heathen_n as_o to_o my_o certain_a knowledge_n it_o be_v among_o the_o american_n heathen_n who_o in_o all_o their_o covenant_n make_v use_v of_o sign_n for_o the_o great_a security_n and_o confirmation_n thus_o in_o the_o 50th_o psalm_n it_o be_v say_v gather_v my_o saint_n together_o who_o have_v make_v a_o covenant_n with_o i_o by_o sacrifice_n v_o 5._o and_o if_o any_o shall_v be_v so_o stiff_a and_o pertinacious_a as_o to_o deny_v that_o outward_a sign_n be_v necessary_a to_o the_o confirmation_n of_o covenant_n universal_o yet_o the_o case_n be_v plain_a here_o as_o to_o the_o supper_n for_o christ_n himself_o have_v say_v it_o this_o cup_n be_v the_o new_a testament_n in_o my_o blood_n etc._n etc._n which_o must_v have_v this_o meaning_n that_o the_o cup_n be_v christ_n testament_n as_o circumcision_n be_v god_n covenant_n with_o abraham_n and_o his_o seed_n for_o so_o it_o be_v call_v in_o scripture_n that_o be_v to_o say_v the_o cup_n be_v a_o sign_n of_o christ_n testament_n and_o of_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n that_o god_n have_v make_v with_o believer_n through_o christ_n the_o mediator_n of_o it_o but_o if_o any_o object_n this_o will_v seem_v to_o make_v the_o outward_a baptism_n and_o supper_n of_o so_o great_a necessity_n as_o that_o it_o can_v be_v say_v that_o the_o covenant_n be_v due_o confirm_v without_o they_o betwixt_o god_n and_o believer_n ans_fw-fr it_o show_v indeed_o a_o great_a necessity_n of_o they_o as_o in_o respect_n of_o any_o people_n be_v in_o covenant_n with_o god_n in_o a_o visible_a way_n of_o a_o church_n and_o as_o member_n of_o a_o visible_a church_n or_o society_n well_o and_o due_o constitute_v for_o all_o the_o member_n of_o a_o visible_a church_n as_o they_o be_v in_o covenant_n with_o god_n inward_o by_o the_o faith_n and_o obedience_n of_o their_o heart_n so_o they_o be_v in_o covenant_n with_o he_o outward_o by_o the_o confession_n of_o their_o mouth_n and_o other_o external_n act_n of_o religion_n whereby_o they_o declare_v their_o profess_a subjection_n to_o he_o and_o to_o his_o law_n hence_o we_o find_v in_o scripture_n that_o not_o only_a faith_n be_v require_v in_o order_n to_o salvation_n but_o confession_n also_o and_o that_o confession_n be_v not_o only_o with_o the_o mouth_n but_o by_o external_n work_v of_o the_o body_n proceed_v from_o a_o live_a principle_n of_o faith_n in_o the_o heart_n among_o which_o work_n be_v the_o external_n practice_n of_o outward_a baptism_n and_o the_o supper_n where_o they_o can_v be_v due_o have_v whereby_o they_o declare_v their_o subjection_n to_o the_o positive_a law_n and_o institution_n of_o christ_n and_o thereby_o distinguish_v themselves_o from_o either_o jew_n or_o pagan_n who_o may_v be_v moral_a man_n and_o profess_v faith_n and_o religion_n towards_o god_n as_o a_o creator_n and_o yet_o be_v profess_v enemy_n to_o the_o christian_a faith_n such_o as_o many_o jew_n and_o heathen_n be_v in_o the_o

they_o do_v make_v the_o distinction_n betwixt_o true_a christian_n and_o jew_n and_o heathen_n much_o more_o apparent_a for_o if_o these_o external_n practice_n institute_v by_o christ_n be_v lay_v

even_o as_o under_o the_o law_n the_o receive_n of_o circumcision_n be_v the_o sign_n or_o badge_n of_o

so_o long_o shall_v these_o external_a practice_n remain_v and_o see_v christ_n enjoin_v this_o of_o break_a bread_n to_o remain_v to_o his_o come_n it_o be_v evident_a that_o it_o be_v his_o last_o
