2. Who teach that the purpose of Christ’s death was not to establish in actual fact a new covenant of grace by his blood, but only to acquire for the Father the mere right to enter once more into a covenant with men, whether of grace or of works.

For this conflicts with Scripture, which teaches that Christ “has become the guarantee and mediator” of a better—that is, “a new”—“covenant” ([Heb. 7:22](/get-passage/Hebrews+7:22); [9:15](/get-passage/Hebrews+9:15)), and that “a will is in force only when someone has died” ([Heb. 9:17](/get-passage/Hebrews+9:17)).
