A39697	Vindiciæ legis & fœderis: or, A reply to Mr. Philip Cary's Solemn call Wherein he pretends to answer all the arguments of Mr. Allen, Mr. Baxter, Mr. Sydenham, Mr. Sedgwick, Mr. Roberts, and Dr. Burthogge, for the right of believers infants to baptism, by proving the law at Sinai, and the covenant of circumcision with Abraham, were the very same with Adam's covenant of works, and that because the gospel-covenant is absolute.

that_o if_o the_o law_n and_o the_o promise_n can_v consist_v than_o the_o law_n can_v be_v set_v up_o as_o a_o covenant_n of_o work_n you_o answer_v that_o the_o law_n and_o the_o promise_n have_v

have_v a_o bless_a subserviency_n to_o the_o promise_n as_o it_o be_v the_o same_o with_o adam_n covenant_n we_o say_v it_o can_v never_o be_v so_o as_o such_o but_o as_o it_o be_v either_o a_o
