the_o gift_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n for_o the_o promise_n be_v to_o you_o and_o to_o your_o child_n object_n if_o they_o say_v then_o sure_o these_o child_n be_v in_o the_o covenant_n see_v the_o

be_v already_o say_v thereto_o yet_o nevertheless_o i_o will_v further_o demonstrate_v the_o same_o by_o these_o reason_n first_o the_o promise_n be_v make_v equal_o to_o they_o and_o to_o their_o child_n and_o to_o they_o that_o be_v a_o far_o off_o but_o these_o which_o be_v a_o far_o off_o be_v not_o within_o the_o covenant_n by_o the_o promise_n until_o they_o believe_v the_o same_o second_o if_o they_o be_v in_o the_o covenant_n by_o have_v this_o promise_n make_v to_o they_o than_o be_v they_o of_o the_o new_a covenant_n and_o church_n of_o the_o gospel_n for_o there_o be_v

neither_o they_o nor_o their_o child_n be_v of_o the_o covenant_n nor_o church_n until_o they_o do_v believe_v although_o they_o be_v jew_n and_o so_o the_o child_n of_o faithful_a abraham_n their_o
