I find other differences between the Law and the Gospel, made by another Antinomian, and they are in a Sermon upon the two Covenants of grace, where the Author, having truly asserted, that God did transact with the Jews in a Covenant of 1grace; yet he makes that Covenant, and this under the Gospel, to be two distinct Covenants: They are not (saith he, pag. 45.) one and the same Covenant diversly administered, but they are two distinct Covenants: His arguments are, because they are called Old and New: But those names enforce no essential difference. The Commandment of love is called an old Commandment, and a new; yet it is the same for essence: so likewise the terms of a 2good, and better, do imply no more then a gradual difference in their excellency. But that which I shall especially animadvert upon, is, the differences he giveth between these two Covenants of grace so really distinguished, as he supposeth, and in this matter, the Author speaketh much error in a few lines.
