There are four periods of time, of renewing this Covenant: first, from Adam to Abraham, and in those first times of the world, those that were under the Covenant, were ⟨p. 110⟩called the sons and daughters of God, the children of the promise, and the covenant of grace was called a promise of the blessed seed.
There are foure periods of time, of renevying this Covenant: first, from Adam to Abraham, and in those first times of the vvorld, those that were under the Covenant, vvere ⟨p. 110⟩called the sonnes and daughters of God, the children of the promise, and the covenant of grace was called a promise of the blessed seed.
