It is of vast Importance and Concernment, for men to be duly instructed and established in the Doctrine of the Covenant: since most of the Errors of the Times are thereby confuted. Blind Popish Errors, concerning Merits, Satisfaction, many Mediators, &c. Arminian Tenets about Universal Redemption, Free Will, Apostasy from Grace, &c. Socinian Heresies, denying the Deity and Satisfaction of Christ. All these Errors are inconsistent with the Covenant of Redemption, ⟨image 5⟩according as the Doctrine thereof hath (in these later Times of Light especially) been held forth from the Scriptures by ^*several whom the Lord hath raised up, and enabled unto that Service for his Name. Antinomian Errors oppose the Truth of the Covenant, both as established with Christ (the Second Adam) and with Believers who are his Seed, that by the Gospel are required to live according to the Holy Rules of the Word of God, and concerning whom the Lord hath promised that they shall do so. Isa. 60. 21. with 53. 10, 11. Anabaptistical Errors have been very fatal to the Churches of Christ since the Reformation; in which respect a ^gLearned Man giveth wise Counsel, when he adviseth the Ministers of the Gospel to be (in a more especial man-ner) Industrious to establish their People in Truths that are contrary to such Errors. It is from Mistakes about the ⟨image 5⟩Covenant, that Men are carried away with deluding Opinions, to the unspeakable Prejudice of their Children as well as of themselves. For my own part, I do solemnly profess it, I value that Covenant-Interest, which God of his Grace in Christ (through the blessing of Abraham come upon the Gentiles) hath vouchsafed not only to me, but to my Children, to be ten thousand Times better, than any earthly Inheritance which this World can afford: And truly, they have little reason to expect that God will bless them in their Posterity, who set at nought so blessed a Privilege.
