A80754	The covenant of God with Abraham, opened. Wherein I. The duty of infant-baptism is cleared. II. Something added concerning the Sabbath, and the nature and increase of the kingdome of Christ. Together with a short discourse concerning the manifestations of God unto his people in the last dayes. Wherein is shewed the manner of the spirits work therein to be in the use of ordinary gifts, not by extraordinary revelations. / By William Carter minister of the gospel in London.

now_o if_o you_o consider_v what_o make_v we_o child_n of_o the_o second_o adam_n you_o will_v find_v that_o the_o original_n of_o our_o sonship_n in_o christ_n be_v god_n election_n ephes_n 1._o 4._o
