A80754	The covenant of God with Abraham, opened. Wherein I. The duty of infant-baptism is cleared. II. Something added concerning the Sabbath, and the nature and increase of the kingdome of Christ. Together with a short discourse concerning the manifestations of God unto his people in the last dayes. Wherein is shewed the manner of the spirits work therein to be in the use of ordinary gifts, not by extraordinary revelations. / By William Carter minister of the gospel in London.

it_o need_v not_o much_o be_v question_v but_o that_o their_o possess_n of_o the_o gate_n of_o their_o enemy_n in_o the_o earthly_a canaan_n be_v a_o type_n of_o what_o the_o spiritual_a seed_n

i_o shall_v show_v by_o answer_v so_o many_o question_n viz._n four_o quest_n 1._o why_o the_o lord_n shall_v take_v this_o course_n in_o blessing_n of_o his_o people_n evident_a it_o be_v that_o he_o be_v resolve_v to_o bless_v they_o as_o his_o child_n with_o all_o spiritual_a blessing_n in_o christ_n but_o why_o shall_v he_o do_v it_o in_o such_o a_o method_n to_o single_a out_o one_o of_o his_o people_n namely_o abraham_n and_o to_o bless_v he_o as_o the_o original_a pattern_n and_o in_o he_o to_o bless_v all_o the_o rest_n as_o his_o seed_n for_o so_o the_o point_n be_v that_o what_o god_n confirm_v by_o oath_n to_o abraham_n he_o confirm_v it_o to_o we_o even_o to_o all_o believer_n to_o the_o world_n end_n to_o this_o i_o answer_v answ_n the_o reason_n of_o it_o be_v in_o the_o text._n namely_o that_o he_o may_v show_v the_o immutability_n of_o his_o counsel_n to_o the_o heir_n of_o promise_n and_o that_o he_o may_v do_v as_o much_o as_o may_v be_v to_o help_v and_o strengthen_v his_o people_n faith_n that_o they_o may_v the_o better_o trust_v he_o the_o lord_n know_v that_o by_o draw_v out_o his_o work_n into_o length_n of_o time_n as_o he_o have_v do_v and_o
