Again, there are two kinds of this covenant. The covenant of works, & the covenant of grace. Jerm. 31.3•.42.43. Behold the days come, saith the Lord, that I will make a now covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah, not according to the covenant I made with their fathers, when I took them •y the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; the which my covenant they brake; although I was an husband to them, saith the Lord. But this shall be the covenant, that I will make with the house of Israel: after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts, and will be their God, and they shall be my people.
