"Perpetual" appears in the Confession 19:1 and Larger Catechism Q&A 20. My apologies. My only excuse is that I am more familiar with the 3 Forms.

Thanks for pointing out the typological character of the covenant of works under Moses, too. It certainly would be problematic to have sinners in a position where they could (even hypothetically) merit eternal life. I would just point out, in light of your statement (attributed to Kline's view) "The nation is God’s typological son and called to perfect, perpetual and personal [in some sort of national sense] obedience," that Kline rejected the adjective "perpetual" in this context. If my memory serves me, that was a Murray-accretion. It was not that Kline thought that God's just requirement would ever change or end, but rather that probation precludes the possibility of perpetual works that are not recompensed one way or the other.
