distrust_v the_o providence_n of_o god_n in_o preserve_v of_o they_o when_o he_o have_v by_o the_o same_o providence_n take_v you_o away_o from_o they_o but_o if_o you_o have_v a_o command_n for_o it_o it_o be_v lawful_a for_o you_o to_o do_v it_o if_o you_o have_v example_n from_o the_o apostle_n you_o have_v some_o ground_n for_o it_o church-m_a i_o wonder_v you_o shall_v be_v so_o ignorant_a a_o man_n so_o well_o verse_v in_o the_o scripture_n as_o you_o pretend_v to_o be_v that_o you_o shall_v not_o know_v that_o the_o apostle_n be_v in_o the_o first_o age_n of_o the_o church_n and_o that_o where_o ever_o they_o come_v it_o be_v their_o work_n to_o preach_v and_o convert_v and_o baptise_v such_o as_o they_o do_v bring_v into_o the_o church_n by_o their_o preach_v and_o this_o be_v the_o foundation_n of_o the_o church_n and_o adult_a person_n have_v no_o need_n of_o godfathers_n and_o godmothers_n and_o you_o know_v the_o apostle_n bid_v we_o watch_v over_o one_o another_o and_o

but_o it_o be_v to_o the_o congregat_v church_n that_o he_o have_v gather_v together_o that_o they_o shall_v not_o let_v any_o root_n of_o bitterness_n spring_v up_o among_o they_o and_o that_o they_o shall_v watch_v over_o one_o another_o church-m_a you_o speak_v you_o know_v not_o what_o if_o you_o oppose_v this_o for_o as_o the_o church_n be_v then_o make_v up_o of_o adult_a believer_n only_o so_o the_o apostle_n speak_v to_o the_o beleiver_n that_o shall_v not_o join_v with_o heathenism_n or_o jewdism_n say_v he_o the_o promise_n be_v to_o you_o and_o to_o your_o seed_n and_o if_o so_o be_v not_o the_o seed_n of_o believer_n in_o the_o pale_a of_o the_o church_n and_o consequen_o such_o as_o shall_v be_v watch_v over_o as_o well_o as_o grow_v person_n nay_o more_o for_o they_o be_v not_o of_o year_n of_o discretion_n to_o watch_v over_o themselves_o and_o so_o love_n and_o duty_n both_o oblige_v we_o to_o the_o great_a work_n i_o think_v this_o be_v a_o plain_a cmmand_n dissen_n i_o must_v confess_v you_o have_v give_v such_o a_o argument_n as_o i_o believe_v some_o thousand_o of_o your_o church_n can_v not_o have_v give_v and_o i_o will_v take_v some_o time_n to_o clear_v it_o and_o therefore_o i_o must_v beg_v your_o patience_n and_o to_o that_o end_n i_o shall_v clear_v these_o point_n in_o our_o particular_a discourse_n because_o we_o will_v not_o discourse_v of_o general_n and_o particular_a together_o church-m_a do_v you_o think_v to_o put_v i_o off_o and_o to_o baffle_v the_o discourse_n if_o we_o discourse_v we_o will_v have_v thing_n carry_v on_o as_o

if_o i_o be_v not_o in_o the_o right_n of_o it_o if_o it_o be_v not_o too_o much_o for_o you_o dissen_n well_o but_o i_o tell_v you_o there_o be_v some_o thing_n in_o our_o discourse_n that_o must_v be_v particular_a but_o i_o will_v answer_v you_o and_o your_o church_n in_o these_o thing_n in_o general_n because_o you_o desire_v it_o and_o first_o you_o say_v the_o church_n be_v make_v up_o of_o adult_a person_n which_o be_v true_a but_o what_o be_v the_o sign_n of_o their_o church-ship_n church-m_a why_o it_o be_v baptism_n they_o be_v baptise_a into_o the_o church_n and_o so_o become_v member_n of_o the_o church_n and_o the_o apostle_n tell_v they_o the_o promise_n be_v to_o you_o and_o your_o seed_n dissen_n well_o than_o you_o make_v a_o church_n by_o succession_n and_o so_o make_v it_o national_a but_o why_o do_v not_o you_o bring_v in_o the_o next_o word_n and_o as_o many_o as_o the_o lord_n your_o god_n shall_v call_v so_o that_o here_o must_v be_v a_o calling_n before_o a_o church-member_n and_o consequent_o before_o baptism_n for_o they_o be_v not_o to_o be_v church_v before_o baptise_a nor_o baptise_a before_o they_o believe_v and_o if_o so_o how_o be_v infant_n capable_a of_o be_v church_n member_n church-m_a it_o be_v true_a the_o word_n run_v so_o but_o yet_o it_o do_v not_o exclude_v believer_n child_n and_o the_o apostle_n say_v the_o other_o to_o comfort_v they_o that_o they_o shall_v not_o be_v all_o but_o that_o god_n will_v plant_v and_o call_v more_o church_n to_o believe_v in_o he_o and_o so_o the_o number_n shall_v be_v increase_v and_o further_o it_o be_v to_o comfort_v the_o suce_fw-la eding_fw-mi church_n that_o it_o shall_v be_v viz._n the_o promise_n to_o they_o and_o their_o seed_n as_o well_o as_o to_o the_o then_o present_a believer_n and_o their_o seed_n so_o that_o i_o think_v there_o need_v no_o further_o clear_v of_o this_o point_n that_o child_n be_v church-member_n dissen_n yes_o there_o want_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o clear_v for_o you_o say_v the_o promise_n be_v to_o a_o church-member_n seed_n pray_v let_v i_o ask_v you_o how_o do_v god_n make_v his_o covenant_n with_o abraham_n when_o god_n say_v unto_o he_o i_o will_v make_v my_o covenant_n with_o thou_o and_o with_o thy_o seed_n and_o thy_o seed_n seed_n and_o i_o will_v multiply_v it_o as_o the_o star_n of_o heaven_n church-m_a well_o here_o you_o comply_v with_o i_o that_o the_o covenant_n be_v to_o seed_n seed_n and_o if_o so_o in_o the_o law_n why_o not_o in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o gospel_n dissen_n well_o i_o ask_v you_o how_o this_o covenant_n run_v you_o know_v that_o god_n say_v to_o abraham_n but_o though_o thy_o seed_n be_v as_o the_o star_n of_o heaven_n yet_o in_o isaac_n shall_v it_o be_v bless_v be_v not_o ishmael_n the_o son_n of_o abraham_n and_o do_v not_o he_o pray_v for_o ishmael_n well_o say_v the_o lord_n i_o have_v hear_v thou_o for_o ishmael_n i_o will_v make_v he_o a_o great_a nation_n but_o nevertheless_o my_o covenant_n will_v i_o establish_v with_o isaac_n and_o in_o isaac_n shall_v thy_o seed_n be_v bless_v so_o that_o we_o see_v out_o of_o believe_a abraham_n there_o come_v a_o seed_n that_o be_v out_o of_o the_o covenant_n as_o well_o as_o a_o seed_n in_o covenant_n and_o when_o rebeccah_n have_v conceive_v by_o one_o mark_v here_o can_v be_v no_o objection_n that_o these_o be_v two_o seed_n in_o her_o womb_n but_o by_o one_o and_o that_o by_o one_o of_o the_o promise_a seed_n our_o father_n isaac_n nay_o and_o the_o child_n have_v not_o do_v good_a or_o evil_a it_o be_v

chapter_n of_o roman_n now_o will_v you_o allow_v isaac_n to_o be_v a_o type_n of_o christ_n or_o not_o church-m_a yes_o certain_o isaac_n be_v a_o type_n of_o christ_n and_o the_o covenant_n that_o be_v make_v with_o isaac_n and_o his_o seed_n be_v a_o type_n of_o the_o covenant_n make_v with_o believer_n and_o their_o seed_n in_o christ_n dissen_n well_o then_o as_o the_o covenant_n be_v establish_v with_o abraham_n child_n in_o isaac_n his_o son_n so_o the_o covenant_n that_o god_n make_v with_o believer_n and_o their_o seed_n be_v in_o christ_n his_o son_n now_o they_o that_o be_v
