2. How a Covenant may be made between God and men.
That Covenant could not be made without a Mediator: for we could neither satisfy, nor come again in favour with God, no nor receive the benefit of reconciliation procured by another. Furthermore, God in his justice would not admit of us without sufficient satisfaction: we were the enemies of God, therefore the entrance and access to God lay not open to us before he was pacified by the merit of our Mediator, as it hath been showed more at large before in that question, Why a Mediator is necessary for us. The reconciliation could not be plenarily accomplished without the satisfaction and death of the Mediator. Again, without the Mediator regenerating us, we should not have been able to stand to the conditions; and so had the Covenant been made of no force.
