4. In what the old and new Covenant agree, and in what they differ.
1Whereas the Covenant is one, and yet the Scripture speaketh thereof as of two, we are to consider wherein the old and new Testament concur and agree, and wherein they differ. They agree,§1 2In their Author, which is God; and in their Mediator, which is Christ. Object. But some man will say, Moses was the Mediator of the old Covenant. Ans. True, as in a type, adjoined to the Mediator which was signified, who then also was Mediator, but now is sole Mediator without that typical Mediator: For he is manifested in the flesh, and is no more covered with types.§2 3In the promise of grace, touching remission of sins, and life everlasting to be given freely by and for Christ the Mediator, to those only who believe; which promise was common to the old Church, as well as to us: For God promised the same grace and mercy unto all who believe in the Mediator; In thy seed shall the nations of the earth be blessed. 4The seed of the woman shall break the head of the serpent. I will be thy God, and the God of thy seed. He that believeth in the Son hath life everlasting. We believe, through the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ to be saved, even as they do. Now here we speak not in particular of the circumstances of grace; but in general, of the promise of grace. But Covenants have the same corporal promises also, but that only in general.§3
