notion_n of_o two_o distinct_a covenant_n of_o redemption_n and_o of_o grace_n seem_v to_o be_v defend_v of_o late_a on_o purpose_n to_o favour_v the_o grand_a error_n of_o our_o new_a methodist_n

which_o law_n or_o covenant_n he_o confirm_v by_o his_o death_n so_o that_o now_o god_n say_v they_o enter_v into_o a_o covenant_n with_o mankind_n and_o if_o they_o perform_v the_o condition_n of_o

it_o be_v also_o consider_v that_o god_n will_v not_o make_v any_o covenant_n of_o peace_n with_o we_o without_o a_o mediator_n without_o such_o a_o mediator_n and_o that_o jesus_n christ_n alone_o be_v the_o mediator_n be_v evident_a 2.5_o there_o be_v one_o mediator_n between_o god_n and_o man_n even_o the_o man_n christ_n jesus_n i_o say_v god_n choose_v his_o son_n to_o be_v the_o mediator_n of_o this_o covenant_n of_o peace_n and_o hence_o he_o be_v say_v to_o be_v give_v for_o a_o covenant_n unto_o the_o people_n 42.6_o that_o be_v as_o some_o conceive_v to_o be_v the_o mediator_n

respect_n of_o this_o matter_n 1._o because_o god_n have_v not_o reveal_v he_o or_o make_v know_v any_o other_o way_n by_o which_o our_o peace_n can_v be_v make_v but_o by_o a_o mediator_n i_o do_v

if_o god_n have_v not_o make_v know_v any_o other_o way_n than_o there_o be_v no_o other_o way_n for_o we_o to_o obtain_v peace_n with_o he_o but_o no_o other_o way_n be_v make_v know_v 2._o there_o can_v be_v no_o other_o way_n as_o we_o can_v conceive_v because_o the_o breach_n that_o be_v between_o god_n and_o we_o must_v be_v make_v up_o by_o a_o full_a satisfaction_n to_o the_o law_n and_o justice_n of_o god_n god_n be_v just_a as_o well_o as_o gracious_a and_o hence_o one_o end_n why_o christ_n be_v make_v a_o propitiation_n through_o faith_n in_o his_o

under_o the_o law_n therefore_o in_o vindication_n of_o the_o truth_n or_o veracity_n of_o god_n together_o with_o the_o honour_n equity_n and_o sanction_n of_o the_o law_n there_o must_v be_v

not_o be_v do_v by_o man_n or_o angel_n nor_o as_o a_o simple_a act_n of_o god_n mercy_n without_o the_o impeachment_n of_o his_o holiness_n truth_n and_o justice_n etc._n etc._n can_v not_o be_v do_v

peace_n can_v be_v make_v any_o other_o way_n without_o the_o least_o injury_n to_o the_o justice_n law_n or_o holiness_n of_o god_n etc._n etc._n no_o doubt_v my_o brethren_n but_o that_o the_o son_n of_o god_n have_v be_v spare_v if_o he_o have_v foresee_v that_o our_o peace_n may_v have_v be_v make_v some_o other_o way_n moreover_o will_v it_o not_o then_o follow_v that_o there_o may_v have_v be_v two_o way_n to_o obtain_v peace_n and_o reconciliation_n with_o god_n which_o be_v contrary_a to_o what_o our_o bless_a lord_n say_v 14.6_o no_o man_n come_v to_o the_o father_n but_o by_o i_o
