Which teacheth us to look well to our Charter in Christ: for it is not enough to be borne of believing Parents, but we must also be believers. Job may sacrifice for not expiate his sons sins. It is sinful for men on earth to deprive the first borne: but God may,¹ and doth it. Gen. 48. Israel stretched out his right hand▪ and laid it upon Ephraims head, who was the younger: and his left hand on Manass•hs head, guiding his hands wittingly: though Manasseh was the first borne. And ver. 18 When ⟨p. 63⟩Joseph said to him, Not so my Father. Jacob answered, I know it my Son, I know it. Thus Generation may be cut off, Regeneration never. A man may be lost, though borne in the Faith, unless he be borne again to the Faith. Neither is it enough for Ishmael, to plead himself the Son of Abraham, unless he can also plead himself the Son of God, and an heir of Abraham's faith.

Which teacheth vs to looke well to our Charter in Christ: for it is not enough to bee borne of beleeuing Parents, but wee must also be beleeuers. Iob may sacrifice for not expiate his sonnes sinnes. It is sinfull for men on earth to depriue the first borne: but God may,¹ and doth it. Gen. 48. Israel stre•ched out his right hand▪ and laid it vpon Ephraims head, who was the younger: and his left hand on Manass•hs head, guiding his handes wi•tingly: though M•n•sseh was the first borne. And ver. 18 When ⟨p. 63⟩Ioseph sayd to him, Not so my Father. Iacob answered, I know it my Sonne, I know it. Thus Generation may be cut off, Regeneration neuer. A man may be lost, though borne in the Fayth, vnlesse he be borne againe to the Fayth. Neither is it enough for Ishmael, to plead himselfe the Sonne of Abraham, vnlesse he can also plead himselfe the Sonne of God, and an heire of Abrahams fayth.
