I think so.
Here's another quote from the link:
The Westminster Confession is unambiguous in its federal theology. The first covenant made with man was a Covenant of Works (7.2) which, after man had sinned (7.3), was replaced by a Covenant of Grace (7.3). The Baptist Confession, on the other hand, is far more elusive. Although the distinction between God and the Creature is described in terms of Covenant (7.1) and the salvific relationship between God and the elect is described in terms of a Covenant of Grace (7.2), there is no mention of a Covenant of Works in the chapter ‘Of God’s Covenant with Man’. This unwillingness to mention the Covenant of Works seems to directly contravene the Westminster Confession’s strict division between the pre-fall and post-fall covenants. However, a closer analysis of the whole text of the Baptist Confession reveals three references to the Covenant of Works in the section on the Law of God (19.6, twice) and in the chapter added from Savoy on the extent of the Gospel (20.1). This undoubtedly leads to the question: Why is there an avoidance of any language of a Covenant of Works in the chapter on ‘God’s Covenant with Man’?
