3. Doth not the Covenant and Promise to Adam run only to Christ Jesus, or refer to him, who is there meant by the Seed of the Woman? True, we will allow that it comprehendeth also all the Elect of God, in a large sense; but primarily and directly to Christ personally considered. But can any think this Promise is limited to the Carnal Seed of Believers or runs so? My Brethren, There are two Seeds, the one is called, The Seed of the Woman, which we affirm, is only Christ and all the Elect in him; and to all these the Covenant of Grace doth appertain, and to no more, as to the Special Blessings and Privileges thereof. The other are called, The Seed of the Serpent, who are the Ungodly; which proceed some of them from the Loins of the Faithful, as well as from the Loins of the Wicked; for as some Unbelievers Seed are in the Election of Grace, so some of the Seed of Believers are none of the Elect.

But to proceed, saith he, if the Children of the Faithful, are out of the Covenant of Grace, they have no Hope, and are without God in the World.
