Aphorism.
JEr. 31. 31, &c. Heb. 8. 8, &c. containeth * 1.1 not the full tenor of the whole New-Cove∣venant: But either it is called the New-Covenant, be∣cause it expresseth the nature of the benefits of the New-Covenant, as they are offered on God's part, without mentioning mans conditions, &c.
Animadvers.
What conditions on mans part can be assigned, which are not implied, Jer. 31. 33. & Heb. 8. 10. I will put my Law in their inward parts, and will write it in their hearts? Where also it is expressed that God will work these conditions which he doth require; as presently here you acknowledg, saying, Or

* 1.2Memorandum, That I have over, and over, and over professed my self of your judgment, as you confess, and I have fullier elswhere expressed. Only taking it for more difficult than sometime I have done, I hold it not as so clear and certain a truth, but that in modesty I may take in the other opinion.

If it should be but the Confirmation, Radication, or further degree of Grace that is here meant, then your Answer may be at hand. 2. What condition on mans part is there, that is not comprehended in circumcising the heart to love the Lord, and the heart of their seed? and yet it is promised conditionally, Deut. 31. 3. What condition on mans part is there, that is not com∣prized in the gift of the Holy Ghost? Yet God giveth his Holy Spirit to them that ask it. And how oft is the Holy Ghost said to be given to them that believe? And Christ promiseth, Prov. 1. Turn ye at my reproof, and [I will pour out my Spirit unto you.] But this is against my self and you.
