1. I argue thus: That Covenant that was made to separate the Natural Seed of Abraham from all other Nations of the World, and made sure unto them the Earthly Promise of the Possession of the Land of Canaan, could not be a Covenant of Grace, which concerns the Infant-Seed of Believers under the Gospel.
But the Covenant of Circumcision was made to separate the Natural Seed of Abraham from all other Nations of the World, and made sure unto them the Earthly Promise of the Possession of the Land of Canaan: Ergo, The Covenant of Circumcision could not be a Covenant of Grace, which concerns the Infants of Believers under the Gospel.
The Major cannot be denied, because the Gospel, or second Covenant is established upon no such Earthly Promises as the Covenant of Circumcision was, not that we should have an Earthly Kingdom, or possess the Land of Canaan; but it is established on better Promises than these, as Heb. 8. 6. Also if that Covenant concerned us, or our Children, who are Gentiles, then the Gentiles had equal Right to that Earthly Inheritance; and then were not the Natural Seed of Abraham separated from all other People upon the account of that Earthly Blessing as their Possession only.
