Error IX.
They will not allow the New Covenant to be made properly with us, but ⟨p. 322⟩with Christ for us; and that this Covenant is all of it a Promise, having no Condition on our part. They do not absolutely deny that Faith, Repentance and Obedience, are Conditions in the New Covenant; but say, They are not Conditions on our part, but Christ's; and that he repented, believed, and obeyed, for us. Saltmarsh, of Free-grace, p. 126, 127.
Error X.
They speak very slightingly of trying our selves by marks and signs of Grace. Saltmarsh often calls it a weak, low, carnal way; but the New-England Antinomians, or Libertines, call it a fundamental Error, to make Sanctification an evidence of Justification; that it is to light a Candle to the Sun; that it darkens our Justification; and that the darker our Sanctification is, the brighter our Justification is. See their Book, entitled, Rise, Reign. Error 72.
