Nay, I will affirm always generally, when the Scriptures of the New-Testament speak of the ⟨p. 55⟩Old Covenant, or first Covenant,1 or Covenant of Works, it passes by in silence the Covenant made with Adam; and more immediately and directly applies it to the Sinai-Covenant, and to the Covenant of Circumcision, as all careful Readers, who read the Epistles to the Romans, Galatians, and to the Hebrews, may clearly find. But to proceed, Though we say there is but one Covenant of Grace, yet it is evident there were several distinct Ministrations or Additions of it; yet we say, the Promise of the Gospel, or Gospel-Covenant, was the same in all Ages, in respect of things promised, with the Nature and Quality thereof, which is a free and absolute Covenant, without Works, or any Conditions or foreseen Acts of Righteousness, or any thing to be done by the Creature, Rom. 4. 5.
