The safety of appearing at the day of judgement, in the righteousness of Christ

The covenant of Works is an everlasting rule of righteousness between God and man: this is a Rule that God never will vary from: it is not proper to say that the covenant of works is abrogated, it is very true that the condemning power of it respecting Believers is taken away, but that is by the fulfilling of the Law, not abrogating of it: the covenant of works does yet continue in its full force: it takes place against the sins of ungodly men, being executed to the full upon them, Mat. 5.18. it has taken place against the sins of the Elect, upon Jesus Christ: the curse having been executed upon him, Gal 3.13. He ba•k redeemed us from the curse, being made a curse for us: and God does bestow eternal life upon none, but those who have fulfilled the righteousness of the Law in their Surety: eternal life is given as a recompense of Christs Righteousness, Rom. 5.21.
