Who speaking of this Text, Mat. 3. 10. Now also the Axe is laid to the Root of the Trees. The first (saith he) is the Root of Abraham's Covenant, which these People trusted upon, and of that it is which John the Baptist speaketh, now is the Axe laid to the Root of the Trees; think not to say within your Selves, we have Abraham to our Father, so that all their Confidence that they had in Abraham's Covenant, Temple and Tabernacle and such things, are burnt up, and so they have no Root left them to stand upon, and this is one thing intended by the Root. Again he saith, the Lord hath cut us off from hope, in the righteousness of our Parents, and from boasting of Ordinances; again saith he, this we read of, Mal. 4. 1. it is spoken of the ministry of John the Baptist, which ⟨p. 183⟩did burn as an Oven against all the Scribes and Pharisees, and left them neither the Root of Abraham's Covenant, nor the branch of their own good Works, he cutteth them off from Abraham's Covenant, &c. and by cutting them off from the Root, he leaveth them no Ground to trust on, Cotton on the Covenant, pag. 177, and p. 21, 22.
