Christ you say, explaineth Abraham's Covenant, in Gen. 19. which God made with him and his Family, or his Seed, because he was a Son to Abraham; as if he should say, though this Man hath been a great Sinner, and though he hath been chief Publican, yet because he did repent, and receive the mediator of the Covenant of Grace, Abraham's Covenant, and the Privileges thereof do belong unto him, and to his Household. He is a Son of Abraham, therefore Abraham's Covenant belongs to him, in the same Latitude to him and his Seed; many judge that Zacheus was one of the Gentiles, for usually such were Publicans, and this they gather from these words of Christ, […] so much as he also is a Son of Abraham; he also, though he is not a natural Seed to Abraham, yet he is one of his Spiritual Seed, and therefore Abraham's Covenant belongs unto him and his Household, &c.
