Fifteen discourses upon doctrinal, connected subjects, with practical improvements, viz. On the primitive covenant of work, or law of nature. On the eternal obligation of the law of nature. On the universal condemnation of sinners by the law and covenant of works. On the impossibility of the sinner's justification, by the law, in the sight of God.

On the second or bette covenant of our Lord Jesus Christ. On faith and its connection with justification and holiness.
