what_o be_v the_o grace_n of_o the_o covenant_n that_o circumcision_n do_v relate_v to_o this_o be_v a_o very_a large_a field_n there_o be_v three_o part_n of_o this_o grace_n of_o the_o covenant_n that_o the_o lord_n make_v with_o abraham_n and_o his_o seed_n 1._o to_o be_v a_o god_n to_o he_o 2._o to_o give_v he_o a_o seed_n 3._o to_o provide_v a_o inheritance_n both_o for_o he_o and_o they_o and_o these_o three_o general_a head_n will_v comprise_v and_o take_v in_o the_o whole_a mystery_n of_o circumcision_n 1._o the_o first_o part_n of_o the_o covenant_n be_v this_o that_o god_n will_v be_v a_o god_n to_o he_o and_o his_o seed_n and_o this_o indeed_o be_v most_o comprehensive_a and_o include_v all_o the_o rest_n i_o will_v establish_v my_o covenant_n and_o be_v a_o god_n to_o thou_o and_o thy_o child_n after_o thou_o gen._n 17.7_o and_o what_o be_v it_o for_o god_n to_o be_v a_o god_n to_o be_v a_o god_n to_o a_o man_n thy_o god_n or_o a_o god_n to_o thou_o it_o be_v when_o he_o give_v to_o a_o poor_a creature_n a_o special_a interest_n and_o propriety_n in_o himself_o so_o that_o god_n in_o his_o alsufficiency_n and_o efficiency_n be_v we_o and_o we_o be_v he_o all_o his_o

my_o glory_n the_o infinite_a wisdom_n of_o god_n shall_v contrive_v their_o good_a who_o god_n he_o be_v the_o infinite_a power_n of_o god_n shall_v effect_v it_o the_o infinite_a love_n of_o god_n be_v they_o his_o mercy_n truth_n and_o all_o his_o attribute_n be_v they_o as_o his_o essential_a power_n so_o his_o work_a power_n or_o his_o actual_a power_n as_o he_o will_v be_v all_o to_o they_o so_o he_o will_v work_v all_o for_o they_o now_o this_o as_o i_o say_v include_v and_o infer_v all_o the_o rest_n this_o be_v the_o first_o and_o most_o general_a 2._o that_o he_o will_v give_v he_o a_o seed_n that_o be_v another_o part_n of_o the_o covenant_n gen._n 17.5_o 6._o thou_o shall_v be_v a_o father_n of_o many_o nation_n thy_o name_n shall_v be_v no_o more_o call_v abram_n but_o abraham_n i_o will_v make_v nation_n of_o thou_o as_o god_n do_v lengthen_v out_o his_o name_n so_o he_o will_v lengthen_v out_o his_o posterity_n even_o to_o length_n of_o time_n but_o now_o what_o be_v this_o seed_n the_o lord_n promise_v to_o abraham_n the_o question_n be_v whether_o it_o be_v a_o mere_a natural_a seed_n or_o a_o spiritual_a seed_n certain_o it_o be_v not_o mere_o a_o natural_a seed_n it_o be_v true_a that_o be_v one_o thing_n that_o be_v the_o shell_n and_o outside_n of_o it_o but_o the_o kernel_n of_o this_o promise_n be_v a_o spiritual_a seed_n there_o be_v a_o fourfold_a seed_n promise_v to_o abraham_n above_o a_o natural_a seed_n and_o
this_o last_o question_n be_v because_o that_o all_o the_o ordinance_n and_o institution_n of_o those_o time_n they_o do_v all_o relate_v to_o the_o same_o covenant_n every_o ordinance_n do_v but_o with_o some_o peculiarity_n with_o some_o special_a respect_n and_o in_o a_o peculiar_a manner_n now_o circumcision_n have_v this_o peculiar_a respect_n it_o be_v the_o sign_n of_o initiation_n the_o
