As to the Minor, see Gen. 17. I will establish my Covenant between me and thee, ver. 7. And I will give unto thee, and thy Seed after thee, the Land wherein thou art a Stranger, all the Land of Canaan for an everlasting Possession; and I will be thy God, ver. 8. This is my Covenant, which ye shall keep between me and you, and thy Seed after thee; every Man-Child among you shall be circumcised, ver. 10.
1st. There were some who were circumcised, to whom the Promise of the Gospel-Covenant God made with Abraham did not belong, as Ishmael, Esau, &c. God expressly ⟨p. 52⟩said, that his Covenant (i. e. the Covenant of Grace) was not established with Ishmael, but with Isaac, and yet the Covenant of Circumcision belonged to Ishmael as well as to Isaac. See Gen. 17. 20, 21. As for Ishmael, I have heard thee: behold. I have blessed him, &c. But my Covenant will I establish with Isaac, whom Sarah shall bear unto thee, &c. Compare this with Rom. 7. 8, 9. Not because they are the Seed of Abraham, are they all Children: that is, Children of the Covenant of Grace, or the Children of God; but the Children of the Promise are co•d for thy Seed: See Gal 4. 29, 30. Nay, all that were in Abraham's House, whether born there or Strangers, or such who were bought with his Money, were circumcised: But will you say, all these were in the Gospel-Covenant God made with him?
