but
here,
J
fay,
is
the
difference;
In
the
one
grace aiveth the covenant, and
grace giveth
the condition
of
the covenant
;
but
a
condition
is
annexed
though.
:
Now
hence
we
may argue ( and none but
encintes
to
the Golpel
can denie
it
)
if
the covenant
of
grace
do bind
a
mans conlcience, then
certainly the condition
of
tine
covenant
bindeth
a
mans
confci-
enee
too
: But the
covenant
of
grace bindeth
the
conlcience
of
the
regenerate
;
and
therefore the
condition
of
it bindeth.
'If
you ask,
What
is
tins
to
obedience?
the
anlîver
is,
That obedi-
ence
is
the
condition
of
the covenant
of
grace,
as
the

Thus
ye

the
law
of
God
bindeth

all
the regenerate.

Then
hence
we may learn,
that
no
