1It is true, I remember you alleged above, that speech of Christ to Zacheus, Luke 19.9. to prove, that when Zacheus was converted, his household was received unto a Covenant of grace and salvation: Because Christ said, This day is salvation to this house, in as much as he also is the son of Abraham; you alleged also Rom. 11.27, 28. to prove that the Jews (the posterity of Abraham) shall be converted to the faith, out of respect to the Covenant of their Fathers. And likewise you alleged the Apostles speech (in 1 Cor. 7.14.) to prove that the faith of either Parent did bring their children under the holiness of the Covenant. And I said no more but truth; that I have heard some exceptions against all these proofs.
