"Our object should not be to have scripture on our side but to be on the side of scripture; and however dear any sentiment may have become by being long entertained, so soon as it is seen to be contrary to the Bible, we must be prepared to abandon it without hesitation."

Nice post. From my understanding it falls under Works, but has grace in it. But I'm not sure so I'm reading Robertson's Christ of the Covenants and the Witsius' Economy of the Covenants. Which is available online.

But I did notice you didn't use the typical word found in older Reformed literature when referring to how the covenants are disposed.

Here it is:








Wait for it...







"Dispensation"

"Whatever the cause, the Calvinists were the only fighting Protestants. It was they whose faith gave them courage to stand up for the Reformation. In England, Scotland, France, Holland, they,... did the work, and but for them the Reformation would have been crushed... If it had not been for Calvinists,... and whatever you like to call them, the Pope and Philip would have won, and we should either be Papists or Socialists." ~ Sir John Skelton

It ought to be remembered that the imperatives of the Law are preceded by the indicatives of grace (see prologue in Ex.20). 'Both / and' is a nonsense. Luther warns us against turning Christ into another Moses.
