And if amongst these to whom the word of the Covenant comes,¹ some are externally only, and never saved, Matth. 22.14. Rom. 9.6, 7. Others internally personally and really in Covenant and saved; why but some may be neither ways in Covenant, if they never heard the word of the Covenant, and if the Heathen and Americans were under the Covenant of Grace Preached to them in that sound, that goes to the end of the world. Why, but Moab, Ammon, and Assyrians, Philistines, Chaldeans, Persians, are the Israel of God, his chosen people, his Zion, and must not the principal promise of the Covenant be made to them? and are we not to believe that God will write his Law in the hearts of Cain, Pharaoh, Saul, Doeg, Ahab, Judas, Magus, and of Moabites, Ammonites, Egyptians, and of all and every one of mankind, if they be in Covenant with him? Contrary to Psa. 147.19, 20. Hos. 8.12. Exo. 20.1.
