Reformed Covenanter

Cancelled Commissioner
... Q. Thus much of the Covenant of Works, called the Law: the Covenant of Grace followeth: What doth this Scripture call it?

A. A new Covenant.

Q. Why is it called a new Covenant?

A. Because it succeedeth the former Covenant, and was made upon the breach thereof.

Q. Doth then the making of this Covenant disable the former?

A. Yea: for the latter Covenant had not been made, if the former had not been broken, & so become insufficient. And therefore they are convinced of impiety by the very making of this covenant, who seek Justification by the old Covenant.

Q. What is this new Covenant?

A. A free contract or Covenant between God, and a sinner, concerning the pardon of sin, and life everlasting, through faith in Christ Jesus.

Q. When did this Covenant begin?

A. Immediately after the Fall. Gen. 3. 15.
