_n and_o such_o as_o god_n be_v as_o it_o be_v oblige_v to_o justify_v and_o therefore_o we_o must_v give_v they_o the_o name_n of_o christian_n and_o man_n in_o covenant_n with_o god_n and_o therefore_o we_o must_v use_v they_o as_o christian_n in_o work_n of_o charity_n and_o in_o ordinance_n and_o church_n communion_n and_o so_o must_v use_v their_o child_n as_o christian_n child_n the_o warrant_n for_o this_o usage_n and_o judgement_n i_o must_v desire_v the_o reader_n to_o take_v notice_n

that_o none_o be_v oblige_v to_o forgive_v rather_o we_o know_v that_o man_n must_v judge_v he_o to_o repent_v that_o profess_v so_o to_o do_v and_o therefore_o forgive_v he_o that_o profess_v it_o not_o because_o profess_v be_v the_o assign_v requisite_a condition_n but_o a_o sign_n of_o that_o condition_n and_o therefore_o we_o be_v to_o accept_v of_o no_o profession_n but_o what_o probable_o signify_v true_a repentance_n for_o if_o we_o know_v a_o man_n dissemble_v or_o jeer_v we_o in_o profess_v repentance_n we_o be_v not_o bind_v to_o do_v by_o he_o as_o a_o penitent_a so_o god_n
