Vindiciarum vindex, being a succinct, but full answer to Mr. Philip Cary's weak and impertinent exceptions to my Vindiciæ legis & fæderis, II. a synopsis of ancient and modern Antinomian errors, with scriptural arguments and reasons against them, III. a sermon composed for the preventing and healing of rents and divisions in the churches of Christ / by John Flavell ... ; with an epistle by several divines, relating to Dr. Crisp's works.

and_o draw_v man_n from_o the_o truth_n

to_o confound_v law_n and_o gospel_n adam_n and_o christ_n covenant_n but_o the_o distinction_n betwixt_o they_o be_v his_o own_o therefore_o my_o assumption_n be_v just_a that_o this_o blood_n be_v typical_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n and_o that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n signify_v the_o one_o by_o the_o other_o be_v plain_a from_o heb._n 9_o 7_o 8._o and_o i_o never_o meet_v with_o that_o man_n that_o scruple_v it_o before_o mr._n cary._n so_o then_o my_o first_o argument_n to_o prove_v abraham_n covenant_n of_o circumcision_n to_o be_v the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n and_o not_o a_o adam_n covenant_n or_o any_o part_n thereof_o stand_v firm_a after_o mr._n c_n passionate_a reply_n which_o i_o hope_v the_o lord_n will_v pardon_v to_o he_o though_o he_o have_v scarce_o charity_n enough_o leave_v to_o desire_v a_o pardon_n for_o his_o friend_n who_o have_v neither_o wrong_v the_o truth_n nor_o he_o argument_n ii_o my_o second_o argument_n be_v this_o if_o circumcision_n be_v the_o seal_n of_o the_o righteousness_n of_o faith_n it_o do_v not_o pertain_v to_o the_o covenant_n of_o work_n for_o the_o righteousness_n of_o faith_n and_o work_n be_v opposite_a but_o circumcision_n

his_o true_a sense_n out_o of_o a_o multitude_n of_o needless_a word_n be_v this_o he_o confess_v this_o argument_n seem_v very_o plausible_a but_o however_o abraham_n be_v a_o believer_n before_o circumcision_n and_o though_o indeed_o it_o seal_v the_o righteousness_n of_o faith_n to_o he_o yet_o it_o seal_v it_o to_o he_o only_o as_o the_o father_n of_o believer_n and_o deny_v that_o ever_o
