CHAP. VI. Whether the New Covenant of Grace have any Conditions?
Lib. V. BY feigning the Covenant of Grace to have Conditions, you make it to be a Covenant of works.
P. Either by works you mean [any humane acts;] And so all Gods Covenants with man (and his Laws) are of works; that is, It is some act of man that they require: For what else can be commanded? Or you mean as Paul doth, when he calls the Jews Law, a Law of works: And if so, you falsify his doctrine or ours. Prove if you can that by works he meaneth every humane Act, and that Faith it self is either no Act of man, or the works meant by him.
