11. God hath made more Promises, Donations and Covenants, than one or two; which must not be confounded: 1. His Law and Covenant made to and with man in innocency is one. 2. And his Law and Covenant made to and with Christ, as Mediator, is another. 3. And his absolute promise of a Saviour to the World, with the conditional promise or Law of Grace conjunct, was the first edition of another. And the Gospel, as after the incarnation promulgate, was a more perfect edition of it: (to pass by Abraham's Covenant of Peculiarity, and the Mosaical Law, as such.)
12. Though Christ be promised in one of these, and be God's antecedent gift, he may nevertheless be the Author of another, (and so far the foundation,) as well as the meritorious cause.
13. That may be of free Grace which is merited by Christ; yea, and that which is annexed to the Evangelical worthiness of a believer.
