god_n sign_n be_v a_o identick_a proposition_n and_o do_v signify_v no_o more_o than_o that_o circumcision_n be_v circumcision_n for_o if_o he_o say_v it_o signify_v more_o as_o i_o shall_v think_v

thou_o shall_v keep_v my_o covenant_n therefore_o thou_o and_o thy_o seed_n for_o if_o god_n do_v say_v no_o more_o or_o no_o other_o in_o verse_n 10._o than_o he_o have_v say_v before_o in_o verse_n 9_o then_o he_o say_v but_o the_o same_o again_o but_o if_o he_o do_v say_v other_o or_o more_o as_o undoubted_o he_o do_v for_o now_o and_o not_o before_o he_o tell_v what_o the_o covenant_n be_v then_o keep_v of_o the_o covenant_n verse_n the_o 9_o the_o must_v be_v understand_v but_o general_o as_o certain_o it_o must_v and_o i_o have_v evincedit_fw-la mus_fw-la in_o some_o measure_n in_o

place_n you_o will_v see_v the_o vanity_n of_o his_o boast_n p._n 62._o viz._n that_o the_o sense_n can_v be_v general_n and_o indeterminate_a for_o a_o general_n indeterminate_a sense_n be_v no_o sense_n thus_o general_n and_o appellative_a expression_n be_v nonsensicall_a to_o this_o man_n and_o owe_v no_o man_n any_o thing_n but_o to_o love_v one_o another_o at_o this_o rate_n shall_v signify_v nothing_o as_o indeed_o it_o seem_v not_o to_o signify_v much_o with_o he_o because_o it_o be_v not_o say_v owe_v not_o james_n peter_n john_n or_o paul_n but_o owe_v no_o man_n nothing_o but_o love_n and_o so_o much_o for_o his_o two_o sign_n a_o fiction_n of_o his_o own_o which_o he_o will_v fasten_v on_o i_o whereas_o i_o never_o speak_v or_o think_v of_o two_o particular_a sign_n as_o actual_o institute_v in_o the_o 17_o the_o of_o genesis_n but_o only_o of_o sign_v general_o speak_v of_o verse_n 9_o and_o of_o a_o particular_a sign_n institute_v in_o verse_n the_o 10_o the_o thus_o i_o speak_v and_o still_o speak_v which_o no_o more_o do_v signify_v two_o sign_n than_o when_o one_o shall_v say_v god_n make_v man_n a_o reasonable_a creature_n and_o peter_n be_v a_o man_n he_o speak_v of_o two_o man_n of_o one_o in_o the_o former_a proposition_n and_o of_o another_o in_o the_o latter_a as_o to_o the_o three_o point_n which_o he_o will_v put_v i_o upon_o which_o be_v to_o prove_v that_o abraham_n represent_v the_o carnal_a seed_n only_o in_o circumcision_n and_o isaac_n the_o spiritual_a seed_n in_o baptism_n i_o have_v speak_v abundant_o what_o my_o sense_n be_v as_o to_o the_o former_a already_o and_o as_o to_o the_o latter_a i_o have_v also_o already_o show_v it_o a_o calumny_n as_o to_o the_o implication_n that_o isaac_n be_v baptize_v and_o in_o baptism_n be_v a_o type_n but_o though_o he_o be_v not_o a_o representative_a or_o figure_n of_o the_o spiritual_a seed_n of_o abraham_n the_o believe_a gentile_n in_o baptism_n see_v he_o never_o be_v baptize_v yet_o that_o he_o be_v a_o representative_a of_o they_o in_o the_o covenant_n of_o promise_n and_o that_o as_o well_o in_o the_o duty_n and_o obligation_n as_o in_o the_o privilege_n and_o blessing_n of_o it_o be_v i_o think_v by_o this_o beyond_o all_o dispute_n but_o of_o all_o this_o i_o have_v say_v enough_o before_o isaac_n be_v not_o a_o representative_a of_o the_o believe_a gentile_n in_o baptism_n but_o in_o the_o covenant_n as_o to_o the_o 1_o cor_fw-la 7._o 14._o from_o which_o i_o prove_v there_o be_v a_o external_n relative_n holiness_n under_o the_o gospel_n as_o well_o as_o a_o internal_a and_o absolute_a he_o round_o tell_v his_o reader_n p._n 24._o for_o he_o never_o tell_v i_o so_o before_o that_o as_o he_o have_v already_o demonstrate_v it_o do_v not_o at_o all_o prove_v the_o continuation_n of_o any_o external_n or_o relative_n holiness_n arise_v from_o the_o covenant_n but_o sir_n you_o must_v not_o be_v too_o easy_a in_o believe_v of_o he_o as_o to_o demonstration_n for_o i_o assure_v you_o after_o what_o i_o answer_v in_o my_o first_o letter_n from_o p._n 33._o to_o 49._o which_o once_o you_o think_v beyond_o exception_n and_o i_o hope_v still_o do_v i_o never_o receive_v the_o least_o reply_n in_o any_o of_o his_o letter_n as_o to_o that_o and_o therefore_o what_o he_o speak_v p._n 24._o of_o demonstration_n here_o it_o be_v as_o what_o he_o say_v of_o it_o in_o many_o other_o place_n and_o with_o reference_n to_o many_o other_o particular_n viz._n but_o a_o vision_n of_o his_o too_o much_o heat_v fancy_n and_o a_o popular_a charm_n the_o world_n must_v know_v that_o he_o have_v do_v great_a thing_n some_o where_o but_o he_o can_v tell_v where_o himself_o not_o that_o i_o will_v have_v you_o think_v too_o confident_o

that_o can_v find_v a_o sign_n in_o genesis_n 17._o 9_o as_o employ_v in_o the_o sense_n for_o so_o he_o speak_v p._n 105._o when_o yet_o himself_o say_v the_o text_n mention_n no_o sign_n at_o all_o

reward_n give_v to_o abraham_n for_o his_o believe_v how_o else_o be_v it_o that_o his_o faith_n be_v account_v unto_o he_o for_o righteousness_n for_o though_o the_o reward_n be_v infinite_o much_o

abraham_n do_v but_o abraham_n can_v not_o have_v demand_v it_o as_o his_o due_n or_o a_o debt_n after_o this_o he_o tell_v i_o p._n 129._o that_o all_o that_o follow_v to_o the_o close_a namely_o in_o my_o last_o letter_n from_o p._n 169._o to_o the_o end_n be_v but_o strife_n about_o word_n in_o which_o he_o find_v not_o any_o thing_n but_o what_o do_v nauseate_a but_o you_o sir_n will_v
