To my second Argument, 1recited p. 94. where I argued from God's Covenant with Abraham, and proved it to be conditional; and yet by you acknowledged to be a pure Gospel-covenant: all that you say, is, That you have dispatched that before, in your Discourse about the Covenant of Circumcision, and therefore will say nothing to it here.

In saying nothing to it here,1 you have said as much as you did before in the place you refer to; and therefore finding nothing said here or there, I conclude you can say nothing to it at all.

My third Argument was this.1 If all the Promises of the Gospel be absolute and unconditional, then they do not properly belong to the New Covenant. That cannot properly and strictly be a Covenant ⟨p. 269⟩which is not a mutual Compact, and in which there is no restipulation, nor reobligation: 'tis a naked Promise, not a Covenant.
