he_o be_v most_o just_o call_v the_o father_n of_o the_o faithful_a the_o first_o be_v though_o abraham_n be_v above_o a_o hundred_o year_n old_a when_o this_o promise_n be_v make_v and_o sara_n be_v old_a and_o barren_a and_o both_o as_o it_o be_v dead_a by_o the_o course_n of_o nature_n and_o past_o all_o such_o hope_n yet_o faithful_a abraham_n consider_v not_o the_o deadness_n of_o his_o own_o body_n or_o the_o deadness_n of_o sara_n womb_n but_o steadfast_o believe_v the_o promise_n against_o all_o natural_a hope_n in_o hope_n that_o god_n according_a to_o his_o gracious_a wood_n will_v perform_v his_o promise_n second_o abraham_n faith_n do_v wonderful_o appear_v to_o his_o obedience_n to_o the_o command_n of_o god_n by_o his_o word_n gen._n 12.1_o command_v abraham_n to_o depart_v from_o his_o native_a soil_n and_o to_o leave_v his_o kindred_n friend_n and_o possession_n where_o he_o be_v seat_v in_o such_o plenty_n and_o to_o go_v into_o a_o strange_a country_n inhabit_v with_o the_o power_n of_o such_o mighty_a man_n who_o be_v every_o way_n unknown_a to_o abraham_n and_o where_o he_o have_v no_o earthly_a help_n to_o trust_v unto_o but_o do_v as_o it_o be_v expose_v himself_o and_o his_o family_n to_o be_v make_v a_o prey_n unto_o stranger_n yet_o faithful_a abraham_n set_v all_o doubt_n fear_n kindred_n friend_n pleasure_n and_o possession_n aside_o do_v give_v obedience_n to_o the_o command_n of_o god_n and_o march_v bold_o to_o the_o land_n of_o canaan_n three_o how_o admirable_o do_v our_o saviour_n commend_v abraham_n faith_n while_o as_o our_o saviour_n tell_v the_o jew_n say_v john_n 8.56_o abraham_n do_v see_v my_o day_n and_o be_v glad_a and_o rejoice_v therein_o for_o abraham_n with_o the_o eye_n of_o his_o spiritual_a faith_n do_v see_v the_o lord_n day_n in_o the_o eight_o day_n of_o the_o sacrament_n of_o circumcision_n for_o the_o child_n be_v circumcise_v upon_o the_o eight_o day_n though_o the_o eight_o day_n of_o the_o circumcision_n fall_v out_o upon_o the_o seven_o day_n of_o the_o great_a prophetical_a sabbath_n which_o be_v command_v long_o before_o the_o sacrament_n of_o circumcision_n and_o so_o precise_o command_v as_o no_o mann●r_n of_o work_n be_v to_o be_v do_v upon_o the_o seven_o day_n of_o the_o prophetical_a sabbath_n much_o less_o the_o shed_n of_o the_o blood_n of_o man_n for_o the_o only_o command_v work_n of_o the_o prophetical_a ceremonial_a worship_n of_o god_n be_v to_o be_v do_v upon_o the_o sabbath_n abraham_n therefore_o observe_v with_o the_o spiritual_a eye_n of_o faith_n that_o the_o seven_o day_n of_o the_o prophetical_a sabbath_n do_v give_v place_n to_o the_o administration_n of_o the_o sacrament_n of_o circumcision_n abraham_n do_v apprehend_v that_o the_o eight_o day_n shall_v be_v worship_v in_o place_n of_o the_o seven_o day_n of_o the_o prophetical_a sabbath_n the_o reason_n be_v because_o the_o sacrament_n of_o circumcision_n do_v prefigurate_a both_o christ_n death_n and_o the_o day_n of_o his_o resurrection_n from_o the_o dead_a for_o as_o by_o the_o shed_n of_o the_o child_n blood_n the_o shed_n of_o the_o bless_a child_n blood_n by_o the_o curse_a death_n of_o the_o cross_n be_v prefigurate_a so_o by_o the_o staunch_n of_o the_o child_n blood_n upon_o the_o eight_o day_n whereby_o the_o life_n of_o the_o child_n be_v preserve_v the_o day_n of_o our_o saviour_n resurrection_n from_o the_o dead_a be_v prefigurate_a to_o wit_n the_o lord_n day_n which_o be_v the_o eight_o day_n from_o the_o last_o jew_n prophetical_a sabbath_n for_o the_o last_o sabbath_n whereon_o our_o saviour_n do_v rest_n in_o the_o grave_n be_v no_o way_n the_o jew_n prophetical_a sabbath_n neither_o be_v there_o any_o jew_n or_o gentile_n bind_v or_o oblige_v to_o fulfil_v the_o

and_o add_v seven_o day_n more_o to_o the_o last_o jew_n formal_a prophetical_a sabbath_n and_o we_o have_v the_o lord_n day_n the_o day_n of_o his_o resurrection_n from_o the_o grave_n to_o be_v the_o just_a eight_o day_n as_o the_o lord_n day_n be_v prefigurate_a to_o abraham_n by_o the_o eight_o day_n of_o the_o circumcision_n but_o let_v we_o account_v the_o number_n of_o day_n from_o
