4. The fulfilling the condition of the new Covenant is called faith, Gal. 3.12, 23, 25.
Answer. Neither of these places make faith the fulfilling of the Condition of the New Covenant, nor any place else In Gal. 3.12. Its said, the Law, that is the Covenant of the Law, is not of Faith. i. e. doth not assign Life to Faith in Christ▪ Faith Gal. 3, 23, 25. is put, saith Piscat. for the time of the Gospel, or Christ, say others, or the Doctrine of Faith. By Faith only the condition of the Covenant concerning Justification in this life is fulfilled, not concerning every Benefit of the new Covenant. Repentance is the condition of Remission of sins; forgiving others, doing good to the Saints, of entering into Life.
