Thus having by way of premise opened these five particulars, I shall now draw out this one Observation from the words.
Doctr. Doctr. That all men during the time of their unregeneracy, are strangers to the Covenants of Grace, so that they can lay no just claim to any promise of having life and Salvation by Christ; you are strangers to the Covenants ⟨p. 121⟩of promise; and (Beloved) when I tell you, that you have no title to any one promise of life or Salvation by Christ, it is the saddest news that ever you can open your ears to hear; if you are a stranger to the Covenant you are without all the promises, for the covenant is a bundle of promises, all the promises of God bound up together; In the handling of this point I shall only show you two things, and then apply it.

1. I shall show you what the Covenant of Grace is.
