p. 116. This Text Ro. 11. doth fully make against any fleshly cove●ant or fleshly line of believers because from ver 20 to 24 the Gentiles come to be Abrahams spiritual seed and so branches onely by faith in Christ the fat Olive And if the Gentiles are graffed in contrary to nature then it cuts off all Gentile-seed who came in by nature And though the Jews were cut off for unbelief yet this opinion doth ingraff the carnal seed of the Gentiles into the midst of that unbelief A. That by natural branches is to be understood the Jews and their children and by branches wild by nature the Gentiles and their children hath been already proved See the answer to pag. 82. And that the cutting off and graffing in related to Parents and children hath been also cleered To which I refer the Reader onely adding Jer. 31.1 Isai 65.23 therefore to interpret by natural branches only adult believers and by branches wild by natu e the Infants of believers is to restrain and eclipse the intent of the Holy Ghost in the place cited and supposeth strongly that all such adult believers are really ingraffed into Christ When as Christ himself tells us there may be some branches in him cut off and withered Joh. 15.2 4 5 6. And that Infants are all damned because all wild by nature 2 Where he tells us of ingraffing into the midst of their unbelief is ●●lse for we ingraffe into that stock Abr. from which they were cut ●ff for unbelief And if what he asserts in this were true then those believing Jews and their children which were not cut off remain in the midst of their unbelief that were cut off And thus we may s●e a man in his nakedness and yet without shame I see I must pass over many of his absurdities and reiterations because they come so fast upon me In pag. 118 he again runs retrograde P. If any hold believers and their seed within the covenant of grace it is a denying of Christ to be come in the flesh and therefore he must needs be a high Antichrist Rep. This hath been already answered and his vain confidence so to affirm hath been manifested that it is apparent if the Reader will but take pains to view the answer to his 93 page it is no denying of Christ to be come in the flesh to maintain Infants right to the Covenant of Grace yea it is a strong Argument to prove Christ is come because the blessing of Abraham is by Christ handed over to the Gentiles Gal. 3.14 which could not have been if Christ had not been exhibited in flesh because the wall of partition could not have been broken down therefore M. P. lies under self-condemnation because to deny the blessing of Abrahams Covenant to be handed over to the Gentiles and their seed is to deny Christ exhibited as that place of Paul proved Gal. 3.14 so that M. P. proves himself an Antichrist Let no man therefore dislike the truth for this Bears skin which this Author of dipping hath cast upon it For it is the devils policy now Antichrist is falling to cry down all Gospel-truths for Antichristian that so they may fall also but mauger all the malice of hell the interest of Children in the Covenant of Grace made with Abraham shall stand and triumph as a glorious truth of the Gospel when Antichrist and his children all petty Antichrists shall tumble together P. Pag. 118. He quotes 2 Cor. 5.16 Henceforth we know no man after the flesh yea though we have known Christ after the flesh yet henceforth we know him so no more which he explains thus men were known and approved as priviledged persons in Gods Church after the flesh but henceforth we know no man no not Christ himself as interessed in the covenant of Abraham he being a Minister of a better covenant then that of Circumcision grounded upon better promises c. therefore we know no man after the flesh no not Christ himself A. As all other places of Scripture hitherto brought have been abused by false explications and applications so is the intent and meaning of this Text much wrong'd and clouded I shall therefore briefly cleer it The Apostle is telling the Church of Corinth that the Jew had no more benefit by the death of Christ then the Gentile for both Jew and Gentile were all under sin and were therefore all dead If one dyed for all then were all dead It seems many of them thought that because Christ came from the Jews therefore he did bear more love to them then the Gentiles and so it was good being a Jew To which Paul answers True if we that are Jews should judge after the flesh according to our natural affection to our own Nation then we should say so too but the love of Christ constrains us to judge otherwise that is he did not look upon the benefit of this or that Nation peculiarly but this Christ had in his eye Jew and Gentile were all dead and upon this account did Christ die For if one dyed for all then were all dead as if he had said Christ did not intend this Jew should be more priviledged then that Gentile though himself were a Jew therefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh That is we do not now look upon the Jew to have any more priviledge then the Gentiles yea though we have known Christ after the flesh that is though we have known him to be a Jew and to receive the seal of their priviledges only yet henceforth we know him so no more that is we have no more priviledge now by Christs coming from us then the Gentiles nor hath Christ any more income of priviledges from us then he hath from the Gentiles ours is alike from him and his is alike from us and no difference And that this is the true intent of the words see v. 17 18 19 20. Old things are past away i. e. old priviledges that we claimed in Christ before others they are all now conveyed over to the world and therefore he hath committed to us the Gospel of reconciliation to wit that God was in Christ reconciling the world to himself i. e. It was onely our Nation that was reconciled before Parents and children called his sons spouse off-spring heirs the blessings of the covenant were ours onely But now all this is tendered to the world Therefore we as Embassadors in Christs stead beseech you to be reconciled And thus you have this innocent Text which hath been turned against Abrahams seed though it harbors not a harsh syllable to babes wrested out of the paw of the Lyon 2 Let us view the second part Christ himself should not be minded as at all interessed in Abrahams Covenant he being now a Minister of a better Covenant c. A. It hath been already fully proved That Abrahams Covenant in all parts thereof was a full and compleat covenant of Gr●ce and not of Works Therefore M.
