passage_n of_o the_o apostle_n 2_o cor._n 5._o 16._o wherefore_o henceforth_o know_v we_o no_o man_n after_o the_o flesh_n it_o seem_v then_o that_o heretofore_o there_o have_v be_v a_o knowledge_n take_v of_o person_n after_o the_o flesh_n and_o it_o be_v as_o plain_a there_o be_v that_o becuase_n the_o jew_n be_v of_o the_o natural_a or_o fleshly_a seed_n of_o abraham_n they_o be_v therefore_o all_o of_o they_o admit_v to_o the_o privilege_n of_o a_o external_a church-membership_a while_o other_o be_v exempt_v but_o we_o see_v the_o apostle_n resolve_v henceforth_o to_o disclaim_v any_o such_o cognizance_n of_o they_o or_o any_o other_o upon_o the_o account_n of_o a_o mere_a fleshly_a descent_n and_o to_o this_o very_a purpose_n immediate_o subjoin_v in_o the_o follow_a verse_n therefore_o if_o any_o man_n be_v in_o christ_n he_o be_v a_o new_a creature_n old_a thing_n be_v pass_v away_o all_o thing_n be_v become_v new_a the_o old_a church_n and_o old_a church-membership_a

good_a fruit_n must_v be_v hew_v down_o and_o the_o reason_n be_v render_v for_o that_o now_o the_o axe_n be_v lay_v to_o the_o root_n of_o the_o tree_n mark_v it_o now_o it_o be_v so_o it_o be_v not_o so_o before_o the_o axe_n be_v never_o till_o now_o lay_v thus_o unto_o the_o root_n of_o the_o tree_n which_o must_v needs_o be_v understand_v in_o reference_n to_o that_o birth_n and_o fleshly_a privilege_n speak_v of_o before_o which_o they_o have_v so_o long_o boast_v of_o as_o the_o whole_a context_n show_n but_o now_o god_n be_v resolve_v to_o make_v other_o manner_n of_o work_n of_o it_o under_o the_o gospel-dispensation_n than_o he_o do_v before_o now_o the_o root_n of_o the_o tree_n be_v strike_v at_o a_o bar_n put_v natural_a descent_n or_o extraction_n from_o a_o religious_a root_n i.e._n godly_a parent_n will_v not_o now_o serve_v turn_n as_o in_o time_n past_o it_o do_v to_o give_v any_o true_a right_n or_o title_n to_o church-priviledge_n moreover_o if_o god_n now_o will_v not_o suffer_v any_o of_o the_o natural_a branch_n to_o abide_v on_o their_o own_o natural_a stock_n viz._n abraham_n be_v sure_a he_o will_v not_o admit_v any_o gentile_n that_o be_v not_o natural_a branch_n of_o abraham_n to_o be_v graft_v into_o the_o good_a olive_n without_o faith_n and_o regeneration_n object_n but_o if_o child_n may_v not_o be_v baptize_v this_o make_v the_o privilege_n of_o believer_n child_n under_o the_o gospel_n less_o than_o be_v they_o under_o the_o law_n for_o their_o child_n be_v admit_v member_n of_o the_o visible_a church_n by_o circumcision_n and_o we_o can_v but_o conclude_v that_o our_o privilege_n for_o ourselves_o and_o for_o our_o child_n be_v at_o least_o as_o large_a great_a and_o comfortable_a as_o they_o and_o therefore_o our_o infant_n be_v to_o be_v baptize_v answ_n to_o this_o we_o reply_v that_o we_o do_v not_o doubt_v but_o that_o our_o privilege_n in_o respect_n of_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n and_o all_o spiritual_a blessing_n be_v as_o great_a and_o comfortable_a as_o they_o be_v but_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n the_o blessing_n and_o divine_a privilege_n thereof_o be_v neither_o make_v to_o the_o jew_n natural_a posterity_n nor_o to_o we_o and_o although_o circumcision_n be_v a_o privilege_n in_o some_o respect_n to_o the_o jew_n above_o what_o the_o heathen_n have_v 10._o yet_o it_o be_v term_v by_o the_o apostle_n a_o intolerable_a yoke_n now_o therefore_o why_o tempt_v you_o god_n to_o put_v a_o yoke_n upon_o the_o neck_n of_o the_o disciple_n which_o neither_o our_o father_n nor_o we_o be_v able_a to_o bear_v their_o child_n be_v not_o circumcise_v as_o child_n of_o believer_n and_o so_o seal_v with_o a_o new_a covenant-seal_n as_o be_v make_v new_a covenant-children_n thereby_o circumcision_n do_v not_o confer_v grace_n nor_o make_v they_o heir_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n it_o be_v therefore_o no_o more_o than_o a_o external_a privilege_n to_o the_o natural_a lineage_n and_o seed_n of_o abraham_n as_o a_o typical_a and_o shadowy_a thing_n whereby_o his_o posterity_n be_v to_o be_v mark_v to_o distinguish_v they_o from_o all_o the_o nation_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o to_o keep_v that_o line_n clear_a from_o whence_o christ_n according_a to_o the_o flesh_n be_v to_o come_v and_o to_o be_v a_o sign_n in_o their_o flesh_n to_o put_v they_o in_o mind_n that_o god_n will_v perform_v the_o promise_n of_o the_o messiah_n make_v to_o abraham_n and_o also_o to_o oblige_v they_o to_o keep_v the_o law_n for_o he_o that_o be_v circumcise_v be_v a_o debtor_n to_o keep_v the_o whole_a law._n hence_o it_o be_v the_o jewish_a christian_n instead_o of_o look_v upon_o circumcision_n to_o be_v a_o privilege_n upon_o a_o spiritual_a account_n can_v not_o but_o acknowledge_v it_o a_o great_a mercy_n they_o be_v deliver_v from_o it_o and_o hence_o it_o be_v the_o apostle_n exhort_v the_o saint_n to_o stand_v fast_o in_o that_o liberty_n in_o which_o christ_n have_v make_v they_o free_a 4._o and_o not_o be_v entangle_v again_o in_o the_o yoke_n of_o bondage_n neither_o ought_v such_o a_o thing_n as_o mr._n danvers_n observe_v to_o be_v any_o more_o esteem_v the_o loss_n of_o a_o privilege_n than_o our_o not_o enjoy_v literal_o a_o holy_a land_n city_n temple_n a_o succession_n of_o high-priest_n and_o priesthood_n by_o generation_n or_o lineal_a descent_n for_o you_o know_v their_o child_n be_v priest_n successive_o in_o their_o generation_n a_o levite_n beget_v a_o priest_n or_o minister_n as_o well_o as_o they_o and_o other_o tribe_n beget_v church-member_n now_o though_o all_o these_o outward_a privilege_n be_v go_v yet_o our_o privilege_n be_v more_o spiritual_a be_v great_a both_o to_o ourselves_o and_o offspring_n they_o look_v for_o christ_n to_o come_v as_o hold_v forth_o under_o many_o dark_a type_n and_o shadow_n we_o be_v assure_v he_o be_v come_v and_o have_v accomplish_v what_o be_v foretell_v of_o he_o we_o behold_v in_o the_o glass_n of_o the_o gospel_n as_o with_o open_a face_n the_o glory_n of_o the_o lord_n 18._o all_o those_o type_n be_v explain_v and_o
