Q. What have you been taught concerning the Government of God, as it respects the times after our first Parents had sinned?
A. I am taught in the general, That when Man had sinned, and so became subject to the Judgment of God, then God published his Promise of Christ, whom since he hath raised up; and since by one Man Sin entered into the World, and Death by Sin, and so Death passed upon all Men: The Government of God towards Man is to be considered according to the times in which Christ was promised, and the times after his being raised up. Gen. 3.8, &c. Rom. 3.19. & 5.12. Luk. 1.68, 69, &c. Acts 13.23.
