Thanks Patrick.
As WCF says: “This covenant of grace is frequently set forth in Scripture by the name of a testament…”
“This covenant was differently administered in the time of the law, and in the time of the gospel…”
“…it is held forth in more fullness, evidence and spiritual efficacy, to all nations, both Jews and Gentiles; and is called the new testament. There are not therefore two covenants of grace, differing in substance, but one and the same, under various dispensations.”
~ The roots of dispensationalism! ~

I don’t know if I’d call it the “roots,” and I suppose it would depend on which brand of dispensationalism, but there are some interesting parallels.
