Now.

and
the violent
take
ii
by force
:
This Kingdome
of
Heaven
it
is
therefore
the. Race
of
the
Gofpell
:
And
in
this
fence
I
take
it that that
is
meant,
when they brought
little
children
to Chrift,
faith

frrf
er
little
children
to
come
unto
me:
for
to
them
belongs
the Kingdome
of
Heaven, he doth not meane
that
fome
of them
fhall goe
to
Heaven, but thus,
as
if
Chriff
ilavuld fay, in
the
times of the
law; I
there did not
only
take
beleevers, but their feed to
have
the priviledges of
that
Rate
under
that
adminifiratibn,
of
the
good
things
that were
in
the
law;
Therefore doe
not now
think that
when
I
am come
to
fet up another
Kirì
dome,that
ilk
take beleevers
now and rejeCt
their feed,no,fufer
themto
come
unto
me,
for
unto
thet
belongs
the
Iingdome
of
Heaven,
and
they are members
of
this Kingdome
that I
am now
fetting up,
as
well
as
they were members of
the
Jwith
Church,
and
had
the
benefit
of
that
adminif}ration
;
fo
shall
they
be members
and
patcakers
of
the
Plate
that
now
.I
am
letting up, together
with
thenriviledges of
it,
and
therefore
Puffer
them
to
come
to
me,ile
min
them
to
be
fuch

whombelongs
the Kiigdome
of
Heaven, and
therefore let them not
be excluded
any
more
from this flat
