also_o have_v its_o own_o promise_n as_o both_o covenant_n have_v likewise_o their_o own_o atonement_n i_o do_v not_o deny_v it_o but_o this_o i_o ask_v what_o manner_n of_o promise_n have_v

obey_v the_o most_o holy_a precept_n of_o god_n and_o turn_v from_o their_o sin_n to_o righteousness_n all_o which_o promise_v be_v by_o the_o prophet_n set_v before_o the_o penitent_a seem_v to_o i_o to_o be_v of_o such_o a_o sort_n that_o they_o either_o signify_v temporary_a reward_n in_o this_o world_n and_o mitigate_v outward_a punishment_n in_o this_o life_n or_o if_o they_o be_v refer_v to_o eternal_a life_n they_o do_v gospel_n at_o least_o imply_v the_o faith_n of_o a_o mediator_n by_o a_o certain_a silent_a condition_n and_o therefore_o among_o divine_n there_o be_v learned_a and_o famous_a man_n who_o do_v right_o and_o learned_o prove_v that_o the_o preach_v of_o repentance_n belong_v peculiarly_a to_o the_o gospel_n and_o not_o to_o the_o law_n for_o the_o law_n preach_v damnation_n to_o sinner_n the_o gospel_n preach_v salvation_n to_o the_o penitent_a therefore_o when_o the_o lord_n say_v return_n and_o you_o shall_v be_v save_v i_o desire_v not_o the_o death_n of_o a_o sinner_n etc._n etc._n it_o be_v not_o the_o preach_a of_o the_o law_n which_o pronounce_v the_o sentence_n of_o condemnation_n without_o mercy_n but_o it_o be_v the_o very_a voice_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o this_o seem_v to_o i_o to_o be_v the_o chief_a difference_n between_o moses_n and_o moses_n christ_n that_o like_a as_o he_o be_v as_o it_o be_v a_o certain_a earthly_a christ_n procure_v a_o earthly_a liberty_n to_o the_o people_n and_o set_v before_o they_o the_o duty_n that_o be_v incumbent_n upon_o they_o in_o lead_v their_o life_n so_o all_o the_o doctrine_n and_o benefit_n of_o christ_n be_v peculiarly_a and_o chief_o direct_v unto_o life_n eternal_a and_o call_v we_o thereunto_o especial_o from_o this_o world_n but_o if_o we_o suppose_v that_o these_o legal_a promise_n shall_v notwithstanding_o be_v refer_v to_o eternal_a life_n yet_o when_o they_o do_v not_o pass_v the_o bound_n of_o that_o people_n only_o and_o reach_v not_o to_o other_o nation_n but_o to_o those_o peculiarly_a who_o wait_v for_o the_o seed_n promise_v to_o they_o therefore_o the_o promise_n of_o the_o law_n include_v faith_n at_o least_o by_o a_o certain_a silent_a condition_n wherefore_o as_o touch_v those_o legal_a promise_n in_o which_o the_o holy_a prophet_n hold_v out_o unto_o they_o that_o repent_v and_o be_v convert_v pardon_n and_o many_o other_o benefit_n in_o these_o must_v be_v consider_v not_o only_o what_o be_v promise_v but_o also_o to_o who_o the_o promise_n be_v make_v as_o be_v such_o as_o belong_v not_o to_o other_o but_o those_o only_a who_o be_v
