That Covenant that contains in it the whole matter and form in Conditions and Promises of the Covenant of Grace, doth not Essentially differ from it; but the Covenant of Redemption doth contain in it the Conditions and Promises of Grace, yea, all things that pertain to Life and Godliness: And it contains in it all conditions upon which we may be partakers of any Promises, i. e. Christ's Person, Offices, Sacrifice, Righteousness active and passive; there's no Covenant condition of Atonement, Propitiation or Satisfaction unto the Justice of God: But it is here, Christ is the great fulfiller of the Law and satisfier of it;1 and he is the end of the Law for righteousness to every one that believeth.
