so_o be_v this_o be_v the_o bottom_n of_o the_o distinction_n that_o the_o old_a covenant_n relate_v to_o old_a testament_n time_n and_o the_o new_a to_o new_a testament_n for_o hagar_n and_o sarah_n do_v both_o exist_v in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n and_o though_o they_o be_v contrary_a to_o each_o other_o yet_o they_o both_o continue_v together_o in_o abraham_n family_n from_o

position_n from_o such_o charge_n as_o may_v otherwise_o be_v bring_v against_o it_o and_o do_v also_o help_v we_o to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o some_o very_a useful_a truth_n for_o note_n hence_o 1_o that_o saint_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n be_v not_o save_v one_o way_n we_o another_o they_o by_o the_o old_a covenant_n we_o by_o the_o new_a for_o they_o have_v sarah_n the_o new_a covenant_n with_o they_o as_o well_o as_o we_o have_v and_o all_o the_o claim_n they_o have_v or_o lay_v to_o the_o heavenly_a inheritance_n be_v by_o virtue_n of_o sarahs_n right_a not_o hagar_n 2_o that_o saint_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n as_o they_o be_v save_v in_o the_o same_o way_n with_o we_o so_o also_o have_v they_o the_o same_o communion_n with_o god_n and_o blessing_n that_o we_o enjoy_v for_o they_o have_v sarah_n with_o they_o therefore_o the_o blessing_n of_o sarah_n and_o communion_n with_o god_n by_o sarah_n be_v their_o portion_n then_o as_o well_o as_o we_o now_o only_o with_o this_o difference_n because_o sarah_n the_o new_a covenant_n all_o that_o time_n though_o she_o have_v the_o promise_n of_o fruitfulness_n have_v not_o bring_v forth_o as_o now_o she_o have_v therefore_o their_o communion_n with_o god_n chief_o lie_v in_o hope_n of_o a_o seed_n to_o come_v we_o in_o faith_n of_o a_o seed_n come_v they_o live_v in_o continual_a expectation_n of_o a_o

exhibit_v 3_o that_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n furnish_v we_o with_o new_a covenant_n truth_n and_o new_a covenant_n principle_n as_o well_o as_o the_o new_a because_o sarah_n exist_v all_o that_o time_n as_o well_o as_o hagar_n sarah_n give_v command_n make_v promise_n pronounce_v threat_n as_o well_o as_o hagar_n hence_o the_o matter_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n be_v not_o whole_o legal_a but_o it_o contain_v in_o it_o pure_a gospel_n matter_n as_o well_o as_o the_o new_a as_o that_o doctrine_n which_o be_v no_o other_o but_o a_o mere_a voice_n of_o word_n or_o the_o sound_n of_o a_o conditional_a covenant_n whether_o you_o find_v it_o
