Adam was not to believe or pray for perseverance. There being in the Covenant of works no influences, by which we may will and do to the end, promised to Adam; and no predeterminating influences, and no Gospel-fear of God, by which we shall persevere, and not depart from the Lord, being promised in the new and everlasting covenant, Jer. 32. 39.This principal difference between the covenants remains to be discussed.There must be in this point, considerable differences between the Covenants as Rutherford carefully unfolds in this classic work.
