4. Sometimes that is styled New, which is diverse from what it was before; 12 Cor. 5. 17. If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature; that is, he is not such a creature as he was before; he is renewed, he is changed into the image of the glory of the Lord, 2 Cor. 3. 18. In this respect also is the Covenant styled New, not only because it is diverse from the Covenant of works, (in the foundation and condition, and qualifications of the persons in Covenant) but also because it is diverse from it self, in respect of the administration of it, after that Christ was manifested in the flesh, and died, and rose again; from the different administration it is called Old and New.
