A80754	The covenant of God with Abraham, opened. Wherein I. The duty of infant-baptism is cleared. II. Something added concerning the Sabbath, and the nature and increase of the kingdome of Christ. Together with a short discourse concerning the manifestations of God unto his people in the last dayes. Wherein is shewed the manner of the spirits work therein to be in the use of ordinary gifts, not by extraordinary revelations. / By William Carter minister of the gospel in London.

magistrate_n will_v have_v their_o free_a course_n and_o upon_o ground_n of_o nature_n and_o reason_n as_o before_o and_o what_o influence_n the_o kingdom_n or_o subject_n of_o christ_n shall_v have_v

2._o they_o differ_v that_o in_o this_o promise_n unto_o abraham_n the_o lord_n make_v a_o addition_n to_o the_o former_a namely_o he_o give_v a_o more_o particular_a account_n how_o this_o conquest_n

so_o now_o for_o our_o purpose_n let_v it_o further_o be_v consider_v that_o as_o god_n make_v a_o addition_n to_o his_o gospel_n or_o rather_o a_o further_a discovery_n of_o his_o mind_n therein_o in_o his_o promise_n unto_o abraham_n so_o he_o also_o make_v a_o addition_n to_o the_o seal_n for_o confirmation_n of_o it_o to_o his_o people_n namely_o the_o seal_n of_o circumcision_n which_o also_o be_v first_o give_v to_o abraham_n and_o not_o in_o use_n before_o and_o as_o this_o addition_n to_o his_o gospel_n be_v a_o promise_n of_o make_v believer_n blessing_n to_o family_n and_o nation_n in_o order_n to_o the_o multiply_a of_o the_o seed_n and_o increase_v of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o christ_n so_o the_o application_n of_o this_o seal_n to_o infant_n be_v part_n of_o the_o

of_o their_o relation_n to_o it_o as_o branch_n of_o it_o so_o as_o this_o blessing_n upon_o family_n and_o kindred_n and_o his_o order_n in_o such_o manner_n his_o election_n as_o have_v be_v show_v as_o by_o this_o scripture_n you_o see_v it_o be_v intend_v in_o the_o promise_n unto_o abraham_n so_o also_o that_o it_o be_v still_o in_o be_v and_o shall_v be_v to_o a_o thousand_o generation_n to_o all_o generation_n so_o i_o suppose_v we_o be_v to_o understand_v that_o phrase_n psal_n 105._o even_o to_o the_o world_n end_n which_o will_v yet_o be_v more_o evident_a if_o we_o compare_v

the_o gift_n and_o call_n of_o god_n be_v without_o repentance_n so_o as_o it_o be_v the_o purpose_n of_o god_n election_n thus_o make_v according_a to_o his_o covenant_n with_o abraham_n which_o

that_o it_o shall_v be_v verify_v even_o to_o the_o convert_a jew_n in_o the_o latter_a day_n so_o by_o the_o apostle_n rom._n 11._o we_o find_v that_o this_o privilege_n be_v no_o other_o than_o

of_o the_o point_n the_o other_o in_o the_o four_o a_o further_a evidence_n of_o this_o truth_n that_o in_o the_o covenant_n of_o god_n with_o abraham_n be_v promise_v to_o his_o people_n such_o a_o

of_o that_o ordinance_n 14._o gen._n 17_o 10_o 14._o this_o branch_n of_o the_o promise_n concern_v the_o circumcision_n of_o the_o heart_n of_o the_o seed_n of_o his_o people_n be_v thereby_o

have_v occasion_n to_o speak_v to_o in_o the_o first_o use_n of_o the_o point_n and_o thither_o i_o refer_v my_o reader_n rather_o than_o stay_v upon_o either_o of_o they_o here_o where_o we_o shall_v also_o see_v that_o this_o second_o branch_n be_v one_o main_a thing_n which_o be_v peculiar_a to_o this_o covenant_n of_o god_n with_o abraham_n which_o be_v therein_o add_v unto_o that_o promise_n which_o be_v give_v unto_o the_o church_n of_o god_n before_o obj._n but_o it_o will_v be_v say_v that_o many_o time_n a_o godly_a parent_n have_v ungodly_a child_n and_o sometime_o the_o child_n of_o ungodly_a parent_n prove_v believer_n how_o then_o be_v a_o believer_n a_o blessing_n to_o his_o family_n or_o how_o be_v god_n election_n carry_v through_o the_o family_n of_o his_o people_n as_o be_v say_v to_o this_o i_o answer_v answ_n first_o that_o although_o he_o make_v his_o people_n blessing_n yet_o sometime_o it_o prove_v not_o effectual_a god_n blessing_n do_v not_o always_o take_v effect_n upon_o the_o son_n of_o man_n through_o their_o sin_n as_o he_o have_v promise_v his_o blessing_n upon_o his_o word_n that_o be_v that_o god_n himself_o will_v be_v present_a with_o it_o and_o work_v in_o and_o by_o it_o for_o which_o cause_n it_o be_v not_o a_o common_a but_o a_o holy_a word_n namely_o so_o in_o itself_o yet_o be_v it_o not_o always_o effectual_a to_o the_o hearer_n of_o it_o second_o there_o be_v a_o evident_a reason_n why_o notwithstanding_o god_n have_v promise_v such_o a_o blessing_n upon_o believer_n their_o family_n and_o child_n yet_o that_o sometime_o this_o blessing_n shall_v not_o take_v effect_n 1._o because_o sometime_o family_n duty_n be_v neglect_v believer_n sometime_o follow_v not_o abraham_n step_n in_o faith_n and_o obedience_n and_o in_o close_o walk_v with_o god_n as_o his_o servant_n and_o friend_n as_o they_o ought_v to_o do_v and_o then_o no_o wonder_n if_o such_o person_n and_o their_o child_n come_v short_a of_o this_o blessing_n because_o god_n who_o ordain_v to_o the_o end_n ordain_v also_o to_o the_o mean_n therefore_o the_o child_n of_o such_o parent_n by_o such_o example_n will_v be_v apt_a to_o grow_v remiss_a and_o careless_a in_o religion_n 2._o because_o although_o his_o promise_n be_v to_o carry_v his_o election_n so_o as_o to_o cast_v elect_a child_n upon_o elect_a parent_n yet_o he_o reserve_v to_o himself_o and_o also_o use_v in_o this_o a_o liberty_n namely_o ever_o and_o anon_o to_o be_v still_o break_v off_o some_o and_o graft_n in_o other_o into_o this_o holy_a root_n so_o he_o pass_v by_o ishmael_n and_o take_v isaac_n pass_v by_o esau_n and_o take_v jacob_n afterward_o he_o break_v off_o the_o nation_n of_o the_o jew_n and_o graff_v in_o the_o gentile_n at_o last_o he_o will_v graft_v the_o jew_n again_o into_o their_o own_o root_n so_o now_o a_o day_n a_o believer_n child_n prove_v ungodly_a then_o be_v that_o child_n break_v off_o a_o unbeliever_n child_n be_v convert_v to_o the_o faith_n then_o be_v that_o child_n graff_v into_o this_o holy_a root_n therefore_o for_o a_o right_a understanding_n of_o this_o promise_n make_v to_o abraham_n we_o must_v take_v in_o that_o caution_n or_o qualification_n to_o it_o and_o it_o be_v necessary_a as_o god_n have_v so_o far_o confine_v himself_o in_o his_o election_n namely_o to_o family_n and_o nation_n that_o he_o shall_v withal_o reserve_v this_o liberty_n because_o if_o he_o have_v so_o entail_v his_o election_n to_o believer_n family_n as_o that_o none_o of_o their_o posterity_n shall_v ever_o be_v break_v off_o very_o many_o and_o great_a inconvenience_n through_o man_n corruption_n will_v ensue_v 3._o a_o three_o thing_n contain_v in_o the_o lord_n promise_v unto_o abraham_n be_v that_o by_o thus_o
