Two Covenants in Abraham

"I answer, that Abraham had the promises of both Covenants, and had also the types of both; to wit, Agar and Sarah, and so virtually he had both; but always the types go before the thing typified, and the promises before the things promised; and God saith expressly he made the first Covenant with that people, when he took them by the hand, to lead them out of the Land of Egypt: The second, or New Covenant was actually made out at the death of the Testator, Heb.9:16-17."

James Pope, The Unveiling of Antichrist (Printed by Jane Coe, for Henry Overton, 1646), 3.
