up_o the_o say_a posture_n and_o from_o this_o posture_n it_o be_v that_o most_o man_n in_o the_o world_n before_o they_o can_v come_v to_o receive_v god_n gift_n of_o justify_v faith_n 2.8_o jona_n

wherefore_o in_o his_o family_n the_o oracle_n of_o christ_n be_v only_o resident_a and_o because_o abraham_n father_n terah_n be_v the_o first_o in_o that_o family_n that_o do_v apostate_n from_o

opportunity_n for_o in_o the_o mount_n will_v the_o lord_n be_v see_v as_o to_o all_o mankind_n in_o the_o fall_a mass_n he_o be_v answer_v to_o the_o second_o question_n why_o abraham_n be_v name_v in_o reference_n to_o the_o seed_n of_o man_n in_o his_o loin_n he_o be_v terah_n son_n the_o meaning_n be_v no_o more_o but_o this_o the_o proper_a subject_n of_o election_n be_v not_o only_a man_n as_o corrupt_v but_o as_o universal_o corrupt_a therefore_o god_n name_v the_o common_a seed_n of_o man_n in_o the_o loin_n of_o one_o of_o this_o idolatrous_a brood_n the_o fit_a emblem_n of_o the_o continue_a act_n of_o god_n in_o election_n of_o man_n out_o of_o the_o fall_a mass_n as_o in_o adam_n loin_n and_o therefore_o the_o seed_n of_o abraham_n be_v name_v in_o the_o text._n answer_v to_o the_o three_o query_n why_o be_v not_o abraham_n person_n assume_v into_o personal_a union_n with_o the_o second_o in_o the_o one_o god_n he_o be_v thus_o name_v by_o way_n of_o eminency_n in_o the_o

fall_v mass_n out_o of_o that_o estate_n into_o the_o say_a posture_n either_o to_o honour_n or_o dishonour_n for_o ever_o as_o be_v prove_v answer_v to_o the_o four_o query_n why_o this_o word_n he_o take_v hold_v as_o to_o the_o nature_n of_o angel_n be_v speak_v negative_o and_o to_o the_o common_a nature_n of_o man_n affirmative_o both_o be_v in_o the_o fall_n one_o in_o apostasy_n nay_o now_o all_o nation_n of_o man_n be_v relap_v in_o apostasy_n as_o we_o be_v answer_v the_o meaning_n be_v no_o more_o than_o this_o when_o man_n universal_o do_v apostate_n from_o the_o say_a posture_n so_o sink_v unto_o destruction_n than_o sometime_o in_o this_o case_n in_o pursuance_n of_o his_o final_a end_n god_n as_o a_o continue_a act_n to_o the_o nature_n of_o angel_n let_v the_o nature_n of_o angel_n sink_v low_a and_o low_a into_o destruction_n and_o as_o a_o continue_a act_n take_v hold_v of_o the_o nature_n of_o man_n to_o stay_v it_o from_o sink_v and_o therefore_o the_o text_n speak_v negative_o to_o they_o and_o affirmative_o to_o man_n for_o first_o he_o take_v hold_v of_o the_o nature_n of_o man_n by_o promise_n into_o personal_a union_n with_o the_o second_o in_o the_o one_o god_n when_o the_o seed_n of_o the_o woman_n be_v first_o name_v and_o in_o these_o word_n to_o abraham_n in_o thy_o seed_n shall_v all_o nation_n be_v bless_v god_n say_v not_o of_o seed_n as_o of_o many_o but_o as_o of_o one_o that_o be_v christ_n say_v the_o text_n and_o here_o he_o take_v not_o hold_v of_o the_o nature_n of_o angel_n but_o here_o we_o see_v he_o take_v hold_v of_o the_o seed_n of_o abraham_n in_o christ_n person_n again_o the_o extent_n of_o this_o take_a hold_n reach_v all_o nation_n for_o god_n do_v not_o only_o take_v hold_v of_o the_o humane_a nature_n into_o the_o person_n of_o christ_n as_o be_v say_v but_o also_o take_v hold_v of_o a_o seed_n of_o humane_a nature_n in_o a_o national_a extent_n at_o that_o time_n by_o promise_n in_o abraham_n loin_n in_o the_o seed_n to_o be_v when_o they_o be_v not_o and_o to_o this_o end_n to_o be_v a_o mean_n to_o return_v the_o blessing_n of_o christ_n upon_o humane_a nature_n over_o all_o nation_n that_o be_v to_o return_v they_o to_o the_o aforesaid_a posture_n in_o which_o they_o may_v receive_v the_o say_a gift_n of_o eternal_a life_n and_o all_o comprehend_v in_o these_o word_n to_o abraham_n i_o will_v make_v of_o thou_o a_o great_a nation_n and_o thou_o shall_v be_v a_o blessing_n in_o thou_o shall_v all_o the_o family_n of_o the_o earth_n be_v bless_v that_o be_v that_o now_o lie_v under_o a_o curse_n in_o my_o wrath_n in_o heathenism_n and_o here_o again_o god_n take_v not_o hold_v of_o the_o nature_n of_o angel_n but_o in_o the_o election_n of_o this_o one_o nation_n in_o abraham_n loin_n of_o the_o seed_n of_o abraham_n he_o take_v hold_v as_o a_o continue_a act_n of_o the_o universal_a election_n of_o adam_n fall_v mass_n but_o if_o you_o ask_v i_o what_o be_v that_o wrath_n they_o lie_v under_o and_o how_o all_o nation_n but_o one_o become_v heathen_n i_o answer_v it_o be_v when_o jehovah_n look_v down_o from_o heaven_n upon_o the_o child_n of_o man_n to_o see_v if_o there_o be_v any_o that_o do_v understand_v and_o seek_v god_n and_o see_v that_o they_o be_v all_o go_v out_o of_o the_o way_n and_o all_o corrupt_a and_o abominable_a which_o make_v god_n wrath_n with_o they_o under_o which_o wrath_n they_o then_o lay_v if_o you_o ask_v i_o when_o this_o be_v god_n come_v down_o to_o see_v i_o answer_v it_o be_v when_o jehovah_n come_v down_o to_o see_v the_o city_n of_o babel_n and_o the_o tower_n that_o the_o offspring_n of_o noah_n be_v build_v in_o the_o plain_a of_o shinor_n for_o then_o and_o there_o he_o confound_v their_o language_n and_o so_o scatter_v they_o upon_o the_o face_n of_o all_o the_o earth_n to_o walk_v in_o their_o own_o way_n and_o so_o they_o all_o become_v heathen_n except_v a_o very_a few_o until_o by_o virtue_n of_o the_o say_v
