Mr. Perkins on the Galatians, concerning the Covenant m•de with Abraham: The Seed of Abraham (saith he) is the Seed not of the Flesh, but of the Promise: And this Seed is first Christ, and then all that believe in Christ; for all these are given to Abraham by Promise and Election of God. Moreover, this Seed is not many, (as Paul observeth) but one. It is objected, that the word Seed is a Name collective, and signifies the whole Posterity of Abraham. Answ. It doth sometimes (saith he) but not always; for Eve saith of S•th, God hath given me another Seed. Again (he saith) this one particular Seed of Abraham, is Christ Jesus, here called by the Name Christ, first and principally the Mediator; and then, secondarily, all Jews and Gentiles believing that are fit and grafted into Christ by Faith. St. Paul saith, the Children of the Flesh, these are not the Children of God; but the Children of the Promise are the Seed of Abraham, Rom. 9. 8.
