belong_v to_o the_o covenant_n of_o work_n quest_n first_o in_o what_o sense_n the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n be_v say_v to_o be_v everlasting_a answ_n for_o open_v this_o take_v notice_n that_o a_o thing_n be_v say_v to_o be_v everlasting_a in_o a_o twofold_a sense_n 1._o that_o be_v say_v to_o be_v everlasting_a that_o be_v never_o to_o end_v though_o it_o have_v a_o beginning_n so_o you_o find_v it_o psal_n 24._o lift_v up_o your_o head_n you_o everlasting_a door_n that_o be_v mean_v of_o the_o heart_n and_o soul_n of_o man_n which_o though_o it_o have_v a_o beginning_n yet_o it_o be_v to_o endure_v for_o ever_o so_o everlasting_a and_o a_o proper_a eternity_n be_v not_o one_o thing_n it_o will_v take_v two_o everlasting_z to_o make_v one_o eternity_n from_o everlasting_a to_o everlasting_a thou_o be_v god_n mark_v there_o a_o eternity_n take_v two_o everlasting_z 2._o a_o thing_n be_v say_v to_o be_v everlasting_a when_o it_o have_v a_o proper_a eternity_n so_o isaiah_n 9.6_o christ_n be_v call_v wonderful_a counsellor_n the_o mighty_a god_n the_o everlasting_a father_n the_o prince_n of_o peace_n now_o everlasting_a be_v to_o be_v take_v in_o the_o second_o sense_n it_o be_v a_o eternal_a covenant_n not_o only_o be_v it_o never_o to_o end_v and_o be_v everlasting_a but_o it_o be_v from_o everlasting_a however_o it_o be_v transact_v in_o time_n with_o man_n yet_o it_o be_v transact_v with_o christ_n from_o all_o eternity_n and_o it_o be_v as_o ancient_a as_o the_o covenant_n of_o redemption_n so_o you_o see_v in_o what_o sense_n it_o be_v call_v a_o everlasting_a covenant_n that_o be_v a_o eternal_a covenant_n from_o eternity_n to_o eternity_n quest_n 2._o whether_o be_v this_o a_o peculiar_a privilege_n of_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n that_o it_o be_v everlasting_a the_o reason_n of_o this_o difficulty_n be_v 1._o the_o covenant_n of_o work_n be_v old_a in_o time_n for_o it_o be_v make_v with_o man_n in_o a_o state_n of_o integrity_n 2_o the_o covenant_n of_o work_n be_v first_o in_o the_o order_n of_o nature_n for_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n be_v make_v with_o lapse_v man_n it_o suppose_v the_o covenant_n of_o work_n to_o be_v break_v 3_o it_o be_v suppose_v by_o many_o great_a scholar_n that_o if_o adam_n have_v not_o break_v the_o covenant_n of_o work_n he_o have_v be_v everlasting_o in_o paradise_n and_o will_v have_v continue_v in_o pleasure_n without_o death_n so_o the_o covenant_n of_o work_n in_o the_o nature_n of_o it_o be_v a_o everlasting_a covenant_n and_o consequent_o this_o be_v no_o peculiar_a privilege_n of_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n answ_n for_o answer_v to_o the_o question_n however_o the_o covenant_n of_o work_n be_v treat_v with_o man_n in_o time_n and_o though_o it_o be_v in_o the_o order_n of_o nature_n prior_n to_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n yet_o in_o the_o counsel_n of_o god_n the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n be_v before_o the_o covenant_n of_o work_n the_o reason_n of_o it_o be_v that_o which_o famous_a doctor_n twisse_n lay_v as_o a_o principle_n that_o a_o rational_a agent_n intend_v first_o the_o end_n and_o then_o the_o midse_n as_o a_o man_n go_v to_o war_n intend_v first_o the_o end_n and_o then_o the_o midse_n the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n be_v the_o great_a end_n in_o make_v the_o covenant_n of_o work_n that_o by_o it_o he_o may_v make_v way_n for_o the_o end_n the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n be_v first_o in_o his_o purpose_n in_o regard_n it_o be_v the_o great_a end_n of_o the_o covenant_n of_o work_n and_o he_o intend_v the_o end_n before_o the_o midse_n 2_o whatever_o the_o covenant_n of_o work_n shall_v have_v be_v be_v a_o question_n of_o which_o the_o scripture_n be_v silent_a yet_o the_o covenant_n of_o work_n if_o adam_n have_v not_o break_v it_o will_v have_v be_v everlasting_a but_o be_v break_v it_o be_v lay_v aside_o so_o that_o it_o be_v far_o from_o be_v everlasting_a in_o regard_n of_o duration_n that_o it_o be_v suppose_v that_o man_n stand_v but_o few_o hour_n and_o it_o be_v break_v and_o he_o be_v liable_a to_o the_o penalty_n so_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n be_v not_o only_o everlasting_a but_o the_o only_a everlasting_a covenant_n so_o have_v clear_v that_o this_o covenant_n be_v everlasting_a i_o will_v take_v only_o this_o note_n and_o handle_v it_o this_o day_n doctrine_n that_o the_o covenant_n with_o believer_n be_v a_o everlasting_a covenant_n so_o you_o find_v it_o frequent_o call_v in_o scripture_n isaiah_n 55.3_o incline_v your_o ear_n and_o come_v unto_o i_o hear_v and_o your_o soul_n shall_v live_v and_o i_o will_v make_v a_o everlasting_a covenant_n with_o you_o even_o the_o sure_a mercy_n of_o david_n so_o ezekiel_n 16.60_o nevertheless_o i_o will_v remember_v my_o covenant_n with_o thou_o in_o the_o day_n of_o thy_o youth_n and_o i_o will_v establish_v unto_o thou_o a_o everlasting_a covenant_n it_o be_v frequent_o call_v a_o everlasting_a covenant_n in_o scripture_n i_o shall_v not_o need_v to_o insist_v to_o prove_v so_o well_o a_o know_a truth_n but_o to_o take_v way_n to_o the_o doctrinal_a part_n i_o will_v doctrinal_o inquire_v into_o two_o thing_n first_o in_o what_o respect_v the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n be_v a_o everlasting_a covenant_n 2_o i_o will_v inquire_v into_o the_o ground_n why_o the_o lord_n in_o his_o make_v a_o covenant_n will_v not_o have_v it_o a_o tack_v for_o a_o lease_n of_o year_n but_o a_o absolute_a gift_n and_o a_o everlasting_a one_o quest_n first_o in_o what_o respect_v it_o be_v a_o everlasting_a covenant_n answer_n for_o clear_v of_o this_o i_o desire_v you_o may_v notice_n these_o two_o general_n 1._o it_o be_v a_o everlasting_a covenant_n in_o regard_n of_o duration_n it_o be_v from_o eternity_n to_o eternity_n it_o be_v remarkable_a psal_n 103.17_o the_o mercy_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v from_o everlasting_a to_o everlasting_a upon_o they_o that_o fear_v he_o it_o be_v as_o ancient_a as_o god_n and_o will_v endure_v as_o long_o as_o god_n for_o all_o his_o decree_n and_o purpose_n be_v everlasting_a and_o eternal_a and_o a_o eternity_n have_v no_o beginning_n nor_o end_n this_o covenant_n be_v treat_v with_o the_o mediator_n from_o all_o eternity_n and_o will_v endure_v with_o he_o to_o all_o eternity_n but_o 2_o take_v notice_n of_o this_o in_o the_o general_n that_o when_o god_n transact_v the_o covenant_n with_o man_n he_o intend_v not_o to_o set_v he_o a_o tack_v or_o lease_n with_o reserve_v but_o he_o intend_v to_o make_v a_o absolute_a irrevocable_a gift_n therefore_o it_o be_v express_v in_o the_o new_a testament_n not_o by_o way_n of_o tack_v have_v a_o number_n of_o clause_n in_o it_o but_o by_o way_n of_o testament_n it_o be_v the_o gift_n of_o a_o testator_n ratify_v by_o his_o death_n and_o none_o can_v revock_n his_o will_n no_o he_o can_v revock_n it_o himself_o so_o that_o in_o effect_n it_o be_v not_o a_o tack_v or_o a_o lease_n make_v of_o pardon_n or_o peace_n or_o a_o heaven_n in_o the_o covenant_n with_o many_o reserve_v but_o it_o be_v a_o absolute_a gift_n like_o the_o gift_n in_o the_o testament_n that_o can_v be_v revoke_v by_o any_o no_o by_o he_o that_o make_v it_o which_o will_v appear_v if_o you_o notice_n three_o thing_n first_o take_v notice_n that_o when_o god_n transact_v the_o covenant_n himself_o and_o his_o son_n he_o in_o a_o manner_n bind_v up_o his_o own_o hand_n from_o ever_o revock_v the_o gift_n contain_v in_o the_o covenant_n if_o once_o he_o give_v they_o than_o he_o can_v revock_n they_o psal_n 89._o if_o his_o child_n forsake_v my_o law_n and_o walk_v not_o in_o my_o judgement_n if_o they_o break_v my_o statute_n and_o keep_v not_o my_o commandment_n then_o will_v i_o visit_v their_o transgression_n with_o the_o rod_n and_o their_o iniquity_n with_o stripe_n nevertheless_o my_o love_a kindness_n will_v i_o not_o utter_o take_v from_o he_o nor_o suffer_v my_o faithfulness_n to_o fail_v my_o covenant_n will_v i_o not_o break_v nor_o alter_v the_o thing_n that_o be_v go_v out_o of_o my_o lip_n mark_v there_o he_o bind_v up_o his_o own_o hand_n he_o have_v make_v the_o gift_n so_o absolute_a that_o though_o he_o be_v provoke_v he_o will_v not_o break_v it_o be_v not_o like_o a_o tack_v make_v betwixt_o a_o landlord_n and_o a_o tennent_n that_o if_o the_o land_n lord_n be_v forefault_v the_o tack_v will_v fall_v he_o have_v pass_v from_o all_o these_o article_n and_o clause_n and_o bind_v up_o his_o own_o hand_n that_o if_o my_o child_n offend_v i_o will_v correct_v they_o with_o the_o rod_n of_o man_n but_o my_o covenant_n i_o will_v not_o break_v 2_o i_o deny_v not_o but_o there_o be_v condition_n in_o the_o covenant_n but_o the_o man_n that_o get_v the_o gift_n can_v
