9. There are many other differences between them; as the impossibility of 1life by the one, as the case now stands; and the certainty of life by the other; and the diversity of life promised in the one, from that in the other; and a difference in respect of the seals for the one, and for the other; And a difference in respect of extent.

And a difference in respect of Appeals; though you may appeal from the Covenant of works to the Covenant of grace, yet there is no appeal from the Covenant of grace, &c. But I shall not stay any longer upon this first particular, only by the way make some few Uses from the consideration of both these Covenants.
