5. Of the riches of Gods mercies to his children, we nothing doubt: but what doth this prejudice the absoluteness of reprobating those whom he never meaneth to make his children? But here it is to be suspected, that this Author accounts all and every one the children of God; for forthwith he confounds this notion with the notion of creatures, quite contrary to the most general current of Scripture, not of the New Testament only, which teacheth us, that we are the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. Gal. 3. and if children then heirs, even heirs of God, and heirs annexed with Christ. Rom. 8. But of the old Testament also. Gen. 6: 2. The sons of God saw the daughters ⟨p. 134⟩of men that they were fair, &c. Exod. 4. 22. Thou shalt say to Pharaoh, thus saith the Lord, Israel is my Son, my first borne; wherefore I say, let my Son go that he may serve me: if thou refuse to let him go, behold I will visit thy Son, even thy first borne. Deut. 14. 1. Ye are the children of the Lord your God. 2. Thou art an holy people to the Lord thy God, and the Lord hath chosen thee to be a precious people to himself, above all the people that are upon the earth.
