1. Doct. The old floor is gone, 'tis removed, viz. The old Jewish Church, or national Church of Israel, the wheat that was in it being taken into Christs Gospel-Garner, and the chaff or all graceless persons or unbelievers, are fanned away. Now Christ hath removed the partition-wall that was between Jew and Gentile, and hath reconciled both unto God in one body. Now there is no knowing men after the flesh, fleshly Privileges, i. e. being 1the Seed of Abraham, or being the Seed of Believers, as such, gives no right to Spiritual saving and eternal Blessings. Both those two People, Jews and Gentiles, that believe of twain are ⟨p. 34⟩made one, i. e. one now man, or one Christian or Gospel-Church. And this is done by Jesus Christ, who by his Fan or Dispensation of the New Testament hath abolished the old Covenant right of Church-Membership; not the fleshly Seed, but the spiritual Seed of Abraham, are to be received into Christs Gospel Garner; Ye as lively stones are built up a spiritual House, 2&c. But this I shall not prosecute.
