Mr. […] makes mention of a two• Covenant. 1. In relation to El•ion. 2. To […] in Covenant in fa•ie visibilis Ecclesiae. To this I answer; The Covenant of Circumcision belonged to the Children of the Flesh, to Ishmael, and Esau, as well as […], who were not in the Election of Grace: therefore all those who were circumcised were not so in Covenant. Children of Unbelievers may be in that sense in Covenant as well as Children of Believers, as many of them afterwards prove to be, nay may be more of them than of the Children of Believers.

2. As touching Infants being in Covenant in facie visibilis Ecclesiae, in the face of a visible Church. I answer; Tho they were so in all the Jewish Churches under the old Covenant, some with Circumcision were brought in, and some without it; yet that Covenant and Covenant-Seed are (as I have and shall yet prove) cast out, which will be a final Answer.
