Absurdity I.
That Abraham, Moses, and all the Believers under the Old Testament, by standing absolutely under Adam's Covenant of Works, as a ministration of death and condemnation; and at the same time purely under the Covenant of Grace (as Mr. C. affirms they did) must necessarily, during their lives, hang midway betwixt Life and Death, Justification and Condemnation; and after death, midway betwixt Heaven and Hell. During life, they could neither be justified nor condemned. Justified they could not be, for Justification is the Soul's passing from death to life, 1 John 3. 14. John 5. 24. Upon a man's justification his Covenant and State are changed; but the Covenant and State of no man can be so changed as long as he remains absolutely under the severest Penalties and condemnation of the Law, as Mr. C. affirms they did.
