What haue we to learn herein to wit by the strangenesse of Isaacs conception and birth Past By the conception birth of Isaac which was not to be déemed in the vse of reason all men are driuen from themselues as it were to abiure the expostulation with flesh and bloud when as the Lord hath giuen out his word For howsoeuer it may séeme vnto the naturall man vnpossible and incredible yet to the spirituall man who hath the eyes of faith fixed on Gods promises the same things are easte Par. It is said that Isaac was circumcised the eight day after he was borne Gen. 17.10 I would know of you what was meant by it Past Circumcision was a couenant betwéen God and Abrahams séed Or circumcision was called a couenant because it signified or was a sacrament of a Couenant had the promise of grace annexed vnto it This couenant of circūcision in the particular consideratiōs therof hath relation to the Sacrament of Baptisme by comparison the one doth expound the other and by the right vse or nature of both the latter doth abolish the former The fift Particular Par.
