But Mr. Cary will say, If you do not, yet Mr. Roberts doth comprise both in one Covenant. I say, you abuse Mr. Roberts in so affirming: for he saith in that very place you refer to*, That believing in Christ was ultimately and chiefly intended in the Sinai Covenant; and perfect doing was only urged upon Israel in subordination and tendency to that believing. And upon that ground it is he affirms that Covenant to be a Covenant of Faith, and so denominates it from the chief scope and intent of it. He sets not doing and believing in co-ordination, or places the Church under two opposite Covenants, as you do; but places the Law, where it ought to be placed, in subordination to Faith and Christ. And therefore you have abused that good Man, ⟨p. 187⟩as well as me, and your self most of all in this your first impertinent and silly Answer.
