1The Church of the Old Testament consisted of no other subject matter, then such as professed the Faith of the God of Israel, and their seed: And the Church of the New Testament consisteth of the like; Grounds and proofs whereof we have given above. Ishmael and Esau, when they showed themselves to be rejected of God, they were not admitted to any further Union or Communion with the Church in the Old Testament. No more were Simon Magus, Ananias and Sapphira allowed any longer Union and Communion with the Church of the New Testament, after they once showed themselves like Esau or Ishmael, to be rejected of God. But before that time Simon Magus, Ananias and Sapphira, were as well admitted into Union and Communion with the Church of the New Testament, as young Ishmael and Esau in the Old.
