we_o come_v to_o be_v the_o several_a argument_n he_o bring_v in_o p._n 53._o to_o prove_v circumcision_n only_o a_o seal_n to_o abraham_n answer_v i._n first_o because_o the_o righteousness_n of_o

the_o seal_n of_o the_o righteousness_n of_o faith_n so_o that_o what_o it_o seal_v to_o abraham_n be_v as_o he_o be_v a_o heir_n of_o the_o same_o promise_n with_o isaac_n and_o jacob_n heb._n 11.9_o therefore_o what_o it_o seal_v to_o he_o as_o a_o heir_n it_o seal_v to_o isaac_n and_o jacob_n and_o so_o to_o all_o believer_n as_o coheir_n of_o the_o same_o inheritance_n heb._n 6.17_o 2._o if_o it_o be_v a_o seal_n of_o abraham_n faith_n only_o than_o it_o must_v be_v either_o as_o it_o be_v a_o weak_a faith_n or_o strong_a faith_n 1_o it_o can_v not_o be_v the_o first_o because_o abraham_n faith_n be_v by_o the_o apostle_n say_v not_o to_o be_v weak_a rom._n 4.19_o 20._o 2._o if_o it_o have_v be_v give_v as_o a_o badge_n of_o honour_n to_o abraham_n faith_n as_o i_o have_v see_v it_o affirm_v in_o a_o piece_n or_o c._n b._n as_o a_o strong_a faith_n than_o it_o shall_v have_v be_v give_v to_o adam_n and_o noah_n who_o have_v as_o strong_a faith_n as_o abraham_n and_o less_o gospel-light_n than_o abraham_n have_v to_o work_v it_o 3._o there_o be_v no_o necessity_n to_o have_v abraham_n justification_n seal_v more_o than_o adam_n seth_n noah_n or_o any_o of_o his_o

not_o be_v a_o seal_n to_o isaac_n as_o well_o as_o to_o abraham_n and_o so_o not_o only_o a_o seal_n of_o abraham_n faith_n it_o may_v have_v be_v give_v upon_o the_o birth_n of_o ishmael_n and_o abraham_n need_v not_o have_v stay_v for_o a_o son_n of_o promise_n for_o it_o will_v have_v seal_v as_o much_o then_o to_o abraham_n as_o it_o do_v after_o if_o it_o be_v not_o the_o covenant-seal_a 5._o have_v it_o not_o be_v a_o seal_n to_o isaac_n and_o so_o a_o part_n of_o the_o covenant_n than_o isaac_n not_o be_v circumcise_v have_v be_v no_o breach_n of_o the_o covenant_n direct_o against_o that_o place_n gen._n 17.10_o for_o a_o seal_n the_o apostle_n call_v it_o and_o a_o sign_n god_n call_v it_o so_o that_o have_v it_o only_o be_v a_o seal_n of_o abraham_n faith_n the_o covenant_n have_v not_o come_v seal_v to_o isaac_n because_o the_o seal_n reach_v only_o the_o faith_n of_o abraham_n and_o when_o he_o die_v the_o seal_n be_v break_v off_o therefore_o 6._o it_o be_v a_o clear_a truth_n that_o as_o the_o blessing_n of_o the_o covenant_n be_v make_v to_o abraham_n by_o promise_n and_o to_o his_o seed_n so_o god_n main_a drift_n be_v to_o make_v those_o covenant-blessing_n sure_a to_o all_o the_o heir_n of_o promise_n heb._n 6.17_o he_o therefore_o deal_v as_o a_o man_n that_o will_v be_v believe_v first_o he_o promise●_n second_o he_o swear_v to_o confirm_v that_o promise_n three_o he_o seal_v what_o he_o have_v promise_v so_o the_o seal_n become_v the_o covenant-seal_a as_o the_o oath_n be_v the_o covenant_n oath_n and_o what_o god_n promise_v to_o abraham_n he_o promise_v to_o his_o seed_n and_o what_o he_o confirm_v by_o oath_n to_o abraham_n he_o confirm_v to_o his_o

duty_n inward_a and_o outward_a and_o all_o this_o but_o one_o covenant_n this_o covenant_n be_v confirm_v first_o to_o abraham_n as_o a_o public_a father_n second_o to_o his_o seed_n i._n e._n all_o the_o heir_n of_o promise_n to_o the_o world_n end_n both_o jew_n and_o gentile_n 1._o by_o promise_n 2._o by_o oath_n 3._o by_o seal_v so_o that_o what_o be_v promise_v to_o abraham_n be_v promise_v to_o all_o his_o seed_n and_o what_o be_v swear_v and_o seal_v to_o abraham_n be_v swear_v and_o seal_v to_o all_o his_o seed_n according_a to_o this_o definition_n also_o we_o shall_v see_v a_o twofold_a admission_n into_o covenant_n 1._o into_o the_o outward_a privilege_n of_o the_o covenant_n 2._o into_o the_o inward_a grace_n of_o the_o covenant_n hence_o also_o we_o shall_v have_v light_a to_o see_v first_o how_o hypocrite_n and_o wicked_a man_n do_v then_o and_o do_v now_o get_v within_o the_o covenant_n second_o how_o such_o as_o be_v within_o the_o covenant_n do_v break_v it_o as_o first_o he_o that_o contemn_v or_o slight_v or_o neglect_v the_o token_n or_o seal_n of_o the_o covenant_n to_o his_o seed_n have_v break_v the_o covenant_n which_o be_v outward_a they_o may_v keep_v second_o the_o breach_n of_o any_o part_n of_o the_o moral_a law_n be_v a_o breach_n of_o the_o covenant_n and_o this_o also_o may_v have_v be_v external_o keep_v by_o all_o that_o be_v external_o within_o the_o covenant_n three_o all_o those_o typical_a church_n rite_n may_v have_v be_v keep_v and_o the_o neglect_n or_o breach_n of_o any_o one_o in_o the_o due_a order_n or_o manner_n require_v be_v a_o breach_n of_o the_o covenant_n for_o neglect_n of_o the_o first_o god_n wrath_n be_v so_o kindle_v against_o moses_n that_o he_o will_v have_v kill_v he_o for_o breach_n of_o the_o second_o and_o three_o israel_n be_v also_o punish_v with_o death_n many_o instance_n thereof_o may_v be_v give_v hence_o also_o we_o shall_v be_v lead_v to_o a_o answer_n how_o the_o ●ovenant_n be_v call_v 1._o old_a and_o so_o vanish_v away_o 2._o new_a and_o so_o remain_v 3._o a_o administration_n this_o be_v brief_o premise_v i_o now_o come_v to_o give_v in_o the_o answer_n 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 day_n which_o be_v also_o material_o the_o same_o with_o that_o righteous_a law_n moral_a give_v to_o israel_n from_o mount_n sinah_n though_o upon_o other_o term_n second_o the_o other_o of_o grace_n 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 law_n to_o israel_n that_o ever_o abraham_n seed_n shall_v enjoy_v canaan_n by_o the_o law_n as_o a_o covenant_n of_o work_n but_o only_o as_o have_v be_v lay_v down_o in_o the_o analysis_n as_o man_n part_n of_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n quest_n but_o if_o that_o be_v not_o a_o covenant_n of_o work_n give_v to_o israel_n when_o god_n take_v they_o by_o the_o hand_n in_o order_n to_o bring_v

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 all_o those_o scripture_n bring_v to_o this_o and_o therefore_o i_o further_o answer_v first_o the_o covenant_n there_o mention_v be_v call_v new_a as_o the_o law_n of_o love_n john_n 13.34.1_o john_n 2.8_o be_v call_v a_o new_a commandment_n or_o law_n which_o yet_o be_v not_o new_a in_o itself_o but_o the_o same_o command_v as_o be_v give_v to_o israel_n of_o old_a leu._n 19.18_o and_o as_o the_o

call_v new_a second_o because_o those_o typical_a ceremony_n and_o ordinance_n which_o be_v man_n part_n of_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n then_o and_o relate_v to_o his_o duty_n in_o god_n worship_n
