PROPOSITION, V.

:68p. 33

The covenant of works requires perfect but not personal obedience: the obedience required in the covenant of works is perfect, for one transgression lays man open to the curse, but it does not stand upon personal obedience: every one is obliged to personal obedience: but this is upon another account, and not by virtue of the covenant of works: the covenant of works never tied us up to personal obedience as the condition of life: God has been so far from binding us up to personal obedience as the condition of life, that he never did propose that way unto us: but from the beginning of the world constituted a public person to act in our behalf, and upon his failing immediately revealed Jesus Christ to be another public person to act for us, Rom. 5.19.
