¹4. They differ in the subject, matter: The Covenant of Redemption is, 1. who shall be the surety of Redemption to undertake for man? Here am I, saith the Son, thy fellow, Zech. 13.7. 2. What shall be his work? What shall be his wage? He shall lay down his life, that shall be his work: he shall be obedient to his Father to the death, even the death of the cross. And his wage shall be, He shall see his seed, and God shall give him a name above every name. But no such work is laid on us, nor such a reward to be expected by us in the Covenant of Reconciliation. Only here life and forgiveness is promised to us upon condition of believing in Christ: and fit it is that Christ be alone, none under such a Commandment as He,² Joh. 10.18.
