keep_v it_o not_o only_o to_o wear_v that_o sign_n himself_o but_o to_o put_v it_o upon_o all_o his_o in_o token_n that_o as_o he_o himself_o so_o that_o all_o he_o own_v be_v god_n this_o i_o prove_v in_o my_o first_o letter_n from_o pag._n 16._o to_o pag._n 23._o and_o confirm_v in_o my_o advertisement_n to_o which_o i_o add_v now_o another_o consideration_n to_o make_v it_o further_o manifest_v namely_o that_o in_o the_o covenant_n and_o the_o covenant_n for_o substance_n be_v but_o one_o and_o the_o same_o whereas_o god_n be_v please_v to_o say_v in_o genesis_n 17._o i_o will_v be_v a_o god_n to_o thou_o and_o thy_o seed_n and_o will_v give_v to_o thou_o and_o thy_o seed_n etc._n etc._n and_o therefore_o thou_o and_o thy_o seed_n shall_v keep_v my_o covenant_n and_o to_o keep_v his_o covenant_n be_v to_o keep_v the_o sign_n of_o his_o covenant_n i_o say_v whereas_o he_o speak_v so_o in_o genesis_n 17._o he_o say_v in_o jer._n 31._o 17._o where_o he_o repeat_v the_o same_o covenant_n i_o will_v be_v their_o god_n and_o they_o s●all_v be_v my_o people_n what_o in_o genesis_n be_v express_v by_o their_o keep_n of_o the_o covenant_n or_o sign_n be_v in_o jeremy_n express_v by_o their_o be_v god_n propriety_n or_o own_o so_o that_o these_o be_v equivalent_a term_n and_o the_o keep_n of_o the_o covenant_n of_o god_n or_o his_o sign_n be_v only_o to_o denote_v the_o propriety_n that_o those_o who_o be_v in_o covenant_n with_o god_n do_v all_o acknowledge_v all_o own_o that_o he_o have_v in_o they_o and_o in_o all_o they_o and_o thus_o it_o be_v interpret_v to_o abraham_n who_o be_v not_o only_o to_o be_v circumcise_a himself_o but_o to_o see_v that_o all_o his_o male_n old_a and_o young_a be_v circumcise_a and_o in_o his_o male_n who_o only_o be_v actual_o circumcise_a and_o only_o capable_a of_o be_v so_o the_o female_n also_o be_v repute_a include_v for_o as_o i_o say_v in_o my_o former_a discourse_n as_o the_o sign_n be_v direct_o give_v only_o to_o the_o male_n so_o the_o promise_n also_o in_o term_n be_v only_o to_o the_o male_n abraham_n and_o isaac_n but_o then_o as_o the_o female_n be_v include_v in_o the_o male_n in_o the_o covenant_n for_o who_o will_v deny_v that_o so_o by_o like_a reason_n they_o be_v include_v also_o in_o the_o sign_n it_o be_v but_o reason_n that_o conclude_v the_o former_a and_o the_o same_o reason_n will_v conclude_v the_o latter_a beside_o who_o will_v say_v the_o female_n be_v exclude_v the_o passover_n be_v they_o not_o of_o the_o congregation_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o member_n of_o the_o family_n or_o house_n in_o which_o the_o passover_n be_v eat_v and_o by_o which_o be_v they_o exclude_v any_o where_o and_o be_v it_o not_o plain_o intimate_v both_o by_o maimonides_n and_o by_o other_o rabbin_n that_o even_o they_o also_o do_v celebrate_v that_o feast_n but_o yet_o none_o uncircumcised_a might_n well_o then_o the_o duty_n bind_v upon_o abraham_n and_o upon_o his_o seed_n by_o the_o covenant_n be_v to_o keep_v the_o covenant_n or_o sign_n by_o wear_v of_o it_o themselves_o and_o by_o put_v of_o it_o upon_o all_o they_o in_o token_n of_o god_n propriety_n the_o next_o thing_n be_v to_o show_v that_o this_o duty_n which_o be_v bind_v upon_o abraham_n and_o upon_o his_o seed_n by_o the_o covenant_n be_v the_o proper_a duty_n of_o the_o covenant_n and_o what_o can_v be_v more_o plain_a than_o that_o it_o be_v seeing_z first_o it_o be_v bind_v upon_o they_o in_o reference_n to_o the_o promise_n as_o a_o consequence_n of_o it_o i_o will_v be_v a_o god_n to_o thou_o and_o thy_o seed_n and_o i_o will_v give_v to_o thou_o and_o thy_o seed_n there_o be_v the_o promise_n thou_o shall_v keep_v my_o covenant_n therefore_o thou_o and_o thy_o seed_n there_o be_v the_o consequent_a duty_n and_o it_o be_v the_o only_a duty_n mention_v as_o require_v by_o god_n by_o way_n of_o restipulation_n and_o indeed_o second_o it_o be_v call_v keep_v of_o the_o covenant_n and_o therefore_o must_v needs_o be_v bind_v upon_o they_o by_o virtue_n of_o the_o covenant_n as_o the_o proper_a duty_n and_o incumbence_n of_o it_o in_o fine_a it_o be_v most_o high_o reasonable_a that_o it_o shall_v be_v so_o for_o as_o god_n in_o this_o covenant_n solemn_o by_o promise_n and_o by_o oath_n do_v give_v himself_o and_o all_o his_o to_o abraham_n and_o to_o his_o seed_n be_v it_o not_o most_o fit_a most_o proper_a that_o by_o way_n of_o correspondence_n abraham_n and_o his_o seed_n shall_v solemn_o and_o that_o be_v by_o some_o open_a and_o external_n rite_n and_o act_n and_o such_o a_o act_n and_o rite_n sign_v be_v give_v up_o themselves_o and_o they_o again_o to_o god_n and_o here_o by_o the_o way_n it_o be_v observable_a that_o see_v the_o command_n to_o keep_v the_o covenant_n be_v lay_v upon_o abraham_n and_o upon_o his_o seed_n and_o see_v keep_v of_o the_o covenant_n be_v keep_v of_o the_o sign_n of_o it_o in_o token_n of_o god_n propriety_n it_o follow_v that_o put_v of_o the_o sign_n on_o child_n and_o on_o servant_n be_v not_o do_v at_o least_o not_o principal_o by_o virtue_n of_o any_o title_n right_o or_o privilege_n which_o these_o child_n or_o servant_n have_v by_o virtue_n of_o their_o own_o immediate_a be_v in_o the_o covenant_n but_o it_o be_v do_v in_o consequence_n of_o the_o duty_n and_o incumbence_n under_o which_o the_o parent_n and_o master_n be_v by_o virtue_n of_o the_o covenant_n in_o which_o they_o do_v restipulate_v and_o so_o take_v on_o they_o this_o duty_n as_o for_o the_o subject_n in_o the_o covenant_n or_o those_o on_o who_o the_o duty_n and_o incumbence_n in_o it_o be_v bind_v which_o be_v the_o three_o thing_n to_o be_v demonstrate_v they_o be_v abraham_n and_o his_o seed_n or_o abraham_n and_o isaac_n and_o in_o isaac_n christ_n mystical_a or_o the_o believe_a gentile_n abraham_n spiritual_a seed_n and_o that_o christ_n mystical_a or_o christ_n and_o believe_a gentile_n be_v intend_v principal_o by_o the_o seed_n i_o manifest_v in_o my_o first_o letter_n p._n 24._o 25._o in_o my_o second_o letter_n from_o p._n 128._o to_o 132._o and_o in_o my_o last_o letter_n from_o roman_n 4_o the_o 13_o 16_o 17_o which_o text_n do_v put_v it_o out_o of_o all_o question_n that_o isaac_n do_v not_o only_o typify_v and_o figure_n the_o believe_a gentile_n in_o the_o manner_n of_o his_o birth_n as_o my_o adversary_n will_v have_v it_o only_o do_v but_o that_o he_o do_v also_o stand_v for_o they_o and_o represent_v they_o in_o the_o covenant_n of_o promise_n and_o if_o isaac_n represent_v the_o believinggentiles_n and_o do_v stand_v for_o they_o as_o he_o do_v in_o the_o covenant_n of_o promise_n then_o certain_o whatever_o duty_n by_o virtue_n of_o that_o covenant_n be_v bind_v upon_o he_o that_o very_a duty_n by_o virtue_n of_o the_o same_o covenant_n be_v also_o bind_v upon_o they_o else_o how_o can_v he_o stand_v for_o they_o and_o represent_v they_o in_o it_o this_o interpretation_n of_o that_o text_n be_v so_o plain_a so_o evident_a that_o even_o my_o adversary_n in_o his_o last_o letter_n p._n 115._o say_v i_o well_o expound_v roman_n 4._o 13_o 16._o 17._o but_o what_o he_o add_v viz._n that_o i_o do_v so_o to_o this_o purpose_n namely_o to_o prove_v isaac_n a_o type_n and_o figure_n of_o the_o believe_a gentile_n in_o the_o way_n and_o manner_n of_o his_o supernatural_a birth_n to_o which_o our_o regeneration_n in_o some_o sort_n correspond_v that_o be_v another_o falsehood_n another_o impious_a fraud_n and_o make_v on_o purpose_n to_o deceive_v his_o party_n that_o when_o he_o can_v answer_v i_o he_o may_v yet_o impose_v upon_o they_o for_o that_o i_o have_v no_o such_o purpose_n there_o as_o he_o insinuate_v be_v plain_a for_o there_o i_o prove_v that_o isaac_n represent_v the_o believe_a gentile_n or_o spiritual_a seed_n not_o only_o in_o the_o promise_n but_o in_o the_o duty_n and_o obligation_n also_o bind_v upon_o the_o seed_n by_o virtue_n of_o that_o promise_n and_o i_o appeal_v unto_o his_o own_o party_n or_o to_o any_o man_n else_o that_o be_v of_o sense_n in_o all_o the_o world_n that_o will_v comparehi_v letter_n and_o i_o if_o this_o be_v not_o so_o this_o be_v the_o ground_n on_o which_o i_o state_n my_o argument_n which_o thus_o i_o form_n if_o the_o believe_a gentile_n be_v under_o abraham_n covenant_n be_v abraham_n seed_n and_o be_v principal_o mean_v in_o the_o 17_o the_o genesis_n 9_o the_o then_o the_o believe_a gentile_n be_v to_o keep_v god_n covenant_n the_o consequence_n be_v evident_a the_o text_n be_v plain_a for_o it_o thou_o and_o thy_o seed_n shall_v keep_v my_o covenant_n and_o if_o to_o keep_v god_n covenant_n there_o be_v to_o keep_v the_o sign_n of_o

your_o three_o proposition_n i_o allow_v that_o the_o believe_a gentile_n be_v oblige_v to_o dedicate_v themselves_o and_o all_o that_o be_v they_o to_o god_n as_o abraham_n be_v but_o in_o as_o much_o as_o there_o be_v a_o double_a dedication_n the_o one_o by_o baptism_n and_o the_o other_o by_o religious_a education_n and_o fervent_a supplication_n this_o latter_a dedication_n i_o allow_v the_o former_a as_o it_o respect_v our_o infant_n seed_n for_o the_o reason_n i_o have_v elsewhere_o give_v you_o i_o deny_v i_o say_v there_o that_o sign_v be_v the_o proper_a duty_n of_o the_o covenant_n what_o be_v this_o to_o that_o in_o your_o four_o proposition_n concern_v a_o twofold_a holiness_n external_n and_o internal_a absolute_a and_o relative_n arise_v from_o the_o covenant_n though_o i_o grant_v that_o so_o it_o be_v under_o the_o former_a administration_n yet_o i_o have_v elsewhere_o prove_v that_o as_o for_o any_o external_n or_o relative_n holiness_n then_o arise_v from_o the_o covenant_n it_o be_v now_o abolish_v and_o as_o i_o have_v already_o also_o demonstrate_v that_o the_o first_o of_o cor._n 7._o 14._o do_v not_o at_o all_o prove_v the_o continuation_n thereof_o in_o the_o gospel-day_n so_o neither_o be_v there_o any_o other_o scripture_n that_o i_o know_v of_o that_o can_v be_v pertinent_o allege_v for_o the_o justification_n of_o such_o a_o notion_n though_o i_o grant_v that_o there_o be_v a_o external_n and_o internal_a holiness_n now_o arise_v among_o gentile_a professor_n the_o latter_a from_o the_o covenant_n the_o former_a from_o a_o mere_a pretention_n to_o it_o you_o see_v his_o demonstration_n as_o he_o call_v they_o his_o proof_n which_o shall_v be_v here_o be_v all_o elsewhere_o but_o what_o if_o they_o be_v here_o what_o in_o all_o this_o be_v to_o the_o business_n in_o hand_n for_o if_o the_o promise_n or_o blessing_n of_o abraham_n do_v descend_v upon_o his_o seed_n the_o believe_a gentile_n and_o the_o proper_a duty_n of_o that_o promise_n or_o blessing_n which_o descend_v do_v also_o descend_v and_o to_o be_v sign_v themselves_o and_o to_o see_v that_o all_o they_o be_v sign_v also_o in_o token_n of_o god_n propriety_n and_o title_n be_v that_o proper_a duty_n then_o let_v he_o talk_v of_o spiritual_a essence_n that_o do_v descend_v and_o of_o appendage_n that_o do_v not_o of_o proper_a duty_n and_o service_n now_o require_v of_o they_o understand_v it_o of_o adult_n believe_v offspring_n and_o not_o the_o infant_n seed_n of_o believe_a gentile_n and_o that_o the_o dedication_n must_v be_v by_o religion_n education_n and_o supplication_n not_o by_o baptism_n i_o say_v let_v he_o talk_v in_o this_o fashion_n as_o long_o as_o long_o as_o he_o live_v it_o will_v certain_o follow_v for_o all_o that_o that_o the_o proper_a duty_n now_o require_v of_o believe_v gentile_n be_v to_o sign_n themselves_o and_o t_o o_fw-fr see_v that_o all_o they_o their_o child_n also_o be_v sign_v which_o as_o i_o say_v must_v either_o be_v with_o baptism_n or_o with_o circumcision_n or_o with_o some_o other_o sign_n let_v he_o tell_v which_o or_o what_o for_o mark_v it_o shall_v the_o blessing_n descend_v and_o not_o the_o proper_a duty_n of_o that_o blessing_n be_v not_o to_o keep_v the_o covenant_n as_o much_o a_o duty_n bind_v upon_o the_o seed_n as_o the_o promise_n a_o blessing_n make_v to_o it_o ay!_o be_v not_o thou_o shall_v keep_v my_o covenant_n therefore_o thou_o and_o thy_o seed_n as_o plain_o say_v as_o i_o will_v be_v a_o god_n to_o thou_o and_o to_o thy_o seed_n and_o will_v give_v to_o th●e_n and_o to_o thy_o seed_n and_o if_o to_o keep_v the_o covenant_n be_v as_o it_o be_v agree_v to_o be_v to_o keep_v the_o sign_n let_v he_o distinguish_v as_o he_o will_v with_o spiritual_a essence_n and_o appendage_n with_o proper_a duty_n now_o and_o then_o with_o dedication_n by_o religious_a education_n and_o by_o baptism_n that_o be_v with_o archepodialiter_fw-la and_o reflexive_a certain_o to_o keep_v the_o sign_n be_v as_o much_o the_o proper_a duty_n of_o the_o seed_n and_o as_o much_o bind_v upon_o it_o and_o all_o as_o fast_o as_o the_o promise_n itself_o be_v make_v unto_o it_o and_o if_o the_o gentile_n that_o believe_v be_v as_o i_o have_v prove_v and_o as_o the_o apostle_n say_v they_o be_v that_o seed_n then_o to_o keep_v the_o sign_n be_v as_o much_o the_o
