have
to
deal
u,i-th
God
in the Covenant
of
grace
:
and
this
will
be
of
marvellous
ufe unto
you
;
perhaps to
Come
th,fe
are
very dry things,
and
they
fee but
little
in
theta,
and scarce
know
what they
be
;
but
1
hope
there
be
many
cthcrs
;hat
have
knowledge
of
an
eternal
Rate
to
-be
between
God
and
their
fouls
;
I hope
I
fpeak
things
will
be
very prt
ciuus o
them
;
yea,
I
fay unto many
of
you
;
for
while
1
am
in
th
s
argument,
I
am
(peaking to
filch as have had
the tear
of
God
fain upon
their hearts
,
and
they
have made it the
great
buíinefs
of
their
lives, above all things in this
world
,
to
know how terms are between
God
and
their
fouls
,
to
know
how
it Rands
with
them for
their
everlafting eftates
;
I
know
abundance
of
people fcarceever
call
thefe things
in
que-
ftion ,
to whom
there
Rules will
be
of
little
or
no
ufe
at
all
;
but
if
I
fpeak to fume,
or
any one
troubled
foul
to
help
and
dires
them,
though
I
do
no
good to
others
I
(hall
think
my
time well
fpenr;
wherefore
then
in
your
exami-
nations
ever
carry
this
with you, that
you have to deal
with
God
in the Covenant
of grace,
and
not
in a
Covenant
of
works
:
Certainly,
that
many
are
fo'
troubled
in
their
Confciences about
their eternal
elates,
it
is
on this
ground
,
becaufe
they
look
upon
God
in
the way
of
the Covenant
of
works
;
if they
find
any
corruptions
ftirring
and
breaking
forth,
and
temptations
ftrong
upon
them
,
they
think pre -
fently
all is
naught, and that
God
will never accept
of
them
;
What
is
the
reafon
?
If
we had
to
deal
with
God
in
a
Co-
venant
of
works, the laeft
ftirring of
corruption,
it
is
enough
to
caft the
foul
down into eternal
horrour
;
as
e4dam,
though
he had never
fo much
goodnefs before
by
the Image
of
God
upon him, yet
one
fin
eternally
caft him
if
there
had
not
come
in
a
Covenant
of
grace
:
Now,
though
people will
acknowledge there
is
a
Covenant
of
grace
,
yet
upon
the
ftirring
of
their
corruption , they
carry
it
as
that
it ferves
for
no
other
ufe
than
if
they
had
to
deal
with
God
in
a
Covenant
of
works
,
and
as
if
there were
no
Covenant
of
grace
at all
:
Now,
what
a
difhonour
is
this
to the riches
of
Gods
goodnefs
in
the Covenant
of
grace, that
tells
us,
We
are
not
to be
judged
for
onr
eternal
c'Rte
by
the
Covenant
of
lvorks
;
