SERMON VIII.
The condition of the covenant is Faith: holiness and sanctification is the condition of Covenanters,1 Gal. 4.21.22.23.24. Rom. 10.4.5.6.7. This do was the condition of the Covenant of Works: This believe, is the condition of this Covenant; because Faith sendeth a person out of himself, and taketh him off his own bottom, that in Christ he may have his righteousness: works is a more selfy condition, and giveth therefore, 2. less glory to God: Faith holdeth forth God in Christ in the most lively and lovely properties of Free-grace, mercy, love transcendent; hence a believer as such cannot possibly glory in himself; all that Faith hath, is by way of receiving, and begging wise.
