Of the same judgment is Dr. Owen. 1Are we able (saith he) of our selves to fulfil the Condition of the New Covenant? Is it not as easy for a Man by his own strength to fulfil the whole Law, as to repent, and believe the Promise of the Gospel? This then is one main difference of these two Covenants, That the Lord did in the Old only require the Condition; now in the New, he also effects it in all the federates to whom the Covenant is extended. This is the Man you pretend to be against Conditions.

Mr. William Pemble opening the nature of the two Covenants,1 saith, The Law offers Life unto Man upon condition of perfect Obedience; the Gospel offers Life unto Man upon another condition, to wit, of Repentance, and Faith in Christ. And after his proofs for it, saith, From whence we conclude firmly, That the difference ⟨p. 253⟩between the Law and the Gospel, assigned by our Divines, is most certain and agreeable to the Scriptures, viz. That the Law gives Life unto the just, upon condition of perfect obedience in all things; the Gospel gives Life unto sinners, upon condition they repent and believe in Christ Jesus.
