Adams paradise happiness. 2. And the Life of the second Covenant; which is, Eternal glory in heaven. 8. Betwixt the death or curse of the old Covenant, which is opposite to its reward: This only ⟨image 116⟩was laid on Christ, and is due to Infants by nature, 2. And the death of the second Covenant, opposite to its life, called the second death, and far sorer punishment. This final unbelievers suffer. 9. Betwixt sins against the first Covenant: For these Christ died. 2. And sins against the second Covenant: For these he dyed not. 10. Betwixt sinning against Christ and the Gospel, as the object of our sin only: So Christ died for them. 2. And sinning against the new Covenant as such, or as a threatening Law: So Christ dyed not for them. 11. Betwixt delaying to perform the conditions of the new Covenant. This is not threatened with death. 2. And finall non-performance. This is proper violation of the Covenant, and a sin that leaveth no hope of recovery. 12. Betwixt paying the proper debt of obedience (as Christ did himself,) or of suffering (as the damned do.) 2. And satisfying for non-payment; as Christ did for us. 13 Betwixt repealing the Law or Covenant (which is not done) 2. And relaxing it or dispensing with it (which is done.) 14. Betwixt relaxation or dispensation in the proper subject and circumstances of the Penalty. This is done in removing it from us to Christ. 2. And dispensing with the Penalty it self. This is not done; for Christ did bear it. ⟨image 117⟩15. Betwixt the change of the Law: 2. And of the sinners relation to the Law. 16. Betwixt the Laws forbidding and condemning the sin: (so it doth still.) 2. And its condemning the sinner: (So it doth not to the justified, because Christ hath born the curse.) 17. Betwixt the Precepts as abstracted from the Covenant terms, (which really they are not at all) 2. And as belonging to the several Covenants. 18. Betwixt perfection of Holiness (which is a quality.) This is not in this life. 2. And Perfection of Righteousness, (which is a Relation:) This is perfect, or none at all. 19. Betwixt recalling the Fact, or the evil of the Fact, or its desert of punishment. These are never done, nor are possible. 2. And removing the dueness of punishment from the Offender. This is done. 20.
