praefigurate_a the_o death_n and_o suffering_n of_o christ_n who_o be_v give_v for_o a_o covenant_n of_o the_o people_n and_o be_v to_o be_v cut_v off_o and_o die_v for_o the_o sin_n of_o his_o people_n therefore_o as_o st._n paul_n say_v in_o another_o case_n be_v paul_n crucify_v so_o say_v in_o this_o viz._n be_v a_o female_a to_o be_v crucify_v for_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o people_n i_o think_v there_o be_v none_o but_o will_v deny_v that_o 2._o this_o also_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o the_o paschal_n lamb_n for_o sacrifice_n must_v be_v a_o male_a of_o the_o flock_n without_o blemish_n and_o not_o a_o female_a which_o do_v likewise_o praefigurate_a christ_n incarnation_n and_o crucifiction_n for_o 1._o he_o must_v be_v a_o man_n and_o not_o a_o woman_n 2._o he_o must_v be_v a_o man_n without_o sin_n 3._o he_o must_v be_v take_v out_o of_o the_o flock_n of_o god_n namely_o the_o tribe_n of_o judah_n 4._o and_o last_o he_o must_v be_v offer_v up_o without_o spot_n to_o god_n for_o the_o sin_n of_o his_o people_n 1_o cor._n 5.7_o therefore_o for_o these_o reason_n the_o male_a child_n be_v circumcise_v and_o not_o the_o female_a but_o yet_o notwithstanding_o the_o female_a seed_n of_o abraham_n be_v as_o much_o in_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n and_o share_v as_o much_o in_o the_o redeem_v love_n of_o christ_n as_o ever_o the_o male_a child_n of_o abraham_n do_v 3._o the_o token_n of_o the_o covenant_n be_v and_o still_o be_v to_o be_v on_o the_o flesh_n because_o all_o flesh_n have_v corrupt_v its_o way_n therefore_o nothing_o short_a of_o the_o death_n and_o suffering_n of_o christ_n can_v appease_v the_o wrath_n of_o god_n and_o reconcile_v he_o unto_o we_o and_o retrieve_v we_o from_o that_o lose_a and_o condemn_a state_n of_o sin_n and_o misery_n into_o which_o the_o fall_n of_o adam_n have_v involve_v we_o but_o christ_n deity_n do_v not_o suffer_v for_o it_o be_v impossible_a it_o be_v only_o the_o humane_a nature_n of_o christ_n that_o suffer_v and_o be_v cut_v off_o but_o not_o for_o himself_o but_o for_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o people_n dan._n 9_o and_o after_o threescore_o and_o two_o week_n shall_v messiah_n be_v

i_o have_v prove_v that_o the_o female_a seed_n of_o abraham_n be_v interest_v in_o the_o token_n of_o the_o covenant_n as_o well_o as_o the_o male_n and_o so_o be_v all_o the_o seed_n of_o believer_n now_o and_o have_v all_o a_o right_n to_o the_o ordinance_n of_o waterbaptism_n the_o successive_a token_n of_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n for_o as_o circumcision_n of_o the_o heart_n and_o

3.15_o and_o second_o it_o be_v the_o same_o which_o god_n establish_v with_o noah_n and_o his_o seed_n after_o the_o flood_n for_o god_n use_v the_o very_a same_o frame_n of_o speech_n with_o noah_n
