29._o for_o the_o gift_n and_o call_v of_o god_n be_v without_o repentance_n he_o will_v never_o repent_v of_o any_o favour_n that_o he_o have_v ever_o by_o promise_n confer_v upon_o any_o of_o abraham_n spiritual_a seed_n or_o their_o child_n so_o that_o when_o those_o jew_n that_o be_v now_o unbeliever_n and_o so_o cast_v out_o and_o break_v off_o from_o the_o church_n shall_v at_o length_n be_v bring_v to_o believe_v they_o shall_v then_o partake_v of_o the_o same_o privilege_n and_o benefit_n as_o they_o have_v ever_o do_v that_o continue_v in_o it_o and_o as_o they_o shall_v have_v do_v if_o they_o have_v so_o continue_v and_o so_o also_o their_o child_n for_o ver_fw-la 16._o if_o the_o first_o fruit_n be_v holy_a the_o lump_n be_v also_o holy_a and_o if_o the_o root_n

clear_a from_o the_o apostle_n rom._n 15.8_o 9_o now_o i_o say_v that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v a_o minister_n of_o the_o circumcision_n for_o the_o truth_n of_o god_n to_o confirm_v the_o promise_n

by_o the_o gospel_n so_o that_o belong_v to_o the_o same_o church_n and_o partake_v of_o the_o same_o spiritual_a promise_n and_o privilege_n those_o that_o do_v belong_v to_o jew_n and_o the_o jewish_a church_n and_o their_o seed_n former_o do_v likewise_o belong_v to_o christian_a believer_n now_o and_o so_o in_o the_o same_o extent_n and_o latitude_n to_o their_o child_n also_o there_o be_v no_o alteration_n make_v in_o that_o respect_n more_o than_o in_o any_o other_o as_o the_o spiritual_a seed_n of_o abraham_n be_v ever_o holy_a and_o god_n covenant-people_n so_o be_v their_o

by_o or_o to_o the_o husband_n that_o believe_v to_o the_o holy_a use_n of_o such_o a_o one_o in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n for_o to_o the_o pure_a all_o thing_n be_v pure_a else_o be_v your_o child_n common_a or_o unclean_a as_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o world_n be_v now_o in_o their_o heathenism_n to_o who_o therefore_o god_n have_v no_o regard_n as_o to_o his_o child_n but_o now_o be_v they_o holy_a relative_o and_o of_o a_o religious_a consideration_n before_o god_n as_o separate_v and_o dedicate_v to_o god_n and_o so_o be_v part_n of_o his_o covenant-people_n it_o be_v not_o a_o matrimonial_a holiness_n that_o the_o apostle_n intend_v or_o that_o the_o child_n of_o believer_n be_v therefore_o holy_a because_o they_o be_v no_o bastard_n for_o the_o child_n of_o pagan_n be_v as_o well_o holy_a in_o that_o respect_n that_o be_v bear_v in_o wedlock_n though_o the_o parent_n neither_o of_o they_o be_v believer_n so_o that_o this_o interpretation_n will_v make_v the_o apostle_n speak_v impertinent_o and_o untrue_o it_o be_v a_o relative_a or_o federal_a holiness_n therefore_o that_o the_o apostle_n must_v intend_v and_o by_o this_o he_o show_v that_o such_o child_n be_v of_o a_o holy_a consideration_n in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n and_o be_v of_o the_o number_n of_o his_o holy_a and_o covenant-people_n so_o that_o we_o can_v no_o where_n find_v any_o dissolution_n or_o discontinuance_n of_o the_o church-membership_a of_o infant_n under_o the_o gospel_n which_o they_o once_o have_v but_o it_o still_o remain_v the_o same_o as_o ever_o and_o be_v rather_o more_o confirm_v it_o be_v the_o same_o church_n covenant_n spiritual_a privilege_n and_o member_n as_o ever_o and_o these_o still_o keep_v by_o the_o same_o grant_v the_o same_o place_n and_o stand_v in_o the_o church_n as_o ever_o they_o do_v and_o as_o this_o therefore_o be_v once_o the_o privilege_n of_o infant_n of_o abraham_n spiritual_a seed_n to_o stand_v in_o a_o holy_a relation_n to_o god_n as_o his_o peculiar_a covenant-people_n and_o child_n so_o it_o be_v still_o but_o for_o a_o further_a confirmation_n and_o clear_n of_o this_o matter_n we_o may_v observe_v also_o from_o our_o saviour_n some_o such_o indication_n of_o the_o same_o respect_n have_v to_o they_o in_o choose_v call_v and_o esteem_v of_o they_o as_o ever_o to_o this_o purpose_n we_o find_v mark_v 10.14_o they_o bring_v young_a child_n to_o he_o that_o he_o shall_v touch_v they_o or_o as_o st._n matthew_n have_v it_o matth._n 19.13_o that_o he_o shall_v put_v his_o hand_n on_o they_o

all_o which_o show_v christ_n good_a will_n and_o respect_n and_o dear_a affection_n to_o they_o as_o member_n of_o his_o church_n and_o part_n of_o his_o kingdom_n and_o which_o way_n soever_o the_o

such_o as_o shall_v be_v save_v and_o our_o saviour_n reason_n here_o for_o of_o such_o be_v the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n show_v that_o he_o mean_v this_o of_o such_o infant_n proper_o take_v and_o
