This seems more acute than solid. For may not the Con∣ditions of the Covenant be broken, though they be not finally broken? The Conditions of the New-Covenant are, to re∣pent and believe. Now if they to whom the New-Covenant is tendered, be impenitent and unbelieving; so long as they are so, they break the Conditions of the New-Covenant, whether it be only for a time, or to the end. Indeed if the Covenant-Conditions be at length performed, they are not absolutely bro∣ken; but yet broken they are, whilst they are not performed, and yet ought to be performed. The New-Covenant you grant, may be neglected; but it is not neglected, if the Conditions of it be performed: And to distinguish between not-performing the Conditions of the Covenant, when it is tendered, and break∣ing the Conditions of it; I think is not sound.
