1. There is no Scripture Evidence for making these Two Covenants distinct one of Suretyship or Redemption with Christ, and another of Grace and Reconciliation with us: that distinction which some use, is improper, for the Parts of it are co-incident, seeing that, as with Christ, was out of me Grace also, Joh. 3.16. And it was promised, that Jesus Christ should be given for a Covenant; and therefore, it is of Grace, that we are redeemed by him, 2. Tim. 1.9. There was Grace before the World was, and that must be in the Covenant, as with Jesus Christ which was for reconciling the World unto the Father, 2. Cor. 5.18, 19▪ Col. 1.20, 21.
