To the eighth Objection.
IN your eighth Question I observe several mistakes. 1. You observe not how ill it agreeth with the two former. For if the Covenant were only absolute, then it can be made to none but wicked men: and indeed the absolute Covenant is made to none other. Sure those that God doth promise to bestow new hearts upon, and soft hearts, have yet their old and hard hearts: (except it were meant of a further degree, and not of the ⟨p. 243⟩first saving Grace.) 2. And as the absolute' so the great conditional Promise, Believe and be saved is also made to ungodly men. Is not this spoken to Unbelievers? Will you speak it to none but those who believe already? Were none of those Jews ungodly, to whom Peter saith Act. 2. 39. The Promise is made to you and to your children? But I have proved a little before, that not only as it is a Covenant offered of God, but also as it is a Covenant entered by them, even wicked men are within the Covenant.
