fullier_n to_o satisfy_v your_o objection_n we_o hold_v that_o all_o mankind_n be_v bring_v by_o christ_n under_o a_o covenant_n of_o grace_n which_o be_v not_o vain_a nor_o repeal_v by_o god_n but_o as_o their_o abuse_n of_o the_o grace_n of_o the_o covenant_n may_v cast_v they_o out_o for_o as_o a_o covenant_n of_o entire_a nature_n or_o innocency_n be_v make_v with_o all_o mankind_n in_o innocent_a adam_n so_o a_o covenant_n of_o grace_n be_v make_v with_o all_o mankind_n in_o lapse_v adam_n gen._n 3._o 15._o in_o the_o promise_a seed_n and_o renew_v again_o with_o all_o mankind_n in_o noah_n no_o man_n can_v prove_v either_o a_o limitation_n of_o this_o covenant_n to_o some_o till_o the_o rest_n by_o violate_v it_o become_v the_o serpent_n seed_n at_o least_o nor_o yet_o that_o ever_o god_n do_v abrogate_v it_o as_o it_o be_v make_v to_o all_o the_o world_n six_o and_o we_o further_o acquaint_v you_o that_o it_o be_v not_o the_o existent_a humanity_n of_o christ_n that_o procure_v grace_n and_o life_n to_o the_o world_n for_o those_o about_o 4000_o year_n before_o his_o incarnation_n the_o mere_a decree_n and_o promise_n do_v serve_v for_o man_n salvation_n all_o that_o time_n without_o the_o existence_n of_o his_o humanity_n seven_o therefore_o when_o you_o grant_v a_o necessity_n of_o believe_v in_o god_n as_o merciful_a you_o must_v needs_o include_v christ_n in_o his_o divine_a subsistence_n for_o you_o must_v needs_o grant_v that_o the_o eternal_a 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d or_o wisdom_n of_o god_n must_v be_v the_o fountain_n and_o

our_o faith_n and_o leave_v out_o the_o wisdom_n that_o must_v manage_v all_o eight_o and_o yet_o further_o to_o remove_v your_o scandal_n we_o maintain_v that_o the_o jew_n themselves_o be_v not_o

nor_o understand_v they_o the_o article_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n so_o that_o before_o a_o more_o general_a belief_n in_o the_o messiah_n do_v serve_v the_o jew_n themselves_o that_o all_o this_o

that_o the_o promise_n of_o the_o victorious_a seed_n though_o it_o seem_v too_o obscure_a to_o bind_v man_n to_o so_o distinct_a a_o faith_n as_o we_o be_v be_v by_o tradition_n tell_v to_o adam_n

of_o which_o i_o shall_v speak_v more_o anon_o hitherto_o than_o i_o have_v vindicate_v the_o christian_a doctrine_n of_o man_n salvation_n for_o the_o first_o 4000_o year_n second_o and_o be_v

of_o christian_a religion_n very_o i_o think_v it_o far_o hard_a to_o confute_v those_o that_o feign_v all_o the_o world_n to_o be_v animate_v by_o god_n as_o the_o universal_a soul_n and_o to_o conceive_v how_o god_n who_o be_v most_o intimate_a to_o all_o thing_n in_o who_o we_o live_v and_o move_v and_o be_v shall_v not_o be_v as_o near_o unite_v to_o all_o thing_n as_o christian_n
