Excerpt from The Doctrine of the Two Covenants: Wherein the Nature of Original Sin Is Explained and St. Paul and St. James Reconciled in the Great Article of Justification

This, therefore, I shall endeavour to treat of, as briefly and as clearly as the subject will permit, from the words which I have now read unto you; which are the transcript and copy of those two great contracts made between heaven and earth, God and man the one, from the beginning of his being, and that is the Covenant Of Works; the other, immediately upon his fall and ruin, and that is the Covenant Of Grace: the one, called here the Righteousness Of the Law; and the other, the Righteousness Of Faith.

But, before I can particularly treat on this sub jcet, I must first show you what a Covenant is, in its general notion; and whether there is, or can be any such thing as a proper covenant between God and man.
