Of the COVENANT of God.
IT was said, that the Mediator is a person reconciling parties which are at variance, to wit, God and men. Now this reconciliation in the Scriptures is termed, The Covenant and Testament, which is the Correlative, that is, hath a mutual respect to the Mediator: for every Mediator is the Mediator of some covenant, and a reconciler of parties who are at enmity. Wherefore the doctrine which treateth of the Covenant of God, is linked with the Place concerning the Mediator. The chief Questions hereof are these: 1. What a Covenant is. 2. Whether it can be made without a Mediator. 3. Whether there be but one and the same Covenant, or more. 4. In what the old and new Covenant agree, and in what they differ.
