Freedom comes, first, in doing away with government by law, or the intermixture of the covenant of works, which held the ancient people in a certain bondage” (Ames, The Marrow of Theology, 206 (XXXVIII:9)). This seems to illustrate a form of the abrogation of the CW. Ames said, “9.

If I was going to my Presbytery next week I could have asked van Vliet about it, but, alas, I will be overseas. Thanks for putting me on to that. Indeed.

Ames held to what van Vliet calls “a form of [the progressive] abrogation of the covenant of works” (van Vliet, “Decretal Theology and the Development of Covenant Thought,” 418). Cocceius was Ames' student. It is an interesting proposal.

Do you think there is a seed-form of the progressive abrogation of the covenant of works in Ames? This has been suggested and that Cocceius further developed Ames on this point. Great stuff!
