a_o numerous_a seed_n be_v also_o a_o covenant_n of_o grace_n and_o mercy_n and_o salvation_n in_o jesus_n christ_n and_o consequent_o the_o same_o covenant_n with_o we_o be_v please_v sir_n to_o

same_o consideration_n and_o have_v regard_n to_o the_o same_o mediator_n jesus_n christ._n 1._o that_o this_o covenant_n which_o god_n make_v with_o abraham_n be_v found_v on_o the_o very_a same_o condition_n on_o which_o that_o be_v establish_v which_o we_o christian_n make_v with_o god_n in_o christ_n the_o sum_n of_o what_o the_o gospel_n of_o christ_n require_v in_o order_n to_o the_o salvation_n of_o our_o soul_n be_v only_o a_o firm_a faith_n and_o sincere_a obedience_n and_o if_o this_o be_v so_o the_o agreement_n in_o this_o respect_n be_v very_o exact_a god_n have_v require_v faith_n and_o obedience_n by_o the_o covenant_n which_o he_o make_v with_o abraham_n as_o strict_o and_o as_o indispensable_o as_o he_o have_v do_v by_o christ_n as_o to_o faith_n the_o case_n be_v

it_o be_v account_v to_o he_o for_o righteousness_n but_o also_o from_o the_o new_a in_o which_o st._n paul_n convince_v the_o jewish_a convert_v that_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n be_v not_o the_o

24._o 14._o and_o as_o faith_n be_v one_o part_n of_o abraham_n covenant_n so_o obedience_n be_v another_o and_o this_o appear_v plain_o by_o that_o injunction_n which_o god_n give_v he_o at_o the_o very_a same_o time_n that_o he_o be_v establish_v his_o covenant_n with_o he_o gen._n 17._o 12._o the_o lord_n appear_v unto_o abraham_n and_o say_v unto_o he_o i_o be_o the_o almighty_a god_n walk_v before_o i_o and_o be_v thou_o perfect_a which_o word_n the_o jew_n themselves_o look_v upon_o to_o be_v so_o much_o a_o command_n of_o universal_a obedience_n as_o from_o thence_o to_o conclude_v that_o in_o circumcision_n they_o all_o covenant_v to_o have_v no_o other_o god_n but_o he_o see_v bishop_n patrick_n 2._o as_o abraham_n covenant_n be_v the_o same_o with_o we_o in_o its_o

these_o that_o abraham_n be_v justify_v by_o his_o faith_n and_o that_o consequent_o justification_n be_v one_o of_o the_o great_a benefit_n and_o blessing_n of_o the_o covenant_n god_n make_v with_o he_o be_v so_o plain_o and_o express_o assert_v in_o the_o gospel_n that_o it_o be_v needless_a to_o go_v about_o to_o prove_v it_o and_o that_o eternal_a life_n in_o the_o world_n to_o come_v be_v promise_v to_o abraham_n and_o his_o posterity_n by_o christ_n as_o well_o as_o it_o be_v to_o we_o appear_v from_o hence_o that_o the_o land_n of_o canaan_n have_v always_o be_v look_v on_o as_o a_o

from_o the_o account_n which_o the_o new_a testament_n give_v of_o the_o spiritual_a mean_v and_o design_n of_o the_o old_a when_o god_n declare_v to_o abraham_n that_o he_o will_v be_v his_o god_n gen._n 17._o 7._o and_o to_o isaac_n gen._n 26._o 3._o and_o to_o jacob_n gen._n 28._o 13_o that_o he_o intend_v hereby_o to_o reward_v their_o faith_n and_o obedience_n with_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n be_v evident_a from_o the_o word_n of_o christ_n who_o from_o these_o promise_n prove_v the_o certainty_n of_o such_o a_o future_a state_n to_o the_o jew_n among_o who_o it_o be_v controvert_v mat._n 22._o 31_o 32._o and_o st._n paul_n tell_v we_o that_o abraham_n and_o the_o patriarch_n expect_v such_o a_o recompense_n to_o be_v couch_v under_o those_o temporal_a promise_n heb._n 11._o 13._o where_o he_o say_v these_o all_o die_v in_o faith_n not_o have_v actual_o receive_v the_o promise_n that_o be_v the_o blessing_n promise_v while_o they_o be_v on_o earth_n but_o have_v see_v they_o afar_o of_o and_o be_v persuade_v of_o they_o and_o embrace_v they_o and_o confess_v that_o they_o be_v stranger_n and_o pilgrim_n on_o earth_n and_o desire_v or_o look_v for_o a_o better_a country_n that_o be_v to_o say_v a_o heavenly_a and_o what_o can_v be_v a_o better_a proof_n that_o this_o be_v a_o covenant_n of_o grace_n than_o to_o find_v the_o chief_a blessing_n of_o the_o gospel_n here_o promise_v by_o god_n and_o believe_v and_o expect_v by_o the_o patriarch_n on_o the_o very_a condition_n of_o the_o gospel_n but_o 3._o last_o both_o these_o be_v found_v on_o the_o same_o consideration_n and_o equal_o have_v respect_n to_o the_o same_o mediator_n jesus_n christ_n and_o for_o the_o confirmation_n of_o this_o we_o all_o know_v that_o the_o promise_n which_o god_n make_v to_o abraham_n say_v in_o thy_o seed_n shall_v all_o the_o nation_n of_o the_o earth_n be_v bless_v be_v true_o and_o ready_o fulfil_v only_o in_o jesus_n christ_n and_o as_o the_o holy_a spirit_n of_o god_n have_v teach_v we_o this_o so_o christ_n tell_v we_o that_o abraham_n himself_o understand_v it_o so_o for_o discourse_v with_o the_o jew_n about_o he_o he_o say_v john_n 8._o 56._o your_o father_n abraham_n rejoice_v and_o desire_v to_o see_v my_o day_n and_o he_o see_v it_o and_o be_v glad_a i._n e._n he_o be_v solicitous_a more_o perfect_o to_o understand_v the_o

patriarch_n have_v the_o same_o particular_a communication_n of_o this_o great_a mystery_n be_v not_o at_o all_o to_o our_o purpose_n it_o be_v sufficient_a that_o the_o new_a testament_n declare_v that_o what_o blessing_n be_v thus_o gracious_o promise_v in_o this_o covenant_n with_o abraham_n be_v with_o reference_n to_o and_o for_o the_o sake_n of_o jesus_n christ_n that_o be_v to_o come_v
