for_o god_n write_v the_o new_a covenant_n in_o the_o heart_n under_o the_o law_n and_o yet_o circumcision_n be_v no_o covenant_n of_o work_n but_o a_o figure_n of_o what_o god_n do_v within_o deut._n

and_o that_o be_v because_o there_o be_v no_o promise_n of_o eternal_a life_n in_o it_o but_o only_o a_o temporal_a blessing_n in_o the_o land_n of_o canaan_n as_o protection_n and_o provision_n and_o

to_o god_n covenant_n which_o be_v of_o grace_n not_o work_n as_o have_v be_v before_o large_o prove_v we_o see_v therefore_o how_o well_o he_o have_v distinguish_v the_o covenant_n p._n iu._n his_o next_o argument_n to_o prove_v circumcision_n a_o covenant_n of_o work_n be_v because_o a_o man_n by_o lay_v out_o a_o little_a money_n may_v have_v buy_v a_o heathen_a into_o this_o covenant_n and_o

●ought_v with_o money_n be_v to_o be_v admit_v and_o the_o reason_n be_v because_o all_o abraham_n family_n so_o qualify_v be_v the_o visible_a church_n and_o such_o a_o take_n into_o his_o family_n be_v a_o take_n into_o the_o church_n which_o also_o w●s_v a_o type_n of_o the_o purchase_n that_o christ_n shall_v pay_v by_o his_o blood_n for_o the_o gentile_n we_o e_z to_o be_v bring_v into_o

all_o so_o buy_v be_v purchase_v into_o all_o the_o privilege_n of_o the_o covenant_n it_o be_v a_o gross_a untruth_n for_o justification_n and_o salvation_n be_v the_o choice_a privilege_n of_o

though_o yet_o in_o the_o other_o consideration_n what_o he_o do_v be_v a_o ordinance_n of_o god_n v._o p._n his_o next_o argument_n be_v because_o man_n out_o of_o this_o covenant_n may_v be_v save_v

of_o the_o foolish_a virgin_n who_o because_o they_o have_v lamp_n light_v think_v themselves_o well_o enough_o and_o there_o rest_v in_o this_o sense_n also_o be_v the_o word_n of_o christ_n to_o

away_o from_o all_o grace_n and_o goodness_n of_o late_a year_n both_o from_o they_o and_o we_o sure_o it_o can_v be_v deny_v but_o they_o be_v visible_o once_o in_o the_o covenant_n therefore_o all_o

the_o like_a we_o may_v charitable_o think_v now_o that_o many_o in_o the_o world_n who_o have_v not_o the_o same_o mean_n of_o gospel-ordinance_n may_v yet_o have_v sincere_a heart_n to_o god_n and_o

to_o the_o place_n by_o he_o quote_v jer._n 31.32_o which_o he_o bring_v to_o prove_v that_o there_o be_v two_o covenant_n but_o gross_o mistake_v yet_o so_o far_o as_o we_o may_v go_v without_o breach_n of_o faith_n to_o the_o truth_n of_o christ_n in_o acknowledge_v two_o covenant_n shall_v not_o deny_v he_o friendship_n as_o namely_o first_o that_o there_o have_v be_v two_o covenant_n make_v with_o man_n the_o one_o of_o work_n before_o the_o fall_n in_o which_o man_n stand_v alone_o without_o a_o mediator_n under_o which_o covenant_n all_o mankind_n by_o nature_n lie_v to_o this_o

make_v since_o the_o fall_n and_o tender_v to_o adam_n in_o the_o promise_n of_o christ_n since_o which_o the_o law_n in_o any_o part_n of_o it_o be_v not_o give_v as_o a_o covenant_n of_o work_n but_o as_o the_o law_n of_o christ_n put_v in_o the_o hand_n of_o a_o mediator_n therefore_o three_o it_o be_v never_o intend_v by_o god_n either_o in_o give_v circumcision_n to_o abraham_n or_o the_o

which_o he_o will_v make_v after_o those_o day_n shall_v not_o be_v according_a to_o the_o old_a etc._n etc._n the_o clear_n of_o this_o with_o a_o questian_a or_o two_o more_o will_v take_v in_o
