There are two Covenants which are inconsistent with this Covenant of grace. 1. One is the Covenant of good works. 2. The other is the Covenant with bad works; If one will set up his confidence on his own good works, he makes void the Covenant of grace; and if one will set his heart upon his sin, saying, I will not leave my sins, I love them, I will not forsake them; This man disables himself, he doth debar and exclude himself; God will not be his God, he will not make a Covenant with him; and indeed this sinner will not make a Covenant with God.
