Tho he did not make void that Legal Covenant, yet he explained the nature thereof to the Jews, and showed them their great Error and Mistake about it, clearly intimating that the Covenant of Grace God made with Abraham and with his Spiritual Seed did differ, and was of another Nature with that Covenant which God made with him and his Natural Seed, as •u•h; (for saith he, God is able to raise up of these Stones C• to Abraham, meaning the Gentiles, as Expositors give it) If the Covenant of Grace made with Abraham ran only to his Fleshly Seed, as such, Why did John say God could raise up others to be his Children? even such that were not of his Natural Seed.
