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 he_o will_v then_o the_o term_n covenant_n or_o sign_n in_o it_o must_v signify_v general_o and_o large_o in_o fine_a i_o will_v ask_v he_o if_o when_o it_o please_v god_n to_o say_v this_o be_v my_o covenant_n which_o you_o shall_v keep_v every_o man_n child_n among_o you_o shall_v be_v circumcise_v he_o then_o say_v no_o more_o than_o what_o he_o have_v before_o in_o verse_n the_o 9_o the_o 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 my_o first_o letter_n p._n 25_o 26_o 27._o but_o more_o express_o in_o my_o second_o from_o p._n 85._o to_o 91._o and_o most_o full_o in_o my_o last_o from_o p._n 150._o to_o 154._o in_o these_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 here_o he_o be_v catch_v for_o though_o he_o have_v affirm_v as_o you_o may_v see_v he_o have_v that_o he_o have_v already_o demonstrate_v when_o indeed_o he_o have_v not_o you_o must_v not_o present_o believe_v he_o can_v make_v it_o out_o for_o this_o as_o difficult_a as_o you_o or_o i_o will_v think_v it_o it_o be_v a_o easy_a atchivement_n to_o a_o man_n of_o his_o performance_n he_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 or_o give_v the_o least_o hint_n of_o any_o he_o i_o say_v that_o can_v affirm_v the_o text_n mention_n no_o sign_n at_o all_o nor_o give_v the_o least_o hint_n of_o any_o and_o yet_o can_v interpret_v what_o he_o say_v as_o he_o do_v that_o there_o be_v no_o such_o term_n or_o a_o syllable_n of_o that_o sound_n in_o the_o text_n that_o be_v he_o that_o can_v say_v a_o thing_n be_v in_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o text_n that_o be_v neither_o mention_v nor_o hint_v in_o the_o least_o in_o the_o term_n of_o it_o he_o may_v say_v what_o he_o will_v you_o must_v not_o think_v to_o hold_v he_o if_o you_o think_v you_o have_v he_o fast_o in_o the_o very_a term_n he_o will_v give_v you_o the_o slip_n by_o a_o syllable_n of_o the_o sound_n and_o salve_v his_o contradiction_n with_o nonsense_n to_o be_v mention_v and_o hint_v which_o with_o all_o other_o be_v to_o be_v express_v and_o employ_v in_o a_o text_n by_o this_o interpreter_n shall_v be_v understand_v of_o sound_n and_o not_o of_o sense_n ay_o though_o it_o be_v say_v no_o mention_n nor_o hint_n of_o any_o sign_n and_o he_o that_o say_v any_o sign_n can_v be_v understand_v to_o mean_v the_o sound_n sign_n the_o mention_n of_o the_o 1_o cor._n 7._o 14_o remind_v i_o of_o his_o amazement_n p._n 128._o for_o he_o be_v often_o amaze_v amaze_v much_o he_o be_v at_o my_o exposition_n of_o genesis_n 17._o 9_o 10._o and_o now_o again_o amaze_v almost_o as_o much_o at_o my_o interpretation_n of_o rom._n 4._o in_o my_o argument_n from_o p._n 166._o to_o 168._o and_o indeed_o nothing_o but_o a_o mazement_n can_v excuse_v his_o great_a mistake_n as_o that_o i_o shall_v say_v the_o reward_n to_o abraham_n be_v personal_a and_o earthly_a and_o be_v of_o canaan_n only_o and_o that_o my_o expression_n have_v a_o sound_n that_o be_v harsh_a and_o dissonant_n to_o rom._n 4._o and_o 4._o my_o design_n in_o touch_v on_o this_o text_n be_v only_o to_o evince_v that_o abraham_n receive_v circumcision_n as_o a_o seal_n of_o the_o righteousness_n by_o faith_n which_o he_o have_v urge_v be_v nothing_o contradictory_n to_o what_o i_o say_v concern_v his_o stand_n with_o ishmael_n and_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o

reward_n of_o abraham_n faith_n who_o but_o such_o a_o sophister_n dare_v sober_o to_o deny_v it_o the_o text_n be_v plain_a for_o it_o genesis_n 15._o 17._o but_o that_o heaven_n also_o be_v not_o his_o reward_n i_o do_v not_o say_v no_o more_o than_o the_o text_n do_v which_o though_o in_o the_o letter_n it_o do_v but_o mention_n canaan_n yet_o sure_o it_o do_v not_o exclude_v heaven_n and_o
