Answ. So are all things strange to Men till they understand them. It's no more strange than that God Created all Men to Life (that Happiness which the first Covenant promised) who yet did dye for Sin.
The Second is John 6. 33, 57. which shall be vindicated anon.
The Third is Rom. 4. 13. Abraham is said by Faith to be Heir of the World, which ver. 11. is called to be [the Father of the Faithful.]
Answ. A bold interpretation, but here's no proof, nor appearance of any that the Father of the faithful is all one with (Heir of the World) is too unlikely a thing to be received on a Mans bare word: Especially considering that it is proper to Abraham to be (Father of all them that believe) verse. 11. But to be Heir of the World, verse 13. is not proper to him: For it is said, (the promise, that he should be Heir of the World, was not to Abraham or to his Seed, through the Law.) I never read where Abraham is called (Heir of the Faithful) nor can he so be conveniently called: But he is called Heir of the World: Therefore by the World is not meant only the Faithful.
