forfeit_v their_o covenant-interest_n so_o that_o the_o prophet_n evince_v the_o unreasonableness_n of_o their_o expect_v their_o continue_a possession_n of_o the_o land_n of_o canaan_n while_o they_o be_v apostatise_v from_o god_n notwithstanding_o their_o relation_n unto_o abraham_n do_v implicit_o evince_v the_o unreasonableness_n of_o their_o expect_v that_o god_n shall_v continue_v to_o be_v a_o god_n unto_o they_o and_o own_v they_o for_o his_o people_n and_o by_o consequence_n the_o justness_n and_o reasonableness_n of_o their_o total_a rejection_n by_o god_n notwithstanding_o their_o natural_a descent_n from_o abraham_n in_o case_n of_o a_o absolute_a and_o total_a apostasy_n from_o he_o so_o that_o will_v but_o the_o jew_n have_v act_v according_a to_o the_o principle_n of_o reason_n which_o nature_n have_v furnish_v they_o withal_o and_o will_v they_o but_o have_v attend_v to_o the_o light_n of_o their_o own_o conscience_n this_o error_n will_v have_v be_v nip_v in_o the_o very_a first_o bud_v of_o it_o forth_o but_o notwithstanding_o all_o the_o prophet_n can_v say_v yet_o they_o hold_v it_o fast_o hence_o 2._o no_o soon_o do_v john_n baptist_n enter_v upon_o his_o ministry_n but_o he_o find_v it_o necessary_a again_o to_o endeavour_v their_o conviction_n of_o the_o same_o error_n and_o both_o john_n baptist_n our_o lord_n christ_n and_o the_o apostle_n paul_n arise_v high_o and_o endeavour_v to_o convince_v they_o of_o the_o unreasonableness_n of_o their_o expect_v that_o god_n shall_v continue_v to_o be_v their_o god_n and_o to_o own_v they_o as_o

by_o their_o reject_v of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o as_o for_o john_n baptist_n as_o he_o only_o implicitly_a assert_n that_o in_o case_n of_o their_o rejection_n of_o jesus_n christ_n the_o true_a messiah_n then_o ready_a to_o be_v reveal_v and_o continue_v in_o their_o impenitency_n god_n will_v cast_v they_o off_o from_o be_v his_o people_n yea_o will_v consume_v they_o with_o the_o fire_n of_o his_o judgement_n and_o at_o last_o cast_v they_o into_o everlasting_a burn_n and_o answer_v a_o objection_n he_o foresee_v they_o will_v make_v against_o god_n so_o deal_v with_o they_o thus_o mat._n 3.9_o 10._o think_v not_o to_o say_v say_v john_n baptist_n within_o yourselves_o we_o have_v abraham_n to_o be_v our_o father_n etc._n etc._n as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v your_o natural_a relation_n unto_o abraham_n as_o his_o seed_n will_v not_o avail_v in_o case_n of_o your_o unbelief_n and_o impenitency_n notwithstanding_o that_o relation_n you_o may_v yea_o continue_v in_o your_o impenitency_n you_o will_v be_v reject_v of_o god_n and_o consume_v by_o his_o wrath._n now_o the_o objection_n that_o john_n foresee_v they_o will_v make_v be_v this_o viz._n that_o in_o case_n any_o be_v reject_v than_o the_o promise_v make_v to_o abraham_n will_v fail_v god_n have_v promise_v to_o be_v a_o god_n to_o he_o and_o his_o seed_n in_o their_o generation_n and_o the_o covenant_n wherein_o this_o promise_n be_v contain_v be_v a_o everlasting_a covenant_n which_o suppose_v that_o abraham_n shall_v have_v a_o seed_n throughout_o all_o generation_n now_o they_o say_v within_o themselves_o in_o case_n we_o be_v cast_v off_o and_o thus_o deal_v withal_o where_o shall_v abraham_n have_v a_o seed_n and_o if_o his_o seed_n fail_v the_o promise_n must_v also_o necessarily-fail_a now_o to_o this_o john_n answer_v that_o god_n be_v able_a of_o those_o very_a stone_n to_o raise_v up_o a_o seed_n unto_o abraham_n abraham_n shall_v have_v a_o seed_n to_o who_o the_o promise_n shall_v be_v make_v good_a though_o themselves_o be_v reject_v and_o destroy_v but_o notwithstanding_o what_o john_n can_v say_v yet_o they_o still_o hold_v fast_o their_o deceit_n hence_o 3._o our_o lord_n christ_n himself_o further_o pursue_v this_o design_n of_o their_o conviction_n now_o our_o lord_n christ_n speak_v more_o home_n and_o full_a to_o their_o conviction_n and_o he_o not_o only_o imply_v their_o rejection_n by_o god_n so_o as_o no_o long_a to_o be_v account_v either_o his_o servant_n or_o child_n but_o prove_v the_o dueness_n and_o justness_n of_o that_o their_o rejection_n and_o that_o by_o a_o double_a argument_n the_o 1._o be_v take_v from_o the_o state_n they_o have_v put_v themselves_o into_o viz._n a_o state_n of_o servitude_n they_o be_v but_o servant_n to_o another_o master_n viz._n sin_n so_o he_o tell_v they_o john_n 8.34_o that_o whosoever_o commit_v sin_n be_v a_o servant_n of_o sin_n and_o then_o tell_v they_o in_o v._o 35._o the_o servant_n abide_v not_o in_o the_o house_n for_o ever_o but_o the_o son_n abide_v for_o ever_o that_o be_v only_o proper_a to_o the_o son_n plain_o imply_v that_o they_o however_o natural_o descend_v from_o abraham_n yet_o be_v now_o become_v the_o servant_n of_o sin_n shall_v as_o just_o they_o may_v be_v reject_v or_o cast_v out_o of_o the_o house_n that_o be_v the_o church_n of_o god_n and_o consequent_o be_v reject_v of_o he_o from_o be_v his_o people_n they_o have_v cast_v off_o god_n from_o be_v their_o master_n and_o subject_v themselves_o unto_o another_o master_n it_o be_v but_o just_a and_o equal_a that_o god_n shall_v as_o now_o he_o will_v cast_v they_o out_o of_o his_o house_n and_o consequent_o from_o be_v his_o servant_n or_o people_n 2._o he_o argue_v it_o from_o the_o relation_n they_o put_v themselves_o into_o to_o the_o devil_n by_o do_v his_o work_n and_o hereby_o have_v cut_v off_o their_o spiritual_a relation_n unto_o abraham_n as_o his_o seed_n according_a to_o the_o true_a import_n and_o intendment_n of_o that_o term_n seed_n in_o the_o covenant_n hence_o he_o tell_v they_o ver_fw-la 39_o that_o if_o they_o be_v abraham_n seed_n that_o be_v his_o spiritual_a seed_n they_o will_v do_v the_o work_n of_o abraham_n but_o that_o they_o not_o do_v they_o cease_v to_o be_v his_o seed_n or_o child_n thus_o our_o lord_n christ_n tell_v they_o ver_fw-la 44._o you_o be_v the_o child_n of_o the_o devil_n and_o how_o just_a and_o equal_a be_v it_o that_o they_o have_v cut_v off_o their_o relation_n to_o abraham_n as_o his_o seed_n and_o become_v the_o child_n of_o the_o devil_n they_o shall_v be_v cast_v off_o by_o god_n from_o be_v any_o long_o his_o people_n so_o that_o our_o lord_n christ_n evince_n according_a to_o the_o principle_n of_o reason_n the_o justness_n of_o their_o rejection_n from_o be_v the_o people_n servants_z or_o child_n of_o god_n notwithstanding_o the_o continuance_n of_o their_o natural_a relation_n to_o abraham_n but_o yet_o they_o hold_v fast_o their_o former_a deceit_n hence_o last_o the_o apostle_n paul_n further_a endeavour_v their_o conviction_n and_o he_o do_v it_o by_o implicit_o assert_v not_o only_o a_o possibility_n that_o they_o may_v be_v but_o that_o de_fw-la facto_fw-la some_o yea_o many_o of_o they_o be_v actual_o reject_v of_o god_n from_o be_v his_o people_n and_o by_o vindicate_v the_o faithfulness_n of_o god_n in_o his_o covenant_n and_o promise_n notwithstanding_o that_o their_o rejection_n he_o vindicate_v the_o faithfulness_n of_o god_n by_o distinguish_v of_o abraham_n seed_n and_o show_v they_o be_v either_o natural_a or_o spiritual_a now_o he_o show_v that_o all_o though_o some_o of_o abraham_n natural_a seed_n viz._n those_o that_o descend_v immediate_o from_o his_o loin_n and_o that_o in_o their_o pure_a infant_n state_n be_v under_o the_o covenant_n and_o promise_v of_o it_o as_o his_o seed_n yet_o neither_o they_o when_o grow_v up_o nor_o any_o other_o in_o after-age_n can_v either_o for_o themselves_o or_o they_o lay_v any_o just_a claim_n thereunto_o mere_o on_o the_o account_n of_o their_o natural_a descent_n from_o abraham_n without_o a_o personal_a acceptation_n of_o the_o covenant_n and_o perform_v the_o condition_n of_o it_o and_o thereby_o become_v his_o spiritual_a seed_n and_o hence_o he_o infer_v that_o god_n may_v be_v and_o be_v faithful_a to_o his_o covenant_n and_o promise_n though_o they_o be_v reject_v by_o he_o and_o yet_o there_o be_v one_o thing_n more_o in_o respect_n of_o those_o that_o have_v survive_v their_o dispersion_n by_o the_o roman_n and_o that_o be_v god_n actual_a rejection_n of_o they_o his_o actual_a rejection_n of_o they_o be_v a_o undeniable_a evidence_n of_o the_o falsity_n of_o that_o notion_n which_o they_o have_v entertain_v and_o embrace_v but_o yet_o notwithstanding_o all_o they_o still_o hold_v fast_o that_o their_o deceit_n and_o will_v needs_o suppose_v themselves_o the_o only_a people_n of_o god_n to_o this_o very_a day_n now_o from_o the_o whole_a of_o what_o have_v be_v say_v we_o may_v see_v how_o strange_o tenacious_a the_o jew_n have_v be_v and_o still_o be_v of_o this_o
