1. The parties; God and Adam: the Creator and the creature enter into an engagement one with another; the one to obey, the other to bless and assist. This the Scripture shows us in the renewal of the covenant, Exodus 19.5. If you obey my voice (saith God) you shall be my peculiar people: and in the 8. verse the people answer, Whatever the Lord hath said, we will do. This discovers unto us the covenant of Adam, though it were made many years before. This Law opposeth the covenant of the Gospel, Gal. 2.16. But Deut. 29.2. they took another oath, that what righteous laws God appointed, ⟨p. 212⟩they would perform, and God enters into the same condition with them.
