he_o can_v understand_v it_o so_o that_o as_o a_o man_n do_v first_o build_v himself_o a_o house_n and_o then_o dwell_v in_o it_o so_o the_o lord_n jesus_n by_o his_o spirit_n do_v 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d

whence_o mr._n eyre_n infer_v that_o the_o spirit_n and_o faith_n be_v give_v by_o virtue_n of_o the_o covenant_n make_v with_o we_o but_o i_o answer_v 1._o that_o if_o mr._n eyre_n will_v urge_v the_o word_n of_o this_o text_n rigorous_o they_o will_v prove_v more_o than_o he_o will_v have_v for_o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o this_o covenant_n contain_v a_o promise_n of_o send_v christ_n into_o the_o world_n and_o give_v he_o up_o to_o death_n for_o our_o sin_n as_o the_o apostle_n do_v direct_o prove_v heb._n 10._o 14_o 15_o 16._o and_o why_o then_o may_v it_o not_o be_v infer_v that_o the_o elect_n be_v in_o covenant_n with_o god_n not_o only_o before_o they_o believe_v but_o also_o before_o the_o death_n of_o the_o mediator_n and_o so_o his_o death_n be_v not_o to_o obtain_v all_o or_o any_o of_o the_o blessing_n of_o the_o covenant_n but_o only_o as_o the_o socinian_o to_o declare_v and_o confirm_v to_o we_o that_o we_o may_v believe_v that_o god_n of_o his_o own_o mere_a good_a will_n without_o expect_v any_o satisfaction_n will_v do_v all_o this_o good_a for_o we_o for_o if_o it_o be_v a_o good_a consequence_n we_o be_v in_o covenant_n before_o we_o believe_v because_o the_o covenant_n promise_v to_o give_v we_o faith_n then_o be_v this_o also_o a_o good_a consequence_n we_o be_v in_o covenant_n before_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n because_o the_o covenant_n promise_v to_o give_v christ_n to_o death_n and_o what_o answer_n mr._n eyre_n will_v give_v to_o avoid_v this_o consequence_n for_o i_o presume_v he_o will_v not_o grant_v it_o and_o to_o defend_v his_o position_n that_o we_o be_v in_o covenant_n with_o god_n upon_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n and_o not_o before_o notwithstanding_o the_o covenant_n promise_v to_o give_v christ_n the_o same_o answer_n will_v serve_v my_o turn_n for_o the_o vindication_n of_o my_o assertion_n that_o we_o be_v in_o covenant_n with_o god_n upon_o believe_v and_o not_o before_o notwithstanding_o the_o same_o covenant_n promise_n faith_n 2._o but_o upon_o a_o most_o serious_a perusual_a of_o this_o text_n i_o find_v it_o so_o contradictory_n to_o mr._n eyr_n purpose_n that_o i_o can_v but_o wonder_v what_o he_o mean_v to_o shelter_v his_o opinion_n under_o the_o protection_n of_o it_o if_o we_o read_v the_o word_n in_o heb._n 8._o 10._o or_o jer._n 31._o 33._o and_o

remove_v those_o objection_n which_o seem_v of_o weight_n to_o mr._n eyre_n for_o confirmation_n of_o his_o opinion_n the_o first_o be_v draw_v from_o those_o scripture_n which_o seem_v to_o hold_v forth_o a_o immediate_a actual_a reconciliation_n of_o sinner_n to_o god_n upon_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n without_o the_o intervention_n of_o faith_n as_o matth._n 3._o 17._o this_o be_v my_o
