for_o such_o a_o state_n in_o which_o they_o receive_v the_o offer_n and_o mean_n of_o grace_n which_o to_o the_o elect_a seed_n do_v become_v effectual_a much_o less_o do_v we_o teach_v that_o by_o virtue_n of_o a_o believer_n be_v in_o a_o state_n of_o grace_n all_o his_o child_n do_v partake_v of_o the_o same_o grace_n with_o he_o and_o that_o so_o far_o as_o he_o do_v these_o thing_n we_o neither_o believe_v nor_o profess_v neither_o can_v they_o be_v gather_v from_o our_o doctrine_n by_o any_o just_a consequence_n second_o to_o your_o second_o the_o answer_n be_v as_o easy_a for_o 1._o we_o do_v not_o say_v that_o the_o child_n of_o believer_n be_v holy_a with_o that_o holiness_n which_o accompani_v regeneration_n and_o mortify_v original_a corruption_n but_o only_o with_o that_o holiness_n whereby_o they_o be_v admit_v to_o the_o mean_n of_o grace_n with_o promise_n of_o efficacy_n to_o the_o elect_a seed_n and_o offer_v thereof_o to_o the_o rest_n so_o far_o as_o to_o leave_v they_o without_o excuse_n 2._o suppose_v we_o do_v hold_v that_o which_o be_v far_o from_o we_o to_o conceive_v that_o all_o infant_n in_o the_o covenant_n be_v regenerate_v and_o so_o holy_a as_o well_o as_o their_o believe_a parent_n and_o as_o far_o as_o they_o yet_o that_o will_v not_o take_v away_o the_o be_v or_o remain_v of_o original_a sin_n in_o they_o but_o only_o the_o reign_v of_o it_o for_o do_v you_o think_v that_o the_o be_v of_o original_a sin_n be_v take_v away_o from_o regenerate_a believer_n we_o for_o our_o part_n believe_v what_o we_o have_v cause_n to_o groan_v under_o that_o original_a sin_n remain_v in_o a_o believer_n and_o though_o it_o be_v pardon_v and_o in_o some_o measure_n mortify_v yet_o it_o be_v not_o utter_o destroy_v till_o death_n to_o your_o three_o we_o deny_v that_o our_o doctrine_n be_v any_o ground_n of_o fall_v away_o out_o of_o a_o estate_n of_o grace_n if_o you_o speak_v of_o a_o estate_n of_o save_a grace_n for_o we_o do_v not_o say_v that_o all_o within_o the_o covenant_n or_o under_o the_o seal_n of_o the_o covenant_n be_v in_o a_o estate_n of_o save_a grace_n though_o in_o a_o large_a sense_n all_o the_o member_n of_o the_o church_n whether_o infant_n or_o professor_n of_o the_o faith_n be_v in_o such_o a_o state_n of_o grace_n as_o that_o they_o do_v partake_v of_o the_o common_a gift_n of_o grace_n and_o of_o the_o ordinance_n of_o grace_n nevertheless_o they_o may_v fall_v away_o from_o such_o grace_n which_o the_o apostle_n fear_v in_o some_o of_o the_o galatian_n gal._n 5.4_o to_o your_o four_o and_o last_o we_o answer_v it_o be_v a_o false_a slander_n if_o you_o shall_v report_v that_o our_o doctrine_n do_v hold_v forth_o that_o ever_o esau_n or_o ishmael_n be_v subject_n of_o a_o save_a estate_n of_o save_a grace_n for_o though_o we_o say_v they_o be_v bear_v under_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n and_o be_v make_v partaker_n of_o the_o seal_n of_o the_o covenant_n yet_o we_o do_v not_o say_v they_o be_v ever_o subject_n of_o god_n save_v grace_n it_o be_v a_o grace_n to_o partake_v in_o the_o mean_n of_o grace_n and_o in_o the_o enjoyment_n of_o many_o gift_n of_o common_a grace_n and_o in_o the_o offer_v of_o save_a grace_n and_o yet_o many_o have_v enjoy_v all_o these_o who_o nevertheless_o be_v never_o subject_n of_o save_a grace_n neither_o of_o election_n whereof_o your_o two_o former_a text_n speak_v nor_o of_o perseverance_n in_o the_o covenant_n whereof_o your_o two_o latter_a speak_v and_o to_o fall_v from_o such_o a_o estate_n of_o grace_n i_o leave_v it_o to_o you_o upon_o second_o thought_n to_o judge_v whether_o it_o tend_v to_o popery_n and_o arminianism_n or_o no._n to_o gather_v up_o then_o the_o sum_n of_o all_o this_o discourse_n about_o the_o covenant_n of_o abraham_n to_o a_o head_n you_o have_v see_v it_o now_o prove_v and_o maintain_v against_o all_o exception_n 1._o that_o god_n make_v a_o covenant_n of_o grace_n with_o abraham_n and_o his_o seed_n 2._o that_o god_n give_v circumcision_n to_o be_v a_o seal_n of_o the_o same_o covenant_n to_o abraham_n and_o to_o all_o his_o infant-seed_n 3._o that_o by_o the_o redemption_n of_o christ_n the_o covenant_n and_o blessing_n of_o abraham_n be_v come_v upon_o the_o believe_a gentile_n and_o our_o seed_n 4._o these_o thing_n be_v already_o clear_v the_o four_o thing_n that_o remain_v to_o be_v clear_v be_v that_o circumcision_n be_v now_o abolish_v baptism_n succee_v in_o the_o room_n thereof_o as_o a_o seal_n of_o the_o same_o covenant_n to_o believer_n and_o our_o seed_n which_o if_o it_o may_v appear_v than_o it_o will_v appear_v also_o that_o the_o same_o covenant_n of_o grace_n which_o give_v a_o commandment_n or_o word_n of_o institution_n for_o the_o circumcision_n of_o faithful_a abraham_n and_o his_o seed_n do_v also_o hold_v forth_o the_o same_o commandment_n and_o word_n of_o institution_n for_o the_o baptism_n of_o faithful_a gentile_n and_o our_o seed_n now_o that_o baptism_n do_v succeed_v circumcision_n it_o be_v evident_a from_o the_o testimony_n of_o paul_n col._n 2.11_o 12._o where_o the_o apostle_n have_v prove_v that_o we_o be_v complete_a in_o christ_n by_o the_o fullness_n of_o the_o godhead_n dwell_v in_o he_o v._o 9_o ●0_n lest_o it_o may_v be_v object_v that_o we_o want_v circumcision_n and_o consequent_o we_o want_v the_o spiritual_a benefit_n signify_v and_o seal_v by_o it_o which_o be_v the_o cut_n off_o of_o the_o body_n of_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o flesh_n the_o apostle_n answer_v we_o be_v circumcise_v with_o the_o circumcision_n make_v without_o hand_n in_o put_v off_o the_o body_n of_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o flesh_n by_o the_o circumcision_n of_o christ_n v._o 11._o and_o lest_o it_o shall_v have_v be_v object_v again_o that_o we_o want_v a_o outward_a sign_n and_o seal_n of_o this_o spiritual_a benefit_n the_o put_v off_o of_o the_o body_n of_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o flesh_n the_o apostle_n answer_v again_o no_o neither_o do_v we_o want_v the_o outward_a sign_n and_o seal_v thereof_o we_o be_v bury_v with_o he_o in_o baptism_n v._o 12._o the_o argument_n seem_v to_o i_o somewhat_o weak_a silvester_n silvester_n and_o therefore_o a_o weak_a answer_n shall_v serve_v what_o though_o baptism_n succeed_v circumcision_n must_v it_o need_v follow_v that_o as_o infant_n be_v circumcise_v so_o they_o must_v of_o necessity_n be_v baptize_v the_o new_a testament_n succee_v the_o old_a must_v it_o need_v therefore_o follow_v that_o the_o same_o order_n be_v observe_v now_o as_o then_o it_o be_v well_o that_o you_o acknowledge_v the_o weakness_n of_o your_o answer_n silvanus_n silvanus_n for_o if_o you_o have_v not_o the_o weakness_n of_o it_o bewray_v itself_o but_o we_o acknowledge_v no_o weakness_n of_o the_o argument_n unless_o it_o be_v the_o weakness_n of_o god_n which_o the_o apostle_n say_v be_v strong_a than_o man_n 1_o cor._n 1.25_o but_o you_o be_v deceive_v if_o you_o think_v a_o weak_a answer_n will_v serve_v a_o weak_a argument_n a_o weak_a adversary_n despise_v gather_v strength_n by_o contempt_n the_o gileadite_n be_v despise_v as_o fugitive_n prove_v too_o hear_v for_o the_o ephraimite_n judg._n 12.4_o the_o jew_n be_v despise_v for_o a_o feeble_a company_n strengthen_v themselves_o in_o god_n from_o the_o contempt_n of_o their_o despiser_n nehem._n 4.2_o 3_o 4._o yea_o there_o be_v no_o sinful_a weakness_n of_o the_o creature_n no_o not_o any_o weak_a thought_n but_o require_v weapon_n mighty_a through_o god_n to_o subdue_v it_o 2_o cor._n 10.4_o 5._o and_o therefore_o you_o be_v much_o mistake_v when_o you_o think_v a_o weak_a answer_n will_v serve_v a_o weak_a argument_n but_o let_v we_o consider_v your_o answer_n such_o as_o it_o be_v what_o though_o say_v you_o baptism_n succee_v circumcision_n must_v it_o need_v follow_v that_o as_o infant_n be_v circumcise_v they_o must_v of_o necessity_n be_v baptize_v yes_o very_o or_o else_o baptism_n do_v not_o succeed_v circumcision_n for_o what_o be_v succession_n but_o the_o substitution_n of_o latter_a thing_n for_o former_a thing_n in_o the_o same_o subject_n if_o the_o
