(2.) You say Abraham's Covenant could not be a Covenant of Faith, because Faith was not reckoned to Abraham for Righteousness in Circumcision, but in Uncircumcision, Rom. 4. 9, 10.
This is weak reasoning.1 Circumcision could not belong to a Gospel-covenant, because Abraham was a Believer before he was circumcised. You may as well deny the Lord's Supper to be the Seal of a Gospel-Covenant, because the Partakers of it are Believers before they partake of it. Beside, you cannot deny but it sealed the Righteousness of •aith to Abraham: and I desired you before, to prove that a Seal of the Covenant of Works i• capable of being applied to such an use and service, which you have not done, nor ever will be able to do; but politicly slided by it.
