But for the children of this Covenant (of whom Isaac was a type) they are not only such as are Regenerate, above the ordinary course of Nature, by virtue of the Covenant of Grace, and so do believe in the promise of Grace for righteousness and salvation; but also the children of such believing Parents, whom their Parents do beget in the Faith of the Covenant and Promise of Grace to themselves and their seed. For Isaac himself when he was an Infant born, he was not as then born anew of the promise and spirit of Grace, but his Father begot him in the Faith of the Promise. And his Mother Sarah by Faith received strength to conceive seed, because she judged him faithful who had promised, Heb. 11.11.
