You say, Abraham's Blessing was not Personal unto him and unto his Seed, this Blessing came upon the ⟨p. 62⟩believing Gentiles, therefore, say you, it must come on the Faithful, and on their Seed; for it cannot be termed Abraham's Blessing if it come not upon the Gentiles in an essential form to Abraham's Covenant; that is, I will be a God unto thee, and to thy Seed, unless this Blessing come upon the Gentiles in the same manner, and in the same Enlargement, it being not Abraham's Blessing, but a part of it, being cut in the middle. I will be a God to you Gentiles, but not to your Seed; is this Abraham's Blessing, how unlike to it? there is a great difference between an Estate settled on a real Man, and that being also settled on his Children.
