take_v heed_n that_o we_o do_v not_o blot_v out_o those_o name_n that_o the_o lord_n have_v put_v into_o the_o covenant_n but_o it_o may_v be_v you_o will_v say_v further_o by_o way_n of_o objection_n if_o child_n belong_v to_o the_o covenant_n of_o god_n and_o the_o covenant_n that_o the_o child_n of_o believe_a parent_n be_v under_o be_v a_o covenant_n of_o grace_n of_o necessity_n they_o must_v

in_o respect_n of_o the_o outward_a dispensation_n they_o may_v be_v under_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n and_o yet_o never_o attain_v to_o life_n and_o salvation_n for_o when_o as_o we_o do_v baptise_v those_o who_o do_v make_v a_o profession_n of_o their_o faith_n sure_o we_o look_v upon_o they_o as_o believer_n and_o such_o as_o be_v in_o covenant_n with_o god_n and_o therefore_o we_o

of_o christ_n and_o be_v baptize_v upon_o that_o profession_n to_o fall_v off_o and_o to_o come_v short_a of_o life_n and_o salvation_n and_o yet_o i_o hope_v you_o will_v say_v the_o ordinance_n be_v not_o disorderly_o administer_v though_o they_o that_o do_v make_v a_o profession_n do_v fall_v off_o so_o though_o all_o child_n of_o believe_a parent_n do_v not_o attain_v to_o eternal_a life_n yet_o the_o ordinance_n be_v no_o more_o undue_o administer_v to_o they_o then_o to_o other_o for_o both_o professor_n and_o child_n may_v be_v under_o the_o outward_a administration_n of_o the_o

judge_v and_o own_o as_o god_n own_v take_v heed_n that_o we_o do_v not_o disow_v what_o god_n own_v and_o if_o god_n will_v own_v the_o child_n of_o believe_a parent_n visible_o and_o put_v they_o under_o a_o outward_a administration_n of_o the_o covenant_n sure_o there_o be_v no_o danger_n of_o own_v where_o god_n own_v god_n own_v be_v a_o sure_a ground_n for_o we_o to_o go_v upon_o than_o any_o man_n profession_n now_o god_n seem_v to_o own_o the_o seed_n of_o believer_n by_o his_o gracious_a promise_n nay_o let_v it_o be_v consider_v those_o prophecy_n that_o speak_v of_o the_o

why_o the_o lord_n look_v upon_o they_o as_o vile_a creature_n they_o be_v dog_n in_o god_n account_n whatever_o they_o be_v in_o the_o world_n and_o so_o christ_n call_v they_o by_o david_n
be_v expect_v by_o that_o name_n among_o the_o jew_n for_o so_o he_o be_v promise_v and_o prophesy_v of_o that_o he_o shall_v be_v the_o son_n of_o david_n but_o again_o he_o be_v call_v the_o son_n of_o david_n because_o the_o promise_n be_v in_o a_o special_a manner_n unto_o david_n in_o a_o gracious_a way_n god_n do_v confirm_v the_o promise_n of_o the_o messia●_n unto_o david_n notwithstanding_o david_n imperfection_n and_o the_o sin_n that_o be_v in_o david_n yet_o the_o promise_n of_o the_o messiah_n be_v to_o david_n and_o his_o house_n though_o his_o house_n be_v not_o

notwithstanding_o his_o unworthiness_n yet_o the_o messiah_n shall_v spring_v out_o of_o his_o loin_n and_o therefore_o in_o respect_n of_o that_o gracious_a promise_n he_o be_v call_v the_o son_n of_o david_n second_o this_o woman_n give_v he_o the_o title_n of_o the_o son_n of_o david_n because_o it_o be_v the_o most_o honourable_a title_n where_o there_o be_v true_a faith_n it_o will_v put_v

david_n so_o in_o many_o thing_n jesus_n christ_n be_v like_a to_o david_n and_o david_n kingdom_n it_o be_v a_o type_n of_o christ_n kingdom_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v say_v of_o christ_n luke_n 1_o that_o god_n shall_v give_v he_o the_o throne_n of_o david_n his_o father_n but_o in_o these_o particular_n i_o shall_v instance_n to_o you_o that_o david_n be_v a_o type_n of_o christ_n and_o christ_n like_v to_o david_n first_o david_n in_o those_o manifold_a victory_n and_o conquest_n that_o david_n obtain_v over_o his_o enemy_n and_o the_o enemy_n of_o god_n why_o david_n be_v a_o very_a victorious_a prince_n he_o subdue_v the_o enemy_n of_o israel_n in_o david_n time_n many_o of_o the_o lord_n battle_n be_v fight_v by_o david_n and_o david_n return_v a_o conqueror_n he_o smite_v the_o great_a goliath_n that_o defy_v the_o army_n of_o the_o god_n of_o israel_n david_n go_v forth_o and_o smite_v he_o and_o he_o fall_v and_o in_o those_o remarkable_a victory_n david_n obtain_v over_o the_o enemy_n of_o the_o church_n he_o be_v a_o type_n of_o christ_n and_o therefore_o christ_n be_v call_v the_o son_n of_o david_n second_o and_o then_o again_o david_n be_v a_o type_n of_o christ_n in_o that_o he_o bring_v back_o again_o the_o ark_n of_o god_n that_o be_v take_v captive_a by_o the_o philistine_n david_n restore_v the_o ark_n and_o bring_v it_o back_o again_o so_o christ_n restore_v the_o ordinance_n and_o will_v restore_v they_o to_o their_o perfect_a purity_n even_o all_o the_o vessel_n of_o the_o lord_n house_n that_o have_v be_v take_v captive_a by_o

there_o be_v a_o promise_n of_o it_o and_o he_o will_v fulfil_v it_o in_o this_o david_n be_v a_o type_n of_o christ_n three_o david_n be_v a_o type_n of_o christ_n in_o that_o he_o wait_v long_o for_o the_o kingdom_n after_o the_o promise_n be_v give_v to_o he_o yea_o after_o the_o lord_n by_o samuel_n have_v anoint_v david_n to_o be_v king_n over_o israel_n after_o he_o be_v anoint_v he_o be_v drive_v out_o and_o he_o wait_v long_o for_o the_o fulfil_n of_o the_o promise_n a_o type_n of_o christ_n in_o that_o and_o so_o it_o be_v with_o david_n son_n the_o lord_n jesus_n though_o anoint_v though_o the_o spirit_n be_v pour_v out_o upon_o he_o without_o measure_n though_o anoint_a to_o be_v king_n yet_o we_o see_v not_o all_o his_o enemy_n put_v under_o his_o foot_n there_o be_v a_o promise_n that_o it_o shall_v be_v so_o but_o we_o see_v it_o not_o yet_o he_o wait_v for_o it_o and_o therefore_o he_o compare_v himself_o to_o a_o man_n that_o go_v into_o a_o far_a country_n to_o receive_v a_o kingdom_n for_o himself_o and_o so_o christ_n be_v in_o heaven_n he_o sit_v and_o wait_v for_o it_o till_o the_o time_n come_v that_o his_o father_n shall_v give_v he_o the_o

be_v many_o and_o great_a mighty_a and_o potent_a and_o so_o be_v the_o enemy_n of_o jesus_n christ_n saul_n and_o all_o his_o force_n rise_v up_o against_o david_n and_o david_n he_o have_v many_o enemy_n in_o his_o own_o house_n afterward_o and_o they_o that_o do_v eat_v bread_n with_o he_o at_o his_o table_n and_o his_o enemy_n be_v a_o type_n of_o christ_n enemy_n saul_n and_o all_o his_o
