A Treatise of the Covenant of Grace: Facsimile Reprint from the 1645 Edition

John Ball's Treatise of the Covenant of Grace, published in 1645 by his friend Simeon Ash after Ball's death, is a major work on the subject of God's covenant, and comes with recommendations from other leading Puritans such as Edmund Calamy. This book studies such topics as: • what a covenant is • the different ways in which God made covenant in the Old and New Testaments • how Christ is the Mediator of the New Testament • how Christ brings his people into covenant • how Christians answer Christ's call John Ball (1585-1640) was a Puritan of Presbyterian persuasion. Educated at Brasenose College, Oxford, he became a minister in Whitmore, Staffordshire, but was deprived of his living, and imprisoned for periods. He wrote many books and was learned in the controversy with the Roman Church. His writings were popular in New England, although he wrote a criticism of the independent church government practised there.
