7. Adam being under the Covenant of Works, God took the very first forfeiture of breaking of this Covenant, and one sin made God to disannul that covenant, whereas the Covenant of Grace is not made void nor disannulled although you commit many sins: as you may see in Ro. 5. 16, 17. says the Apostle there, Not as it was by one that sinned so is the gift, for the judgement was by one to condemnation, but the free gift is of many offences unto justification, that is, under the Covenant of Works, there one sin did condemn all the world, but being under the Covenant of Grace there the free gift is of many offences unto justification, many sins are pardoned and many offences are passed over, the Covenant of Grace pardons many sins and over looks many weaknesses and failings, though you break your Covenant often, time after time, yet the Covenant of ⟨p. 130⟩Grace shall not be broken, the first Covenant was disannulled for one sin, but the second Covenant shall not be disannulled for many sins, as you may see in Psal. 89. 31, 32, 33. says God there, If they break my statutes, 1and keep not my Commandments, then will I visit their transgressions with the rod, and their iniquity with stripes, nevertheless my loving kindness will I not utterly take from him, nor suffer my faithfulness to fail, my Covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips, and so in Psal. 11. 5.
