it was upon condition of our personal, perfect and perpetual obedience, and therefore called a Covenant of works. Do this, and live, was not only a Command, ⟨p. 29⟩but a Covenant, with a promise of eternal happiness, upon perfect and perpetual obedience. All that are under a Covenant of works, are under the curse of the Covenant, and they are all bound over unto eternal wrath: But the Lord Christ has put an end to this Covenant, and abolished it unto all that are in him, being himself made under it; and satisfying the precept, and the curse of it, and so he did cancel it; As a hand-writing against us, nailing 1it unto his cross: So that all they that are in Christ, are freed from the Law, as a Covenant; but unto all other men, it remains a Covenant still, and they remain under the curse of it for ever, and the wrath of God abides upon2 them. Though the Covenant of works (as it is a Covenant for life) ceaseth unto believers, yet it stands in force against all unbelievers.
