covenant_n with_o abraham_n and_o under_o the_o seal_n of_o it_o i_o have_v also_o give_v you_o plain_a declaration_n from_o the_o new_a testament_n that_o child_n be_v to_o come_v into_o covenant_n

and_o their_o seed_n upon_o which_o the_o church_n be_v found_v and_o constitute_v or_o do_v you_o mean_v that_o god_n destroy_v the_o nation_n and_o individual_a church_n of_o the_o jew_n and_o

necessary_a that_o god_n shall_v do_v so_o or_o else_o we_o can_v not_o have_v know_v the_o mind_n of_o god_n in_o these_o matter_n but_o now_o tell_v i_o be_v not_o the_o privilege_n of_o child_n

that_o be_v before_o confirm_v of_o god_n in_o christ_n the_o law_n which_o be_v 430_o year_n after_o can_v disannul_v that_o it_o shall_v make_v the_o promise_n of_o none_o effect_v i_o say_v the_o apostle_n here_o do_v express_o affirm_v that_o god_n covenant_n of_o grace_n particular_o that_o make_v to_o abraham_n as_o a_o covenant_n or_o testament_n be_v as_o to_o all_o essential's_n unalterable_a and_o that_o the_o law_n which_o be_v 430_o year_n after_o can_v not_o disannul_v it_o and_o by_o the_o same_o reason_n the_o new_a testament_n can_v not_o disannul_v the_o covenant_n to_o abraham_n neither_o as_o to_o promise_v nor_o privilege_n i_o need_v not_o repeat_v what_o i_o have_v already_o prove_v that_o the_o new_a testament_n be_v not_o the_o take_n down_o one_o house_n and_o set_v up_o another_o but_o build_v upon_o the_o old_a foundation_n and_o plant_v the_o gentile_n where_o the_o jew_n be_v break_v off_o the_o olive_n tree_n be_v the_o same_o and_o the_o seed_n

abraham_n and_o we_o have_v be_v justify_v after_o the_o same_o manner_n which_o the_o apostle_n affirm_v gal._n 4.3_o upon_o the_o supposition_n that_o the_o church-state_n of_o both_o be_v the_o same_o else_o it_o may_v have_v be_v answer_v that_o they_o may_v have_v be_v justify_v one_o way_n and_o we_o another_o 5._o let_v it_o be_v observe_v that_o the_o new_a testament_n insist_o upon_o this_o principle_n frequent_o as_o a_o thing_n deny_v by_o none_o that_o abraham_n be_v the_o father_n of_o the_o faithful_a and_o that_o the_o gentile_n be_v child_n raise_v up_o to_o abraham_n that_o they_o be_v abraham_n seed_n and_o heir_n according_a to_o the_o promise_n that_o this_o blessing_n of_o abraham_n be_v come_v upon_o the_o gentile_n that_o though_o the_o natural_a seed_n of_o abraham_n be_v now_o reject_v upon_o unbelief_n yet_o the_o convert_v gentile_n be_v the_o spiritual_a seed_n and_o if_o this_o have_v not_o be_v intend_v by_o god_n when_o he_o give_v the_o promise_n the_o promise_n to_o abraham_n have_v be_v break_v upon_o the_o rejection_n of_o the_o jew_n this_o the_o apostle_n express_o argue_v rom._n 9.6_o not_o as_o though_o the_o word_n of_o god_n have_v take_v none_o effect_n for_o they_o be_v not_o all_o israel_n which_o be_v of_o israel_n antipaed_n the_o apostle_n there_o tell_v we_o that_o the_o child_n of_o the_o flesh_n be_v not_o the_o child_n of_o god_n and_o that_o all_o be_v not_o israel_n that_o be_v of_o israel_n neither_o be_v they_o the_o child_n of_o god_n because_o they_o be_v of_o the_o seed_n of_o abraham_n and_o therefore_o it_o will_v seem_v that_o there_o be_v no_o such_o privilege_n to_o infant_n by_o birth_n paed._n the_o apostle_n be_v there_o speak_v of_o the_o rejection_n of_o the_o jew_n for_o their_o unbelief_n and_o assert_n no_o more_o than_o this_o that_o in_o that_o case_n when_o they_o put_v themselves_o out_o of_o covenant_n it_o be_v no_o breach_n of_o promise_n in_o god_n to_o reject_v they_o though_o they_o be_v the_o natural_a seed_n of_o abraham_n but_o what_o be_v all_o this_o against_o the_o privilege_n of_o infant_n of_o believe_a parent_n the_o promise_n be_v still_o make_v to_o believer_n and_o their_o seed_n and_o in_o that_o sense_n the_o promise_n be_v make_v to_o abraham_n and_o his_o own_o immediate_a natural_a seed_n as_o the_o seed_n of_o a_o believer_n and_o so_o successive_o to_o that_o seed_n when_o grow_v up_o when_o they_o continue_v in_o the_o faith_n and_o to_o their_o infant_n seed_n and_o so_o on_o

to_o succeed_a generation_n now_o if_o any_o israelite_n forsake_v god_n he_o be_v not_o reckon_v to_o be_v in_o covenant_n because_o he_o be_v of_o abraham_n according_a to_o the_o flesh_n so_o that_o the_o natural_a seed_n of_o israelite_n believe_v and_o of_o believe_v gentile_n be_v the_o spiritual_a seed_n though_o still_o the_o infant_n be_v child_n by_o natural_a descent_n and_o by_o it_o have_v this_o privilege_n with_o their_o parent_n not_o because_o their_o parent_n be_v their_o father_n but_o because_o their_o father_n be_v believer_n but_o this_o have_v divert_v i_o i_o will_v return_v to_o what_o i_o have_v to_o say_v further_o 6._o that_o god_n be_v so_o far_o from_o take_v down_o the_o essential_a church-state_n of_o the_o jew_n that_o as_o i_o hint_v before_o he_o have_v take_v down_o the_o partition_n wall_n of_o ceremony_n and_o have_v make_v they_o one_o house_n of_o which_o the_o apostle_n and_o prophet_n be_v secondary_a foundation_n eph._n 2.14_o
