you_o will_v then_o have_v see_v that_o it_o speak_v of_o peculiar_a privilege_n of_o the_o jew_n to_o who_o the_o adoption_n covenant_n that_o be_v as_o beza_n think_v the_o table_n of_o the_o

want_n of_o some_o privilege_n they_o have_v may_v be_v recompense_v by_o some_o other_o privilege_n we_o have_v and_o therefore_o you_o may_v see_v how_o feeble_a a_o reason_n this_o be_v from_o the_o jewish_a privilege_n of_o infant-males_a circumcision_n to_o prove_v infant-baptisme_n but_o to_o follow_v you_o in_o your_o way_n you_o say_v we_o as_o well_o as_o they_o enjoy_v he_o to_o be_v our_o father_n and_o with_o his_o dear_a son_n our_o lord_n be_v make_v coheir_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o glory_n all_o this_o be_v grant_v but_o to_o what_o purpose_v it_o be_v produce_v i_o see_v not_o you_o add_v we_o have_v all_o these_o thing_n with_o advantage_n not_o only_o in_o the_o clearness_n of_o the_o administration_n but_o in_o some_o sense_n in_o great_a extent_n to_o person_n with_o we_o there_o be_v neither_o male_a nor_o female_a this_o be_v true_a also_o we_o have_v the_o substance_n of_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n that_o be_v justification_n etc._n etc._n with_o advantage_n not_o only_o in_o the_o clearness_n of_o administration_n but_o in_o some_o sense_n in_o great_a extent_n to_o person_n with_o we_o for_o now_o not_o only_o the_o small_a nation_n of_o the_o jew_n but_o also_o of_o all_o nation_n believer_n be_v bring_v into_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n but_o this_o prove_v not_o your_o conclusion_n or_o any_o of_o those_o thing_n that_o may_v serve_v for_o your_o purpose_n you_o add_v and_o there_o be_v neither_o male_a nor_o female_a why_o you_o add_v this_o i_o know_v not_o except_o you_o mean_v to_o insinuate_v that_o in_o the_o jewish_a church_n there_o be_v male_a and_o female_a because_o circumcision_n be_v only_o of_o male_n but_o neither_o do_v the_o apostle_n gal._n 3.28_o intimate_v that_o we_o be_v better_a than_o the_o jew_n as_o if_o their_o female_n be_v not_o within_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n nor_o will_v you_o say_v it_o now_o that_o which_o you_o be_v speak_v of_o be_v the_o substance_n of_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n that_o we_o be_v make_v coheir_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o glory_n etc._n etc._n not_o of_o the_o administration_n of_o it_o and_o so_o there_o be_v no_o more_o distinction_n of_o male_a and_o female_a with_o the_o jew_n then_o with_o we_o nor_o more_o privilege_n of_o we_o then_o of_o the_o jew_n in_o this_o particular_a thus_o have_v i_o examine_v all_o the_o proof_n you_o bring_v for_o your_o five_o conclusion_n and_o thereby_o you_o may_v perceive_v how_o you_o have_v heap_v together_o many_o place_n of_o scripture_n without_o any_o useful_a order_n or_o distinction_n or_o pertinency_n to_o the_o thing_n in_o hand_n you_o bring_v in_o next_o a_o objection_n thus_o some_o indeed_o go_v about_o to_o show_v that_o in_o some_o thing_n the_o jew_n have_v great_a privilege_n than_o we_o have_v as_o that_o abraham_n have_v the_o privilege_n to_o be_v call_v the_o father_n of_o the_o faithful_a that_o christ_n shall_v be_v bear_v of_o his_o flesh_n mary_n have_v the_o privilege_n to_o be_v the_o mother_n of_o christ_n and_o the_o whole_a nation_n this_o privilege_n that_o god_n will_v call_v in_o their_o seed_n again_o after_o they_o have_v be_v cast_v off_o for_o unbelief_n many_o hundred_o year_n which_o privilege_n say_v they_o none_o of_o the_o gentile_n have_v or_o can_v have_v it_o be_v true_a that_o in_o answer_n to_o the_o argument_n from_o circumcision_n as_o it_o be_v popular_o frame_v which_o yet_o i_o perceive_v many_o that_o either_o be_v or_o shall_v be_v scholar_n to_o examine_v thing_n more_o scholastical_o do_v or_o pretend_v to_o satisfy_v their_o conscience_n with_o thus_o if_o the_o child_n of_o believer_n be_v not_o to_o be_v baptize_v than_o we_o have_v less_o privilege_n than_o the_o jew_n then_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n under_o the_o new_a testament_n be_v straighten_a more_o than_o in_o the_o old_a to_o this_o argument_n as_o be_v a_o argument_n of_o no_o weight_n but_o only_o among_o vulgar_a and_o non-syllogizing_a capacity_n among_o other_o thing_n i_o say_v thus_o in_o my_o latin_a paper_n above_o mention_v nec_fw-la absurdum_fw-la est_fw-la dicere_fw-la respectu_fw-la aliquorum_fw-la privilegiorum_fw-la gratiam_fw-la dei_fw-la contractiorem_fw-la in_o novo_fw-la testamento_fw-la quam_fw-la in_o veteri_fw-la v_o gr_n nulla_fw-la familia_fw-la habet_fw-la privilegium_fw-la quod_fw-la abrahami_n familiae_fw-la concessum_fw-la est_fw-la ut_fw-la ex_fw-la ea_fw-la nasceretur_fw-la christus_fw-la nullus_fw-la vir_fw-la praeter_fw-la abrahamum_fw-la pater_fw-la fidelium_fw-la nulla_fw-la faemina_fw-la praeter_fw-la unicam_fw-la mater_fw-la christi_fw-la etc._n etc._n yet_o it_o be_v not_o absurd_a to_o say_v that_o in_o respect_n of_o some_o privilege_n the_o grace_n of_o god_n be_v more_o contract_v in_o the_o new_a testament_n then_o in_o the_o old_a for_o instance_n no_o family_n have_v now_o the_o privilege_n that_o be_v grant_v to_o abraham_n family_n that_o out_o of_o it_o christ_n shall_v be_v bear_v no_o man_n beside_o abraham_n be_v call_v the_o father_n of_o the_o faithful_a no_o woman_n beside_o one_o the_o mother_n of_o christ._n by_o which_o i_o will_v show_v that_o it_o be_v no_o absurdity_n to_o grant_v that_o the_o jew_n may_v have_v more_o privilege_n secundum_fw-la quid_fw-la in_o some_o thing_n than_o we_o and_o yet_o our_o case_n and_o condition_n to_o speak_v simple_o better_a than_o they_o by_o reason_n of_o other_o privilege_n we_o have_v above_o they_o which_o recompense_n the_o defect_n of_o those_o privilege_n whether_o real_a or_o suppose_a which_o be_v the_o very_a same_o which_o as_o robinson_n do_v allege_v so_o rutherford_n grant_v in_o the_o place_n abovenamed_a and_o cite_v two_o
