but_o what_o then_o shall_v we_o conclude_v that_o the_o generation_n of_o the_o twelve_o tribe_n be_v the_o true_a israel_n my_o answer_n to_o that_o must_v speak_v from_o the_o record_n in_o that_o the_o declaration_n of_o that_o arise_v that_o all_o these_o be_v not_o true_a israel_n as_o be_v remarkable_a concern_v saloman_n at_o who_o death_n all_o 11._o 1_o king_n 13._o 11._o the_o tribe_n save_v one_o have_v a_o wicked_a king_n jeroboham_n you_o shall_v find_v they_o be_v divide_v again_o yea_o you_o shall_v read_v this_o israel_n so_o titule_v become_v so_o sinful_a that_o this_o prophet_n this_o defendant_n can_v not_o distinguish_v israel_n from_o other_o people_n so_o that_o now_o the_o only_a way_n to_o find_v out_o the_o truth_n be_v to_o peruse_v these_o ensue_a scripture_n as_o fit_v take_v notice_n what_o the_o profit_n 22_o isaiah_n 1._o 1._o 22_o isaiah_n say_v which_o text_n i_o conceive_v be_v important_a to_o the_o question_n in_o hand_n in_o that_o it_o be_v a_o exposition_n of_o those_o text_n former_o coated_a so_o that_o i_o need_v not_o use_v any_o other_o argument_n save_v only_o the_o language_n of_o this_o profit_n who_o show_v plain_o that_o all_o those_o of_o the_o 12._o tribe_n be_v not_o true_a israel_n that_o all_o those_o generation_n be_v not_o regenerate_v therefore_o but_o a_o remnant_n shall_v 21_o verse_n 21_o return_v even_o the_o remnant_n of_o jacob_n etc._n etc._n so_o that_o take_v notice_n that_o although_o thy_o people_n o_o israel_n be_v as_o the_o sand_n of_o the_o sea_n yet_o but_o a_o remnant_n of_o they_o shall_v return_v so_o that_o dear_a friend_n all_o that_o have_v their_o original_n note_n 1._o note_n from_o the_o loin_n of_o abraham_n according_a to_o flesh_n be_v not_o true_a israel_n as_o more_o full_o will_v appear_v in_o the_o next_o scripture_n where_o 7._o rom_n 9_o 7._o it_o be_v say_v they_o be_v not_o all_o child_n any_o whit_n the_o more_o for_o be_v of_o the_o seed_n of_o abraham_n as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v it_o matter_n not_o for_o all_o their_o birth_n external_a in_o that_o their_o birthright_n and_o evidence_n do_v not_o arise_v there_o from_o that_o birthright_n which_o the_o profit_n and_o apostle_n here_o intend_v that_o birthright_n by_o which_o thou_o be_v entitle_v and_o so_o choose_v one_o of_o true_a israel_n i_o say_v for_o all_o abraham_n be_v thy_o

which_o be_v of_o israel_n so_o that_o dear_a friend_n your_o profession_n without_o possession_n your_o relation_n to_o abraham_n and_o not_o with_o izack_n be_v of_o no_o validity_n because_o say_v the_o text_n in_o izack_n shall_v thy_o seed_n be_v call_v so_o that_o this_o may_v put_v a_o period_n to_o any_o such_o doubt_n or_o queery_n that_o may_v assault_v my_o exposition_n hereon_o as_o to_o conclude_v that_o any_o of_o abraham_n kindred_n be_v true_a israel_n save_v only_o those_o that_o be_v call_v in_o isaac_n those_o that_o be_v child_n 18._o 1_o cor._n 10_o 18._o of_o the_o
