with_o christ_n and_o in_o he_o to_o his_o leede_n through_o he_o with_o those_o who_o come_v out_o of_o he_o so_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n be_v make_v with_o christ_n therefore_o call_v the_o second_o adam_n &_o in_o &_o through_o he_o with_o all_o that_o come_v out_o of_o he_o &_o by_o faith_n be_v bear_v of_o he_o and_o it_o be_v more_o necessary_a to_o be_v first_o make_v one_o with_o

of_o grace_n be_v more_o confine_v first_o to_o christ_n person_n &_o that_o without_o the_o person_n of_o the_o elect_a then_o the_o covenant_n of_o work_n be_v to_o adam_n person_n without_o

therefore_o much_o more_o must_v it_o be_v that_o we_o must_v first_o lie_v hold_v on_o christ_n person_n before_o we_o can_v on_o any_o promise_n then_o we_o need_v be_v bear_v of_o adam_n before_o we_o can_v have_v title_n to_o any_o of_o his_o estate_n so_o that_o it_o be_v a_o dangerous_a error_n not_o to_o pitch_v by_o faith_n on_o christ_n first_o and_o then_o in_o the_o second_o place_n on_o the_o promise_n christ_n in_o his_o promise_n pitch_n faith_n on_o christ_n first_o then_o on_o the_o promise_n person_n nature_n work_n merit_n must_v be_v first_o lay_v hold_v on_o indeed_o it_o be_v true_a that_o faith_n can_v lay_v hold_n on_o christ_n but_o in_o and_o through_o a_o word_n &_o promise_n therefore_o my_o meaning_n be_v not_o to_o carry_v you_o to_o christ_n without_o or_o not_o by_o the_o word_n &_o promise_n for_o without_o this_o you_o never_o can_v come_v to_o he_o but_o meet_v with_o satan_n as_o a_o angel_n of_o light_n you_o must_v first_o close_v by_o
