1. That by the Natural Branches that receive Virtue and Fatness from the Root before Christ came, were not meant the Natural Seed of Abraham, as such, because no ungodly Person did, or doth, or can receive the Virtue and Fatness of the true Olive-Tree, or saving Blessings of the Covenant of Grace God made with Abraham. What Virtue or Fatness is in a simple, external, federal Profession or Holiness, either in the Jewish or Christian Religion, as it respects only a Separation to visible Church-Membership?
2. It appears also that the Jews that believed in Christ, tho they were not broken off of the Covenant of Grace God made with Abraham, yet they and their Children stood no longer in that Legal and External Covenant of Peculiarity which God made with Abraham and the whole House of Israel, but that that old Covenant is dissolved.
3. That those Jews that believed not, and their Children, are broken off from being any more in any Covenant-Relation to God as his People, and that for their Unbelief.
