in_o the_o general_n we_o may_v see_v how_o that_o all_o the_o promise_n of_o god_n whether_o those_o that_o be_v absolute_a or_o whether_o such_o as_o be_v conditional_a they_o do_v all_o run_v in_o

that_o it_o be_v so_o 2_o some_o reason_n why_o it_o be_v so_o 3_o shall_v apply_v it_o in_o order_n to_o the_o clear_n of_o the_o thing_n that_o it_o be_v so_o i_o shall_v premise_v this_o viz._n that_o those_o several_a promise_n of_o grace_n glory_n etc._n etc._n good_a thing_n here_o and_o hereafter_o which_o the_o father_n have_v make_v to_o christ_n they_o be_v not_o make_v to_o he_o for_o himself_o he_o in_o this_o respect_n have_v no_o need_n of_o they_o or_o that_o the_o father_n shall_v make_v promise_n of_o such_o thing_n to_o he_o he_o have_v a_o proper_a right_n in_o and_o unto_o all_o these_o thing_n by_o virtue_n of_o his_o co-equallity_n with_o the_o father_n yea_o enjoy_v and_o possess_v of_o they_o and_o therefore_o have_v no_o need_n in_o respect_n of_o himself_o that_o these_o thing_n shall_v be_v give_v to_o he_o by_o promise_n which_o be_v he_o by_o proper_a right_n but_o they_o be_v make_v to_o he_o respective_o as_o he_o be_v our_o surety_n and_o common_a person_n occupy_v our_o room_n and_o stand_v in_o our_o stead_n who_o of_o ourselves_o have_v no_o right_n to_o any_o of_o these_o thing_n no_o nor_o christ_n neither_o though_o he_o have_v a_o personal_a right_n as_o coeternal_a and_o coequal_a with_o the_o father_n yet_o as_o he_o stand_v for_o we_o and_o in_o our_o stead_n have_v no_o right_n but_o what_o he_o have_v by_o promise_n now_o then_o if_o this_o can_v be_v clear_v that_o all_o the_o promise_n of_o god_n be_v make_v to_o christ_n take_v this_o for_o grant_v which_o we_o have_v premise_v and_o which_o in_o itself_o be_v also_o clear_a that_o they_o be_v make_v to_o christ_n not_o for_o himself_o who_o have_v no_o need_n to_o have_v these_o thing_n give_v to_o he_o by_o promise_n but_o for_o we_o who_o surety_n he_o be_v and_o common_a person_n then_o will_v the_o result_v be_v clear_o and_o evident_o what_o we_o have_v lay_v down_o and_o assert_v that_o all_o the_o promise_n of_o god_n make_v unto_o we_o be_v make_v unto_o we_o in_o christ_n the_o thing_n therefore_o to_o be_v clear_v be_v that_o all_o the_o promise_n be_v make_v to_o christ_n which_o be_v clear_v the_o other_o follow_v that_o they_o be_v make_v to_o we_o in_o christ_n to_o clear_v this_o i_o shall_v begin_v with_o the_o first_o promise_n that_o ever_o be_v make_v to_o mankind_n since_o the_o fall_n viz._n that_o promise_v make_v to_o adam_n gen._n 3.15_o which_o as_o it_o be_v the_o first_o promise_n which_o ever_o fall_v man_n hear_v of_o so_o it_o be_v the_o grand_a promise_n as_o i_o may_v so_o say_v that_o upon_o which_o all_o the_o other_o promise_n hang_v and_o have_v their_o dependence_n and_o therefore_o look_v how_o this_o promise_n run_v to_o who_o this_o be_v make_v we_o may_v conclude_v this_o be_v the_o grand_a lead_a promise_n that_o all_o the_o other_o go_v in_o the_o same_o way_n run_v to_o the_o same_o person_n now_o if_o you_o read_v the_o

certain_a ground_n to_o conclude_v thou_o be_v none_o of_o they_o why_o shall_v thou_o refuse_v reason_n say_v why_o not_o thou_o but_o now_o a_o soul_n that_o live_v by_o faith_n that_o live_v above_o reason_n when_o it_o can_v see_v nothing_o in_o reason_n to_o believe_v what_o be_v there_o in_o reason_n for_o abraham_n to_o ground_v his_o faith_n upon_o when_o he_o be_v a_o hundred_o
