turk_n die_v in_o their_o infancy_n as_o well_o as_o some_o of_o the_o infant_n of_o christian_n and_o so_o carry_v salvation_n by_o christ_n out_o of_o the_o church_n beyond_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n where_o god_n never_o make_v any_o promise_n that_o god_n have_v make_v a_o promise_n to_o be_v the_o god_n of_o believer_n and_o of_o their_o seed_n we_o all_o know_v but_o where_o the_o promise_n be_v to_o be_v find_v that_o he_o will_v be_v the_o god_n of_o the_o seed_n of_o such_o parent_n who_o live_v and_o die_v his_o enemy_n and_o their_o seed_n not_o so_o much_o as_o call_v by_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o gospel_n i_o know_v not_o these_o man_n say_v the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n make_v to_o the_o jew_n differ_v from_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n make_v with_o we_o but_o i_o desire_v to_o know_v whether_o in_o the_o one_o or_o in_o the_o other_o they_o find_v any_o promise_n of_o salvation_n by_o christ_n to_o any_o infant_n die_v in_o their_o infancy_n who_o parent_n no_o way_n belong_v to_o the_o family_n of_o god_n or_o covenant_n of_o grace_n the_o matter_n then_o be_v of_o such_o consequence_n and_o many_o among_o we_o in_o such_o danger_n of_o be_v seduce_v further_o than_o be_v easy_a to_o imagine_v through_o the_o subtlety_n activity_n and_o diligence_n of_o such_o as_o with_o a_o great_a show_n of_o scripture_n and_o under_o a_o pretence_n of_o zeal_n do_v creep_v into_o house_n yea_o proclaim_v these_o thing_n open_o in_o pulpit_n i_o take_v myself_o bind_v upon_o this_o occasion_n to_o show_v you_o upon_o what_o ground_n the_o orthodox_a church_n have_v hitherto_o retain_v this_o practice_n and_o shall_v bring_v all_o that_o i_o intend_v to_o speak_v of_o it_o under_o two_o argument_n and_o under_o they_o shall_v endeavour_v to_o answer_v whatsoever_o i_o have_v find_v of_o any_o moment_n object_v to_o the_o contrary_a my_o first_o argument_n be_v this_o the_o infant_n of_o believe_a parent_n be_v foederati_fw-la covenant_n therefore_o they_o must_v be_v signati_fw-la they_o be_v within_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n belong_v to_o christ_n body_n kingdom_n family_n therefore_o be_v to_o partake_v of_o the_o seal_n of_o his_o covenant_n or_o the_o distinguish_a badge_n between_o they_o who_o be_v under_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n and_o they_o who_o be_v not_o the_o ordinary_a answer_n to_o this_o argument_n be_v by_o deny_v that_o infant_n be_v under_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n only_o some_o few_o deny_v the_o consequence_n that_o although_o they_o be_v within_o the_o covenant_n yet_o it_o follow_v not_o that_o they_o must_v be_v seal_v because_o say_v they_o the_o woman_n among_o the_o jew_n be_v under_o the_o covenant_n yet_o receive_v not_o circumcision_n which_o be_v the_o seal_n of_o the_o covenant_n but_o this_o receive_v a_o easy_a answer_n the_o woman_n be_v circumcise_a in_o the_o male_n else_o can_v not_o god_n have_v say_v that_o the_o whole_a house_n of_o israel_n be_v circumcise_a in_o the_o flesh_n else_o can_v not_o the_o whole_a nation_n of_o the_o jew_n be_v call_v the_o circumcision_n in_o opposition_n to_o all_o the_o world_n beside_o who_o be_v call_v the_o uncircumcision_n but_o for_o the_o better_a clear_n of_o this_o whole_a argument_n i_o shall_v endeavour_v to_o make_v good_a these_o five_o conclusion_n conclusion_n first_o that_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n have_v always_o for_o substance_n ben_z one_o and_o the_o same_o second_o god_n will_v have_v the_o infant_n of_o such_o as_o enter_v into_o covenant_n with_o he_o be_v count_v he_o as_o well_o as_o their_o parent_n three_o god_n have_v ever_o since_o abraham_n time_n have_v a_o seal_n to_o be_v apply_v to_o such_o as_o enter_v into_o covenant_n with_o he_o four_o by_o god_n own_o order_n the_o seed_n or_o infant_n of_o covenanter_n before_o christ_n time_n be_v to_o be_v seal_v with_o the_o seal_n of_o admission_n into_o his_o covenant_n as_o well_o as_o their_o parent_n five_o the_o privilege_n of_o such_o as_o be_v in_o covenant_n since_o christ_n time_n be_v as_o honourable_a large_a and_o comfortable_a both_o to_o themselves_o and_o their_o child_n as_o they_o be_v before_o christ_n time_n and_o these_o five_o proposition_n make_v good_a the_o argument_n will_v be_v strong_a and_o undeniable_a the_o first_o be_v that_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n for_o substance_n conclusion_n have_v always_o be_v one_o and_o the_o same_o substance_n both_o to_o the_o jew_n and_o to_o the_o gentile_n which_o to_o understand_v know_v that_o the_o new_a and_o live_a way_n to_o life_n be_v first_o reveal_v to_o adam_n immediate_o after_o his_o fall_n and_o that_o bless_a promise_n concerning_o the_o seed_n of_o the_o woman_n be_v often_o renew_v and_o the_o patriarch_n faith_n therein_o and_o salvation_n thereby_o record_v plentiful_o in_o the_o scripture_n but_o the_o first_o time_n that_o ever_o it_o be_v reveal_v under_o the_o express_a name_n of_o a_o league_n or_o covenant_n be_v with_o abraham_n and_o therefore_o we_o shall_v need_v look_v no_o high_o than_o his_o day_n who_o because_o he_o be_v the_o first_o explicit_a covenanter_n be_v call_v the_o father_n of_o the_o faithful_a and_o ever_o since_o clear_o have_v all_o the_o world_n be_v divide_v into_o two_o distinct_a body_n or_o family_n the_o one_o call_v the_o kingdom_n city_n household_n of_o god_n to_o which_o all_o who_o own_o the_o way_n to_o life_n be_v to_o join_v themselves_o and_o these_o be_v call_v the_o child_n of_o god_n

make_v with_o adam_n in_o paradise_n yet_o in_o order_n to_o the_o administration_n of_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n there_o be_v a_o rehearsal_n of_o the_o covenant_n of_o work_n under_o which_o all_o man_n lie_v by_o nature_n until_o they_o be_v bring_v under_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n and_o this_o be_v deliver_v with_o great_a terror_n and_o under_o most_o dreadful_a penalty_n that_o
