upon_o the_o place_n in_o hand_n who_o confess_v that_o the_o apostle_n digress_v into_o the_o large_a field_n of_o predestination_n yea_o arminius_n himself_o in_o his_o analysis_n of_o this_o chapter_n dare_v not_o deny_v it_o though_o he_o fain_o will_v have_v premise_v these_o thing_n we_o come_v to_o his_o answer_n the_o substance_n of_o which_o be_v that_o ishmael_n be_v not_o himself_o reject_v of_o god_n but_o only_o a_o type_n of_o these_o that_o be_v not_o the_o child_n of_o god_n which_o we_o shall_v refute_v by_o evince_v these_o two_o thing_n 1._o that_o though_o ishmael_n be_v consider_v here_o as_o a_o type_n only_o this_o place_n give_v good_a ground_n for_o the_o doctrine_n of_o our_o confession_n of_o faith_n against_o which_o he_o here_o fight_v 2._o that_o ishmael_n himself_o be_v not_o elect_v as_o for_o the_o first_o of_o these_o proposition_n it_o be_v evident_a for_o otherwise_o there_o shall_v be_v no_o correspondence_n betwixt_o the_o type_n and_o the_o antitype_n and_o so_o a_o type_n shall_v not_o be_v a_o type_n i_o prove_v it_o if_o ishmael_n be_v exclude_v from_o be_v count_v the_o seed_n of_o abraham_n only_o by_o the_o mere_a good_a pleasure_n and_o absolute_a dispensation_n of_o god_n and_o not_o conditional_o so_o that_o ishmael_n himself_o can_v have_v cause_v it_o to_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o he_o shall_v have_v be_v count_v the_o legitimate_a heir_n and_o lawful_a beget_v son_n of_o

abraham_n of_o who_o the_o church_n and_o christ_n according_a to_o the_o flesh_n be_v to_o spring_n than_o there_o be_v some_o pass_v by_o in_o the_o eternal_a decree_n of_o god_n and_o that_o absolute_o to_o who_o god_n from_o all_o eternity_n determine_v to_o give_v no_o save_v grace_n but_o punish_v they_o for_o their_o sin_n but_o the_o former_a be_v true_a yea_o and_o so_o true_a that_o i_o be_o sure_a none_o acknowledge_v the_o scripture_n will_v deny_v it_o the_o major_n be_v no_o less_o clear_a except_o as_o we_o say_v before_o any_o shall_v be_v so_o absurd_a as_o to_o deny_v a_o correspondency_n or_o analogy_n betwixt_o type_n and_o antitype_n and_o so_o deny_v a_o type_n to_o be_v a_o type_n for_o in_o this_o ishmael_n be_v a_o type_n in_o that_o he_o be_v not_o reckon_v to_o be_v the_o seed_n of_o abraham_n and_o a_o child_n of_o the_o flesh_n not_o a_o child_n of_o promise_n all_o which_o come_v to_o pass_v by_o the_o absolute_a dispensation_n of_o god_n and_o not_o conditional_o so_o that_o ishmael_n may_v have_v bring_v to_o pass_v that_o he_o shall_v have_v be_v the_o legitimate_a heir_n and_o seed_n of_o abraham_n and_o bear_v by_o virtue_n of_o a_o special_a promise_n neither_o on_o the_o other_o hand_n be_v the_o election_n of_o isaac_n unto_o these_o privilege_n from_o which_o ishmael_n be_v exclude_v conditional_a but_o by_o the_o absolute_a dispensation_n of_o god_n for_o i_o think_v none_o will_v say_v that_o isaac_n can_v have_v hinder_v himself_o to_o be_v bear_v by_o virtue_n of_o a_o special_a promise_n and_o so_o count_v the_o only_a son_n as_o we_o see_v he_o be_v call_v gen._n 22._o 2._o therefore_o if_o there_o be_v any_o correspondence_n betwixt_o type_n and_o antitype_n the_o lord_n from_o all_o eternity_n do_v pass_v by_o some_o that_o be_v decree_v that_o he_o will_v not_o give_v they_o grace_n but_o permit_v they_o to_o remain_v child_n of_o the_o flesh_n who_o he_o do_v not_o give_v unto_o christ_n jesus_n to_o be_v his_o seed_n by_o virtue_n of_o the_o promise_n of_o the_o covenant_n of_o redemption_n we_o come_v now_o to_o the_o second_o proposition_n viz._n that_o ishmael_n himself_o be_v not_o elect_v this_o by_o any_o thing_n we_o can_v learn_v from_o scripture_n be_v most_o evident_a for_o 1._o he_o be_v by_o god_n own_o command_n thrust_v out_o of_o the_o church_n gen._n 21.12_o and_o that_o upon_o the_o account_n of_o his_o persecute_v the_o heir_n of_o promise_n and_o the_o church_n and_o image_n of_o god_n in_o he_o gen._n 21.9_o gal._n 4.29_o now_o in_o scripture_n we_o find_v no_o mention_n make_v of_o his_o repentance_n or_o readmission_n into_o the_o church_n hence_o there_o be_v no_o ground_n of_o charity_n concern_v his_o salvation_n 2._o we_o find_v nothing_o that_o ishmael_n exercise_v all_o his_o life_n except_o robbery_n and_o bloodshed_n as_o appear_v from_o gen._n 16.12_o and_o 20_o v._n which_o lesson_n the_o saracen_n his_o posterity_n have_v

together_o the_o lord_n clear_o intimate_v that_o he_o will_v neither_o establish_v his_o covenant_n with_o himself_o nor_o with_o his_o seed_n and_o clear_o assert_n that_o the_o thing_n in_o which_o he_o hear_v abraham_n for_o his_o son_n ishmael_n be_v only_o these_o pertain_v to_o this_o life_n from_o all_o which_o it_o be_v clear_a that_o ishmael_n live_v and_o die_v without_o grace_n or_o special_a favour_n of_o god_n and_o therefore_o be_v no_o elect_a vessel_n for_o i_o believe_v that_o none_o will_v deny_v that_o the_o make_v out_o by_o scripture_n that_o ishmael_n live_v without_o the_o special_a favour_n of_o god_n will_v abundant_o clear_v this_o place_n from_o all_o the_o mist_n whereby_o our_o adversary_n endeavour_v to_o darken_v it_o that_o which_o he_o say_v of_o moses_n
