Prop. XXII. Seeing no Man can fulfil the First Law, or Covenant, and no Man can be saved by a Covenant not kept, and Christ Redeemed not Man into absolute liberty, (to be from under Law and Rule, which were Misery to him and not liberty) Therefore it hath pleased the Father and Mediator to make to Man a New Law and Covenant suited to his present State of Misery.

Prop. XXIII. The Tenor of this Law is that whosoever will Repent, Thankfully and heartily accept Jesus Christ to be his Saviour, Teacher, King and Head, believing him to be the Redeemer, and will Love him (and God in him) above all, and obey him sincerely, to the Death, shall upon his first acceptance be Justified and Adopted, and upon his perseverance be justified at Judgment, saved from Hell, and Glorified: And whosoever rejecteth him, shall bear the Guilt and punishment of all his Sins against the Law, and for his refusal, be far sorelier punished.
Prop. XXIV. By this New Law, or Covenant, Christ hath brought all Men, where it is Promulgate, under the Duty of receiving him, and Life in him: And under a Promise of Life, if they do receive him, and a Threatening of Death if they reject him.
