THESIS. XLVII.
The new Covenant accuseth no man, as deserving its penalty, but only those that perform not its conditions; that is, the finally unbelieving and impenitent rebels against Christ, and their rightful Lord.

EXPLICATION.
That the Gospel doth not condemn men, or threaten them with damnation for any sins but unbelief, I dare not speak or think. But that the Gospel threateneth no man with damnation but unbelievers, is out of all question: And consequently the proper sin threatened in the new Covenant as such, is unbelief; the rest are but left and settled on the sinner by this.
