A31095	A brief and plain discovery of the falseness and unscripturalness of anabaptism as the same is now practised by those of that perswasion, w[here]in are plainly proved from God's word the five particulars here handled, that God's covenant with Abraham, Gen. 17.7. is the Covenant of grace whereby all God's elect are saved ... / by Ja.

church-seed_n in_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n he_o make_v with_o believe_v abraham_n their_o stipulate_v and_o covenant_v father_n which_o gracious_a act_n of_o his_o be_v never_o since_o repeal_v therefore_o the_o infant_n of_o abraham_n church-seed_n be_v still_o interest_v in_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n and_o have_v as_o great_a a_o right_n to_o and_o be_v as_o capable_a of_o the_o grace_n and_o seal_v of_o that_o covenant_n as_o ever_o i_o can_v see_v how_o this_o argument_n can_v possible_o be_v overthrow_v but_o by_o prove_v that_o god_n do_v alter_v and_o change_v that_o covenant_n he_o make_v with_o abraham_n his_o friend_n for_o himself_o and_o for_o his_o church-seed_n the_o which_o when_o the_o adversary_n do_v by_o evidence_n of_o scripture_n not_o abuse_v and_o
