Or does the Restipulation Abraham and his were here required to make unto God, even to walk before him, and be perfect; doth this make it an Adam's Covenant of Works? Surely no. For as God there requires ⟨image 13⟩perfection of Abraham, so Christ requires the same perfection of all New-covenant Federates now, Matth. 5. 48. Be ye perfect, as your Father which is in Heaven is perfect; which is altogether as much as ever God required of Abraham and his, in Gen. 17. 1. Take Perfection in what sense you will, either for a positive Perfection, consisting in truth and sincerity; or a comparative Perfection, consisting in the growth and more eminent degrees of Grace; or a superlative Perfection, which all New-covenant Federates strive after here, Phil. 3. 12, 13- and shall certainly attain in Heaven, Heb. 12. 23. In this also the Covenant with Abraham, and with us, are truly and substantially one and the same.
