IX. Of Redemption and the Covenant of grace made to Adam and Noah.
1. That God made no promise, Covenant or gift of grace to Adam after his fall.
2. That God made the Covenant of grace only to Adam and the elect, and not to all mankind in him, no not as it is a Conditional Covenant.
3. That all except the elect, or most or many at least are still under that first Covenant of Innocency made with Adam, as prescribing to them and requiring of them sinless innocency or perfection as the only condition of their salvation; As if God still said to sinners, I will save you if you are not sinners.
