As for the New Testament, it is the Covenant of Grace: the whole carriage of our salvation is called the Covenant of Grace: because, God, of Grace doth enter into Covenant with us. He sent Christ of Grace, who is the foundation of the Covenant. The fulfilling of it on our part, is of Grace; he gives us faith, Faith is the gift of God, he puts his fear in our hearts that we should not depart from him. And when he enters into Covenant with us, it is of Grace and love. It was of Grace that he sent Christ to be the foundation of the Covenant; that in the satisfying of his justice, he might be gracious to us, without disparagement to his justice. Of Grace he fulfils the condition on our part: we are no more able to believe, then we are to fulfil the law; but he enables us by his word and spirit, (attending upon the means of Salvation) to fulfil the Covenant. And when we have done all, he gives us of Grace, Eternal life, all is of Grace.
