The covenant of nature made with Adam described, and cleared from sundry great mistakes

I And thereby proving, I. That the kind of death that was threatned in that covenant, in Gen. 2. 17. ought not to be understood of any other kind of death but of a double spiritual death, 1. By depriving Adam of Gods concreated image: and 2. By corruption of nature that followed thereupon. II. Proving that the said covenant was totally extinguished and made utterly null, as soon as Adam had but tasted of the forbidden fruit, and received the said threatned punishment. III. Expounding Gal. 3. 10. and proving that the curse therein threatned must not be understood of the curse of the said covenant of nature, but of that curse that is threatned in the covenant of grace to the fallen posterity of Adam, for their not doing of Moses law by faith in Christ, which was given to them for the covenant of grace and reconciliation only. IV. Expounding Gen. 3. 15. of a double warlike combate; 1. Between the Devil and the now converted believing woman with all her believing seed. 2. Between the Devils potent seed, and the one single seed of the woman, (Christ.) V. Expounding Dan. 9. 24, 25, 26, 27. for the fuller explanation of the time and manner of confirming the covenant of grace and reconciliation. VI. Explaining the true nature of Gods forgiveness, and howit makes believing sinners to be perfectly righteous in Gods sight, from Ch. 15. to Ch. 23. VII. Expounding every word in Isa. 53. 5 in Ch. 24. VIII. Expounding Rom. 8. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. 6, 6, 8. in Ch. 25
