viz._n the_o free_a gift_n of_o the_o father_n do_v dwell_v in_o the_o inward_a true_a man_n which_o god_n create_v in_o adam_n yet_o the_o gross_a beast_n viz._n the_o earthliness_n and_o vanity_n

and_o breathe_v after_o vanity_n and_o self_n ●●st_n 21._o as_o abraham_n in_o this_o figure_n do_v not_o spare_v his_o own_o child_n but_o cast_v they_o out_o so_o likewise_o a_o christian_a must_v not_o spare_v or_o forbear_v his_o child_n viz._n his_o own_o lust_n and_o vain_a desire_n and_o all_o whatsoever_o do_v hang_v or_o depend_v thereon_o but_o daily_o and_o hourly_o cast_v they_o out_o

abraham_n cast_n out_o his_o natural_a child_n do_v signify_v that_o when_o christ_n viz._n the_o true_a isaac_n come_v into_o the_o flesh_n viz._n into_o the_o humanity_n abraham_n natural_a child_n viz._n the_o jew_n shall_v under_o the_o kingdom_n of_o christ_n be_v cast_v out_o from_o the_o natural_a good_n viz._n from_o all_o dominion_n from_o country_n and_o kingdom_n and_o their_o rule_n

nature_n yet_o abraham_n child_n who_o be_v in_o the_o covenant_n under_o circumcision_n must_v when_o christ_n do_v manifest_v himself_o be_v cast_v out_o to_o signify_v that_o the_o earthly_a man_n also_o viz._n self_n in_o the_o serpent_n ens_fw-la which_o be_v on_o the_o child_n of_o the_o covenant_n must_v be_v cast_v away_o from_o god_n 24._o thus_o in_o abraham_n and_o his_o son_n isaac_n the_o figure_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o christ_n be_v represent_v but_o when_o christ_n come_v into_o the_o flesh_n god_n put_v away_o the_o figure_n and_o take_v from_o the_o external_a child_n of_o isaac_n the_o outward_a good_n of_o the_o land_n canaan_n to_o intimate_v that_o now_o the_o holy_a land_n of_o canaan_n be_v become_v manifest_a where_o isaac_n child_n shall_v take_v possession_n of_o the_o true_a promise_a inheritance_n in_o christ_n and_o no_o long_o have_v the_o figure_n only_o but_o the_o essence_n of_o the_o figure_n viz._n the_o perfect_a substance_n and_o now_o forsake_v the_o outward_a good_n with_o the_o figure_n and_o put_v on_o christ_n in_o the_o flesh_n 25._o but_o that_o the_o jew_n viz._n isaac_n and_o abraham_n child_n viz._n the_o child_n in_o christ_n figure_n do_v not_o all_o turn_n unto_o christ_n when_o he_o do_v manifest_v himself_o in_o the_o flesh_n have_v this_o meaning_n god_n give_v they_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n where_o in_o the_o law_n the_o government_n of_o nature_n be_v understand_v external_o and_o internal_o christ_n viz._n the_o covenant_n and_o the_o promise_v free_a gift_n of_o god_n in_o paradise_n so_o that_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n be_v to_o be_v christ_n sojourner_n and_o the_o true_a man_n also_o be_v to_o live_v under_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n in_o a_o note_n a_o a_o a_o note_n right_a rationality_n and_o yet_o bring_v his_o own_o nature_n into_o christ_n house_n and_o thus_o the_o figure_n of_o the_o law_n must_v continue_v among_o some_o of_o abraham_n child_n viz._n among_o some_o of_o the_o jew_n to_o signify_v that_o the_o law_n be_v christ_n sojourner_n 26._o understand_v that_o the_o nature_n of_o man_n shall_v remain_v for_o it_o be_v not_o so_o reject_v of_o god_n as_o if_o clean_a another_o new_a man_n shall_v arise_v out_o of_o the_o old_a but_o the_o new_a man_n shall_v arise_v out_o of_o adam_n nature_n and_o property_n and_o out_o of_o god_n in_o christ_n nature_n and_o property_n so_o that_o man_n be_v become_v a_o adam-christ_n and_o christ_n a_o christ-adam_n a_o man-god_n and_o a_o god-man_n and_o therefore_o the_o figure_n continue_v still_o among_o the_o jew_n and_o for_o this_o cause_n they_o be_v not_o all_o convert_v to_o christ_n that_o so_o nature_n may_v keep_v its_o figure_n and_o due_a right_n for_o it_o shall_v deliver_v up_o its_o child_n under_o the_o law_n viz._n the_o figure_n of_o christ_n to_o god_n the_o father_n in_o christ_n but_o its_o figure_n shall_v be_v prove_v in_o the_o fire_n of_o god_n so_o that_o it_o
