The Covenant in Scripture doth sometimes signify an absolute Promise of God, without any stipulation at all, such as was the Covenant which God made with Noah presently after the Flood, promising freely, that he would never destroy man and beasts with an universal deluge of water any more. Gen. 9. 11. And that Covenant of Peace, and everlasting Covenant which1 God made with Phinehas, that he and his seed after him should have the Covenant of an everlasting Priesthood. Numb. 25. 12, 13. Of this kind is the Covenant wherein God promiseth that he will give his elect faith and perseverance, to which promise no condition2 annexed can be conceived in mind, which is not comprehended in the Promise it self. Heb. 8. 10.
