Contr. All these I have confuted at large elsewhere, and proved 1. That Faith is a proper condition of those benefits which God giveth us by the conditional Covenant of Grace; but not of all the benefits which he any other way giveth us. It was not the condition of his giving Christ to live and die for us; nor of his giving us the Gospel, or this Covenant it self; nor of his giving us Preachers, or of the first motions of his Spirit; nor was Faith the condition of the gift of Faith elf; because all these are not given us in that way, by that Covenant, but absolutely, as God shall please.
