You say, the Jews and their Children were broke off, and the Gentiles and their Children were received into the same Privileges which the Jews had, &c.
Answer 1. If you would prove that the Gospel-Church is National, consisting of whole Parishes, Families and Kingdoms, you must bring Proof for this Constitution from the New Testament: Show, where Christ instituted or ordained such a Church-state, or what whole Gentile Nations, consisting of Believers and their Children, and Unbelievers or ungodly Persons professing Christianity, and their Children, were constituted by the Apostles a Gospel-Church; for evident it is, all believing or godly Jews and their Children, and all ungodly Jews who owned the Jewish Religion, and their Children, were ⟨p. 139⟩Members of the National Church of Israel under the Law.
2. Also prove, that if such a Gospel-Church Constitution can be proved out of the New Testament, that therefore all the external Privileges and Rites of the Jews, must belong unto such a Gentile Nation, and Gospel-Church, that did belong to the National Church of the Jews. Must they have the same Rites and Privileges, and yet not the same? Is Baptism Circumcision?
