christ_n to_o be_v reveal_v from_o heaven_n which_o be_v the_o glorious_a estate_n of_o christ_n and_o the_o saint_n upon_o earth_n which_o have_v be_v foretell_v by_o the_o mouth_n of_o the_o

yet_o notwithstanding_o that_o they_o can_v be_v account_v of_o as_o member_n of_o the_o kingdom_n in_o the_o other_o sense_n that_o i_o deny_v as_o first_o they_o be_v not_o member_n of_o the_o new_a

even_o unto_o the_o great_a and_o so_o need_v no_o teach_v to_o know_v the_o lord_n but_o infant_n know_v not_o the_o lord_n and_o therefore_o be_v not_o of_o the_o new_a covenant_n or_o church_n of_o

in_o these_o word_n the_o seed_n of_o the_o woman_n shall_v break_v the_o serpent_n head_n and_o indeed_o have_v not_o man_n sin_v since_o the_o fall_n he_o then_o shall_v have_v have_v no_o need_n

the_o which_o without_o circumcision_n they_o may_v not_o do_v but_o there_o be_v no_o such_o damage_n liable_a to_o the_o seed_n of_o believer_n be_v unbaptise_v so_o as_o to_o be_v cut_v off_o

neither_o be_v there_o the_o same_o reason_n for_o it_o but_o that_o you_o may_v see_v this_o more_o at_o large_a read_v my_o book_n entitle_v dagons_n downfall_n where_o it_o be_v discourse_v more_o
