salvation_n be_v here_o fasten_v only_o to_o believe_v and_o neither_o believe_v nor_o salvation_n to_o the_o man_n object_n 6._o rom._n 5.18_o as_o by_o the_o offence_n of_o one_o man_n judgement_n come_v upon_o all_o to_o condemnation_n so_o by_o the_o righteonsness_n of_o one_o etc._n etc._n here_o christ_n righteousness_n be_v make_v of_o equal_a extent_n to_o adam_n sin_n namely_o such_o as_o reach_v to_o all_o answ_n 1._o the_o apostle_n do_v here_o parallel_a adam_n sin_n and_o christ_n righteousness_n not_o in_o regard_n of_o their_o equal_a extent_n to_o all_o man_n in_o the_o world_n but_o to_o all_o their_o posterity_n as_o adam_n by_o his_o sin_n convey_v sin_n and_o death_n to_o all_o his_o posterity_n so_o christ_n by_o his_o suffering_n and_o obedience_n convey_v righteousness_n and_o life_n to_o all_o his_o posterity_n to_o all_o the_o faithful_a to_o all_o true_a believer_n who_o be_v call_v his_o seed_n isa_n 59.21_o and_o his_o child_n heb_fw-mi 2.13_o if_o there_o have_v be_v another_o generation_n of_o man_n that_o have_v not_o arisen_a out_o of_o adam_n root_n they_o have_v not_o be_v involve_v in_o the_o guilt_n of_o adam_n sin_n so_o there_o

2._o by_o this_o argument_n all_o man_n shall_v have_v righteousness_n and_o life_n and_o so_o all_o man_n in_o the_o end_n shall_v certain_o be_v save_v for_o the_o apostle_n say_v express_o in_o

of_o life_n object_n 7._o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n be_v universal_a make_v with_o all_o mankind_n therefore_o christ_n die_v for_o all_o for_o he_o be_v the_o foundation_n of_o this_o covenant_n answ_n 1._o that_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n be_v universal_a can_v never_o be_v prove_v for_o how_o can_v pagan_n and_o infidel_n who_o never_o hear_v of_o christ_n or_o covenant_n be_v say_v to_o be_v in_o covenant_n of_o who_o the_o apostle_n say_v that_o they_o be_v without_o god_n in_o the_o world_n and_o be_v stranger_n from_o the_o covenant_n eph._n 2.12_o 2._o in_o the_o first_o promise_n wherein_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n be_v hold_v forth_o there_o be_v a_o direct_a distinction_n as_o have_v be_v show_v betwixt_o the_o seed_n of_o the_o woman_n and_o the_o seed_n of_o the_o serpent_n the_o promise_n be_v make_v only_o to_o the_o seed_n of_o the_o woman_n namely_o to_o christ_n and_o those_o that_o shall_v be_v bear_v of_o he_o heb._n 2.13_o 3._o the_o apostle_n say_v that_o the_o promise_n wherein_o the_o covenant_n be_v comprehend_v be_v make_v to_o abraham_n and_o his_o seed_n not_o to_o seed_n as_o speak_v of_o many_o but_o to_o thy_o seed_n as_o of_o one_o that_o be_v christ_n gal._n 3.16_o now_o if_o the_o covenant_n be_v make_v only_o with_o christ_n mystical_a head_n and_o member_n as_o here_o it_o must_v be_v understand_v because_o the_o promise_n be_v make_v not_o only_o to_o christ_n but_o to_o abraham_n it_o be_v not_o make_v with_o all_o man_n all_o man_n be_v not_o abraham_n seed_n all_o man_n be_v not_o member_n of_o christ_n mystical_a body_n but_o only_a believer_n both_o of_o jew_n and_o gentile_n these_o only_o make_v that_o one_o seed_n 4._o in_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n the_o lord_n promise_v all_o those_o with_o who_o he_o make_v this_o covenant_n that_o he_o will_v give_v they_o a_o new_a heart_n and_o a_o new_a spirit_n that_o he_o will_v put_v his_o law_n into_o their_o inward_a part_n and_o write_v they_o in_o their_o heart_n and_o this_o promise_n be_v make_v absolute_o and_o without_o condition_n and_o therefore_o shall_v certain_o be_v fulfil_v to_o all_o those_o to_o who_o it_o be_v make_v but_o all_o man_n have_v not_o new_a heart_n and_o spirit_n give_v unto_o they_o therefore_o all_o be_v not_o within_o covenant_n neither_o be_v the_o covenant_n make_v with_o all_o object_n all_o that_o be_v visible_a member_n of_o the_o church_n that_o have_v receive_v the_o seal_n of_o the_o covenant_n and_o do_v still_o own_v it_o be_v in_o covenant_n but_o many_o of_o these_o be_v ignorant_a or_o profane_a and_o wicked_a therefore_o all_o that_o be_v in_o covenant_n have_v not_o new_a heart_n and_o spirit_n give_v unto_o they_o neither_o be_v the_o law_n of_o god_n write_v in_o their_o heart_n answ_n the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n may_v be_v consider_v two_o way_n either_o in_o regard_n of_o the_o outward_a dispensation_n and_o outward_a privilege_n attend_v it_o or_o in_o regard_n of_o those_o inward_a grace_n which_o be_v the_o proper_a effect_n of_o it_o in_o regard_n of_o the_o outward_a dispensation_n and_o outward_a privilege_n belong_v to_o it_o all_o visible_a member_n of_o the_o church_n may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v in_o covenant_n but_o in_o regard_n of_o the_o inward_a grace_n which_o be_v the_o proper_a effect_n and_o privilege_n he_o long_v to_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n those_o can_v be_v say_v to_o be_v in_o covenant_n who_o always_o remain_v destitute_a of_o they_o as_o abraham_n have_v a_o carnal_a seed_n who_o receive_v circumcision_n which_o be_v the_o seal_n of_o the_o covenant_n and_o do_v partake_v of_o other_o outward_a privilege_n belong_v to_o the_o people_n of_o god_n and_o a_o spiritual_a seed_n namely_o such_o as_o be_v of_o the_o faith_n of_o abraham_n so_o he_o have_v still_o no_o man_n can_v be_v say_v to_o be_v in_o covenant_n further_o than_o he_o know_v it_o and_o profess_v conformity_n to_o the_o condition_n of_o it_o wicked_a man_n may_v have_v the_o covenant_n make_v know_v to_o they_o and_o make_v outward_a profession_n of_o conformity_n to_o it_o and_o so_o have_v communion_n with_o the_o people_n of_o god_n in_o all_o outward_a ordinance_n and_o enjoy_v all_o outward_a privilege_n together_o with_o they_o but_o they_o can_v proper_o be_v say_v to_o be_v in_o covenant_n not_o partake_v of_o the_o most_o essential_a part_n of_o it_o of_o those_o great_a grace_n of_o justification_n sanctification_n and_o of_o salvation_n in_o the_o end_n object_n 8._o the_o apostle_n peter_n speak_v of_o such_o as_o deny_v the_o lord_n that_o buy_v they_o 2_o pet._n 2.2_o therefore_o christ_n have_v die_v for_o wicked_a man_n that_o perish_v in_o the_o end_n answ_n the_o scripture_n sometime_o speak_v of_o thing_n not_o only_o as_o they_o be_v but_o as_o they_o seem_v and_o appear_v to_o be_v as_o they_o be_v in_o the_o judgement_n and_o opinion_n of_o man_n thus_o our_o saviour_n have_v say_v in_o one_o place_n that_o to_o he_o that_o have_v shall_v be_v give_v and_o from_o he_o that_o have_v not_o shall_v be_v take_v away_o even_o that_o which_o he_o have_v mat._n 13.12_o in_o another_o place_n show_v his_o meaning_n say_v that_o shall_v be_v take_v away_o which_o he_o seem_v to_o have_v luke_n 8.18_o and_o in_o this_o sense_n he_o speak_v when_o he_o say_v that_o the_o whole_a have_v no_o need_n of_o the_o physician_n but_o the_o sick_a and_o that_o he_o come_v not_o to_o call_v the_o righteous_a but_o sinner_n to_o repentance_n and_o thus_o it_o be_v say_v of_o king_n ahaz_n that_o he_o sacrifice_v to_o the_o god_n of_o damascus_n that_o smite_v he_o 2_o chr._n 28.23_o they_o do_v not_o so_o indeed_o but_o he_o think_v they_o do_v so_o they_o seem_v to_o he_o to_o do_v so_o and_o therefore_o the_o scripture_n speak_v of_o it_o according_o and_o so_o it_o be_v speak_v in_o this_o place_n these_o man_n have_v the_o knowledge_n of_o christ_n and_o make_v outward_a profession_n of_o he_o and_o his_o religion_n and_o therefore_o seem_v to_o be_v such_o as_o be_v buy_v and_o redeem_v by_o he_o but_o they_o be_v not_o so_o indeed_o finis_fw-la
