"At last Saul drives David fairly out, like a flea or a partridge, he then became an outcast, this was necessary for his separation from all that was going to be judged, then David becomes a mighty man. In the cave of Adullam I find God’s Prophet, Priest, & King ..." -J.N. Darby

John Owen on Heb 8:6 (23:76): there are two distinct covenants, not a twofold administration of the same covenant of grace, even though he had affirmed this idea tens years earlier in Savoy Declaration 7:5. So: 1) was the later Owen confessional? 2) was the later Owen Reformed?

Just to be clear ... the John Darby who published Owen's works in the 17th century is NOT the John Nelson Darby who was born in 1800 ...
John Owen's commentary on Hebrews was published by ... John Darby. Tell me again that Owen wasn't a dispensationalist.
