Further, one of the seed of Jacob is one of the Church of God: for all Jacobs posterity was so: therefore the blessing in Ruth is,¹ The Lord bless thee like Rachel and Leah, which two did build up the house of Israel. Why is it not, the Lord bless thee as Rebekah, or Sarah, but as Rachel & Leah. (It was a blessing upon a marriage condition) the reason is, because from Rachel and Leah, came only those that were of the Church, that were members of the Church of God; but there came others from Rebekah, & of Sarah came only Isaac, but Abraham's posterity was otherwise. And that Church that was then was but a type of that which should be after; that is of a company of people elected, and called out from the world to be partakers of the Privileges of Jesus Christ.

Why is it not, the Lord blesse thee as Rebeccah, or Sarah, but as Rachel & Leah. (It was a blessing upon a marriage condition) the reason is, because from Rachel and Leah, came onely those that were of the Church, that were members of the Church of God; but there came others from Rebeccah, & of Sarah came onely Isaac, but Abrahams posterity was otherwise. And that Church that was then was but a type of that which should be after; that is of a company of people elected, and called out from the world to be partakers of the Priviledges of Iesus Christ. The people of the Iews, the seed of Iacob were the Church of God, as the seed of such an one. And
