Ergo, The Natural or Fleshly Seed of Believers are cast out, or not to be admitted into the Gospel-Church. See Gal. 4. 22, 23, 24, 25, 26. For it is written that Abraham had two Sons, the one by a Bond-woman, the other by a Free-woman. Ver. 24. Which things are an Allegory; for these are the two Covenants; the one from Mount Sinai, which gendereth to Bondage, which is Hagar, &c. Ver. 30. Nevertheless, what saith the Scripture? Cast out the Bond-woman and her Son▪ for the Son of the Bond-woman shall not be Heir with the Son of the Free-woman.
1. By Hagar is meant, all agree, the old Covenant; and by casting her out, is held forth the abolishing, or taking away of the old Covenant. He took away the first, that he might establish the second; Heb. 10. 9.
2. By Ishmael is meant the Natural Seed of Abraham, and so the Natural Seed of all Godly Men of his Race that succeeded him, who were Members of that Church. And as the late Annotators note, by this place is signified the total Destruction of the Jewish Church, which consisted of Parents and their Children, or the whole Nation of Israel. This Church and Church-Seed, and manner of Church-Membership is cast out and gone for ever.
