2. The Covenant of works did never save any righteous person. What saving 1power might be found from it upon a supposition of Adams standing, I dispute not; but this I say, There never was any one person saved actually by the Covenant of works: But yet the Covenant of Grace doth save all Believers. Jesus Christ came into the world to save sinners, 1 Tim. 1. 15. Whosoever believeth in him, shall not perish but have everlasting life, Joh. 3. 15. We believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ we shall be saved even as they. Ephes. 2. 8. By grace ye are saved through faith. 1 Pet. 1. 9. Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls. Thus you see that the Covenant of grace is the best Covenant, in comparison of the Covenant of works.
