within_o abraham_n covenant_n for_o we_o can_v imagine_v that_o all_o the_o apostle_n baptize_v be_v real_o call_v for_o the_o sorcerer_n before_o mention_v do_v sufficient_o confute_v it_o therefore_o still_o he_o mistake_v the_o question_n which_o be_v thus_o whether_o all_o that_o be_v call_v be_v real_o justify_v 2_o neither_o can_v it_o be_v reasonable_o think_v that_o there_o be_v no_o hypocrite_n among_o those_o three_o thousand_o mention_v and_o that_o they_o be_v all_o so_o call_v as_o he_o speak_v of_o but_o the_o apostle_n intention_n be_v to_o let_v they_o know_v by_o what_o way_n they_o may_v get_v in_o to_o abraham_n covenant_n again_o from_o which_o both_o they_o and_o their_o seed_n be_v cut_v off_o therefore_o repent_v and_o be_v baptize_v for_o the_o

tender_a of_o abraham_n covenant_n in_o all_o the_o blessing_n of_o it_o even_o to_o child_n of_o visible_a believer_n either_o jew_n or_o gentile_n therefore_o the_o seal_n of_o that_o covenant_n

people_n may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v holy_a by_o separation_n as_o the_o carnal_a jew_n be_v separate_v from_o the_o world_n and_o thus_o the_o vessel_n of_o the_o temple_n be_v holy_a and_o the_o priest_n be_v holy_a 2_o second_o a_o new-covenant_n holiness_n when_o god_n write_v his_o law_n in_o the_o heart_n and_o sanctify_v their_o nature_n and_o there_o be_v no_o other_o kind_n of_o

before_z the_o gospel-administration_n must_v be_v a_o new_a covenant_n of_o work_n and_o so_o what_o m._n p._n do_v though_o only_o a_o pretender_n to_o gospel-rule_a in_o wade_v into_o mill-pool_n

of_o abraham_n family_n and_o not_o lot_n or_o any_o of_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o godly_a family_n in_o the_o world_n it_o be_v not_o because_o abraham_n be_v any_o more_o a_o believer_n or_o his_o family_n for_o then_o lot_n and_o his_o family_n and_o the_o rest_n have_v be_v take_v into_o the_o covenant_n of_o circumcision_n because_o they_o do_v believe_v as_o well_o as_o abraham_n for_o this_o be_v a_o sure_a rule_n if_o god_n give_v a_o promise_n or_o command_v to_o a_o person_n as_o a_o believer_n than_o whosoever_o believe_v that_o command_n and_o promise_n belong_v to_o they_o and_o for_o this_o he_o bring_v the_o example_n of_o joshua_n i_o will_v not_o leave_v thou_o which_o the_o apostle_n apply_v to_o the_o church_n heb._n 13.5_o now_o the_o covenant_n make_v with_o

from_o whence_o they_o may_v expect_v the_o messiah_n then_o circumcision_n may_v as_o well_o have_v be_v give_v to_o seth_n enos_n or_o shem_n etc._n etc._n and_o so_o have_v distinguish_v the_o whole_a race_n yea_o god_n must_v afterward_o have_v give_v some_o distinct_a sign_n to_o judah_n because_o all_o jacob_n twelve_o son_n be_v circumcise_v so_o that_o the_o world_n will_v be_v at_o as_o great_a a_o loss_n to_o know_v in_o which_o of_o all_o these_o twelve_o the_o line_n be_v to_o run_v therefore_o if_o we_o do_v but_o look_v into_o the_o ground_n of_o the_o promise_n we_o shall_v find_v there_o be_v many_o other_o main_a and_o choice_a end_n as_o namely_o by_o the_o multiply_a of_o believer_n as_o the_o star_n of_o heaven_n who_o also_o be_v call_v the_o seed_n they_o may_v thereby_o become_v blessing_n to_o family_n and_o nation_n for_o as_o jesus_n christ_n be_v the_o great_a blessing_n so_o every_o believer_n be_v also_o to_o be_v a_o little_a blessing_n according_a to_o the_o promise_n i_o will_v bless_v thou_o and_o thou_o shall_v be_v a_o blessing_n and_o by_o this_o mean_v god_n make_v use_v of_o believer_n to_o be_v as_o his_o leaven_n to_o leaven_n the_o whole_a lump_n so_o that_o in_o this_o way_n christ_n kingdom_n shall_v at_o last_o spread_v through_o the_o earth_n 2_o to_o make_v abraham_n a_o public_a father_n to_o the_o believe_a

neither_o do_v the_o end_n of_o god_n in_o give_v one_o believer_n a_o promise_n reach_v to_o the_o same_o end_n in_o all_o believer_n unless_o so_o circumstantiate_v as_o for_o instance_n god_n

not_o intend_v to_o make_v any_o more_o public_a father_n be_v then_o one_o the_o like_a we_o may_v say_v of_o that_o instance_n he_o give_v of_o joshua_n the_o command_n and_o promise_v give_v to_o
