About this ebook
In this powerful treatise on the covenant of grace, Hooker teaches from Genesis 17:23, “And Abraham took Ishmael his son, and all that were born in his house…and circumcised the flesh of their foreskin…as God had said unto him.” He covers, 1. What the Covenant of Grace is, 2. What the seals of the covenant are, and 3. Who the parties and subjects are fit to receive these seals. From all these particulars he shows how infant baptism is fully proved and vindicated.
His explanation is poignant, clear, practical and eminently biblical. He shows what the covenant of grace is, the spiritual efficacy of the covenant, who are those capable of being in covenant with God, the operation of the spirit, the importance of federal holiness, lawful administration of the covenant seals, and he even takes time to refute Anabaptism. (His section on federal holiness is worth the cost of this volume alone.)
This is not a scan or facsimile, has been updated in modern English for easy reading and has an active table of contents for electronic versions.
