415. 5. Though all were thus put under this Covenant, and God forsook none that first forsook not him, yet did he give more Grace to some, than to others, to Abel, e. g. than to Cain, so that those that did actually repent and believe and live to God, were justified and adopted and made heirs of life. And thus he decreed to do.
416. 6. Perseverance also was the effect of his special Grace, which accordingly is Decreed to be given.
417. 7. The Cainites, Canaanites and others that were the wicked Seed of wicked Parents, who forsook him and his Grace, he accordingly judged, punished and forsook: And so decreed.
418. 8. The Seed of the faithful he eminently blessed, especially of Abraham; whom he took (by reward) into a further special Covenant, superadded to the common Covenant of Grace, taking his Seed into a peculiar political and gracious relation to him, promising the multiplication and prosperity of them, and that the Saviour should come out of them: All which was so decreed to be done.
