wait_v in_o the_o day_n of_o noah_n while_o the_o ark_n be_v prepare_v wherein_o few_o that_o be_v eight_o soul_n be_v save_v by_o water_n the_o like_a figure_n whereunto_o baptism_n do_v now_o also_o save_v we_o by_o the_o resurrection_n of_o jesus_n christ_n these_o then_o be_v only_a figure_n and_o allusion_n can_v serve_v at_o all_o to_o prove_v the_o point_n in_o hand_n object_n there_o be_v

outward_a thing_n be_v not_o needful_a answ_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v that_o this_o in_o water_n be_v command_v we_o of_o god_n it_o must_v needs_o be_v our_o duty_n to_o submit_v thereunto_o unless_o we_o will_v reject_v the_o counsel_n of_o god_n against_o ourselves_o as_o the_o pharisee_n and_o lawyer_n do_v luke_n 7._o 30._o and_o deem_v ourselves_o wise_a than_o god_n who_o command_v

circumcision_n be_v nothing_o nor_o uncircumcision_n but_o a_o new_a creature_n so_o baptism_n be_v nothing_o for_o christ_n be_v now_o all_o in_o all_o answ_n it_o be_v true_a that_o now_o circumcision_n be_v nothing_o nor_o uncircumcision_n whereby_o to_o difference_n or_o prefer_v one_o man_n before_o another_o now_o in_o time_n of_o the_o gospel_n but_o a_o new_a creature_n yet_o hence_o to_o conclude_v that_o therefore_o baptism_n be_v nothing_o be_v very_o absurd_a it_o be_v command_v we_o unless_o to_o obey_v and_o disobey_v christ_n be_v all_o one_o and_o yet_o in_o some_o sense_n baptism_n be_v nothing_o but_o it_o be_v in_o the_o same_o sense_n as_o prayer_n hear_v and_o preach_v be_v nothing_o yea_o and_o as_o faith_n itself_o be_v comparative_o nothing_o to_o christ_n who_o be_v all_o in_o all_o for_o in_o all_o our_o duty_n of_o obedience_n we_o ought_v so_o to_o make_v and_o esteem_v he_o but_o by_o our_o slight_n of_o his_o command_n instead_o of_o make_v he_o all_o in_o all_o we_o do_v make_v he_o nothing_o in_o all_o and_o all_o in_o nothing_o and_o ourselves_o nothing_o at_o all_o but_o these_o and_o the_o like_a aerial_a notion_n i_o think_v scarce_o worth_a answer_v hold_v firm_o this_o conclusion_n that_o as_o christ_n have_v redeem_v we_o both_o body_n and_o spirit_n 1_o cor._n 6._o 20_o so_o he_o require_v we_o and_o it_o be_v our_o

obedience_n to_o all_o his_o ordinance_n and_o command_n without_o which_o we_o can_v approve_v ourselves_o to_o love_v he_o nor_o be_v his_o disciple_n indeed_o and_o true_o io._n 15._o 10._o 15._o 22._o and_o it_o much_o pity_v i_o to_o see_v such_o curious_a conceit_n and_o sublime_a notion_n shall_v be_v the_o ruin_n of_o so_o many_o precious_a spirit_n as_o it_o be_v to_o be_v fear_v they_o will_v be_v 5._o but_o their_o five_o and_o main_a argument_n be_v yet_o behind_o from_o the_o covenant_n which_o god_n make_v with_o abraham_n and_o with_o his_o seed_n gen._n 17._o and_o hence_o thus_o they_o reason_n as_o the_o covenant_n and_o promise_n be_v make_v to_o abraham_n be_v a_o faithful_a man_n and_o his_o seed_n and_o thereupon_o all_o his_o seed_n be_v circumcise_v in_o time_n of_o the_o law_n so_o the_o same_o covenant_n and_o promise_n be_v make_v to_o they_o be_v believer_n and_o their_o seed_n and_o therefore_o their_o seed_n may_v now_o upon_o the_o same_o ground_n be_v baptise_v to_o which_o i_o answer_v that_o neither_o abraham_n nor_o his_o seed_n be_v circumcise_v because_o the_o covenant_n be_v make_v with_o he_o for_o the_o covenant_n be_v make_v with_o he_o above_o twenty_o year_n before_o circumcision_n be_v institute_v as_o may_v appear_v by_o compare_v gen._n 12._o 2_o 3._o with_o gen._n 16._o 3._o and_o 17._o 25._o and_o yet_o all_o this_o time_n abraham_n be_v not_o circumcise_v neither_o have_v he_o or_o any_o of_o his_o seed_n ever_o be_v circumcise_v for_o his_o be_v in_o the_o covenant_n have_v not_o the_o lord_n afterward_o express_o command_v the_o same_o nor_o be_v that_o covenant_n make_v with_o abraham_n and_o his_o seed_n mere_o for_o his_o be_v a_o faithful_a man_n for_o then_o shall_v it_o have_v be_v make_v with_o noah_n be_v a_o faithful_a man_n but_o for_o his_o be_v such_o a_o faithful_a man_n who_o the_o lord_n please_v to_o choose_v and_o set_v out_o as_o a_o pattern_n to_o all_o believer_n rom._n 4._o 23_o 24._o and_o to_o be_v a_o father_n of_o many_o nation_n rom._n 4._o 17_o 18._o and_o in_o who_o seed_n all_o the_o nation_n in_o the_o world_n shall_v be_v bless_v act._n 5._o 25._o and_o 13._o 23._o to_o wit_n in_o christ_n who_o be_v to_o come_v of_o his_o flesh_n and_o therefore_o although_o the_o covenant_n and_o promise_n be_v make_v to_o abraham_n and_o his_o seed_n yet_o the_o consequence_n will_v not_o follow_v that_o the_o covenant_n be_v likewise_o make_v with_o all_o believer_n and_o their_o seed_n for_o believer_n only_o be_v the_o seed_n and_o the_o seed_n only_o and_o none_o of_o they_o a_o father_n in_o the_o gospel_n sense_n nor_o any_o other_o save_v only_a abraham_n to_o who_o and_o his_o seed_n the_o covenant_n and_o promise_n be_v make_v wherefore_o to_o affirm_v that_o every_o believer_n have_v now_o the_o same_o covenant_n and_o promise_v make_v to_o he_o and_o his_o seed_n as_o abraham_n have_v to_o he_o &_o his_o seed_n be_v very_o absurd_a and_o be_v all_o one_o as_o to_o say_v that_o now_o every_o believer_n by_o his_o believe_a do_v immediate_o become_v a_o father_n of_o the_o faithful_a as_o well_o as_o abraham_n and_o if_o so_o i_o demand_v then_o where_o be_v any_o seed_n if_o all_o be_v father_n for_o their_o seed_n and_o their_o seed_n seed_n be_v all_o member_n of_o the_o church_n and_o to_o be_v account_v faithful_a and_o so_o to_o be_v all_o father_n of_o the_o faithful_a as_o well_o as_o abraham_n from_o generation_n to_o generation_n to_o the_o world_n end_n or_o more_o plain_o thus_o promise_v only_o this_o truth_n that_o there_o be_v now_o no_o difference_n between_o any_o circumcision_n or_o uncircumcision_n jew_n or_o gentile_n bond_n or_o free_a male_a or_o female_a but_o all_o be_v one_o in_o christ_n jesus_n gal._n 3._o 28._o i_o thus_o express_v myself_o if_o every_o believer_n by_o his_o believe_a do_v become_v a_o father_n of_o the_o faithful_a as_o well_o as_o abraham_n than_o it_o must_v be_v at_o the_o very_a instant_n of_o his_o believe_v that_o he_o do_v become_v a_o father_n of_o the_o faithful_a as_o well_o as_o abraham_n and_o if_o so_o where_o then_o will_v be_v any_o child_n to_o all_o these_o father_n for_o none_o can_v be_v child_n before_o they_o be_v faithful_a and_o also_o at_o the_o same_o instant_n cease_v to_o be_v child_n and_o become_v father_n which_o imply_v a_o flat_a contradiction_n and_o then_o how_o can_v abraham_n himself_o be_v father_n of_o all_o believer_n rom._n 4_o 11_o 12._o or_o how_o then_o can_v the_o promise_n be_v sure_a to_o all_o the_o seed_n if_o believer_n child_n be_v the_o seed_n for_o they_o will_v not_o affirm_v that_o all_o their_o child_n be_v save_v but_o this_o be_v affirm_v of_o all_o the_o seed_n to_o who_o the_o promise_n be_v make_v rom._n 4._o 16._o heb._n 6._o 16_o 17._o compare_v with_o gal._n 3._o 29._o now_o than_o if_o the_o promise_v be_v sure_a unto_o all_o the_o seed_n unto_o who_o it_o be_v make_v and_o all_o believer_n and_o only_o all_o believer_n the_o promise_n be_v sure_a to_o then_o all_o believer_n and_o only_o all_o believer_n be_v the_o seed_n unto_o who_o the_o promise_n be_v make_v and_o then_o none_o of_o abraham_n own_o natural_a seed_n nor_o the_o natural_a seed_n of_o any_o other_o in_o the_o world_n be_v to_o be_v account_v the_o seed_n unto_o who_o the_o promise_n and_o
