the_o saviour_n of_o the_o body_n and_o that_o he_o have_v redeem_v his_o church_n with_o his_o own_o blood_n which_o confine_v the_o effect_n and_o application_n of_o his_o grace_n and_o merit_n and_o satisfaction_n to_o his_o own_o body_n which_o be_v the_o church_n but_o beside_o this_o we_o may_v consider_v that_o the_o jewish_a church_n be_v typical_a of_o the_o christian_a church_n nay_o indeed_o that_o it_o be_v the_o same_o church_n still_o only_o enlarge_v and_o chrystianize_v for_o the_o christian_a church_n be_v build_v upon_o the_o foundation_n not_o only_o of_o the_o apostle_n but_o prophet_n and_o jew_n and_o gentile_n be_v unite_v into_o one_o church_n by_o break_v down_o the_o middle_a wall_n of_o partition_n and_o engraft_v the_o gentile_n upon_o the_o same_o root_n and_o stock_n with_o they_o as_o i_o discourse_v at_o large_a in_o the_o defence_n of_o dr._n stillingfleet_n now_o we_o know_v the_o mosaic_a covenant_n be_v make_v with_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n as_o a_o nation_n who_o god_n have_v choose_v for_o himself_o of_o the_o seed_n and_o posterity_n of_o abraham_n natural_a jew_n have_v no_o title_n to_o this_o covenant_n till_o they_o be_v circumcise_v and_o incorporate_v into_o the_o body_n of_o israel_n consider_v as_o in_o covenant_n with_o god_n of_o which_o circumcision_n be_v the_o sign_n and_o seal_n and_o no_o stranger_n be_v admit_v to_o these_o privilege_n of_o the_o covenant_n till_o they_o be_v engraft_v into_o the_o body_n of_o israel_n by_o circumcision_n and_o become_v one_o people_n with_o they_o so_o that_o the_o mosaic_a covenant_n which_o be_v but_o the_o christian_a covenant_n in_o type_n and_o figure_n be_v confine_v to_o a_o particular_a nation_n or_o body_n of_o man_n and_o to_o all_o those_o who_o be_v incorporate_v into_o the_o same_o body_n with_o they_o now_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o the_o christian_a church_n be_v incorporate_v into_o the_o body_n of_o israel_n and_o therefore_o the_o apostle_n call_v the_o christian_n the_o true_a israel_n of_o god_n and_o all_o the_o name_n of_o israel_n be_v give_v to_o the_o christian_a church_n a_o choose_a generation_n a_o royal_a priesthood_n 2.9_o 1_o pet._n 2.9_o a_o holy_a nation_n a_o peculiar_a people_n so_o that_o the_o christian_a church_n be_v a_o nation_n and_o people_n peculiar_a to_o god_n and_o choose_v by_o he_o out_o of_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o world_n as_o the_o jew_n former_o be_v that_o be_v unite_v to_o god_n and_o to_o each_o other_o in_o the_o same_o covenant_n and_o therefore_o as_o the_o moysaicall_a covenant_n be_v confine_v to_o the_o body_n of_o israel_n that_o no_o stranger_n or_o alien_n have_v any_o right_n to_o it_o so_o be_v the_o gospel_n covenant_n confine_v to_o the_o communion_n of_o the_o christian_a

in_o such_o way_n as_o he_o have_v appoint_v for_o it_o will_v not_o suffice_v that_o we_o make_v christ_n our_o own_o by_o a_o fanciful_a application_n of_o his_o merit_n to_o ourselves_o which_o

very_a nature_n of_o the_o sacrament_n will_v easy_o satisfy_v we_o that_o it_o must_v be_v so_o baptism_n be_v the_o sacrament_n of_o pardon_n and_o forgiveness_n of_o our_o regeneration_n and_o
