way

of

the

f

coed Covenant,

that

the Covenant of grace,and the Father

makes his Son

the

gives

him

;

for

hewill

not that

thofe

that

the Father gave

to

him, he

fhould repre-

fent to

him, and they should

have

the

Gofpel in

to

them;

And this righteoufnefs should

be made

known by

the Gofpel,

and

by,

the Spirit of

God

they should come

to

be

convinced of this

righteouinefìe,

and by

faith this

thould be

made over

to them,

that

the

furferings and

obedience

of

Jefus

Christ whichhe

tenders

up

to God

the Father,thould

be made

over unto

beleevers,

and

to tender it

likewife

to

G©d

the

for

this

is

the

of

Jeus

Chrift.

Thus
