christ_n death_n as_o he_o die_v outward_o may_v be_v forget_v but_o if_o by_o the_o lord_n death_n be_v understand_v his_o outward_a death_n by_o as_o good_a reason_n by_o his_o come_n be_v understand_v his_o outward_a come_n sect_n vii_o have_v thus_o show_v the_o invalidity_n of_o his_o proof_n that_o by_o the_o lord_n be_v come_v be_v understand_v his_o inward_a come_n into_o their_o heart_n and_o not_o his_o outward_a come_n i_o shall_v give_v some_o clear_a reason_n why_o it_o must_v be_v understand_v his_o outward_a come_n at_o the_o general_a judgement_n the_o first_o reason_n be_v because_o the_o reason_n of_o the_o command_n continue_v to_o his_o last_o outward_a come_n the_o command_n do_v also_o continue_v for_o so_o long_o do_v any_o command_n continue_v in_o force_n as_o the_o reason_n of_o it_o continue_v but_o the_o reason_n of_o the_o command_n do_v this_o in_o remembrance_n of_o i_o etc._n etc._n do_v continue_v to_o christ_n last_n outward_a come_n which_o reason_n be_v this_o that_o by_o that_o practice_n they_o may_v remember_v the_o lord_n death_n and_o not_o only_o remember_v it_o but_o show_v it_o forth_o public_o declare_v and_o profess_v it_o and_o the_o inestimable_a benefit_n they_o have_v by_o it_o now_o put_v the_o case_n that_o any_o have_v so_o good_a and_o live_a remembrance_n of_o it_o that_o they_o need_v not_o the_o outward_a thing_n to_o put_v they_o in_o remembrance_n thereof_o yet_o that_o be_v not_o enough_o to_o answer_v the_o reason_n and_o end_v of_o the_o command_n which_o be_v by_o this_o outward_a practice_n to_o show_v it_o forth_o and_o declare_v it_o by_o a_o public_a profession_n that_o they_o owe_v remission_n of_o sin_n and_o salvation_n to_o the_o crucify_a jesus_n and_o that_o they_o be_v not_o ashamed_a to_o own_o and_o confess_v he_o their_o saviour_n their_o king_n their_o priest_n and_o prophet_n and_o in_o token_n thereof_o they_o give_v testimony_n of_o their_o obedience_n to_o these_o his_o peculiar_a positive_a law_n and_o institution_n of_o water-baptism_n and_o the_o supper_n for_o if_o these_o be_v reject_v by_o the_o same_o method_n man_n may_v reject_v all_o other_o his_o positive_a institution_n relate_v to_o external_n practice_n of_o religion_n and_o so_o turn_v the_o christian_a religion_n into_o mere_a deism_n and_o pagan_a morality_n the_o second_o reason_n be_v that_o the_o end_n of_o this_o institution_n be_v a_o solemn_a commemoration_n of_o christ_n death_n and_o sacrifice_n which_o he_o offer_v up_o to_o god_n for_o our_o sin_n above_o sixteen_o hundred_o year_n ago_o and_o of_o the_o great_a spiritual_a blessing_n we_o have_v thereby_o there_o be_v the_o same_o cause_n and_o end_v for_o it_o to_o continue_v to_o our_o day_n and_o to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n as_o when_o it_o be_v first_o appoint_v have_v it_o be_v indeed_o only_o a_o prenuniciative_a sign_n of_o some_o thing_n to_o come_v or_o of_o the_o hide_a invisible_a substance_n as_o w._n penn_n term_n it_o mean_v thereby_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n within_o at_o the_o come_n of_o the_o spirit_n within_o into_o their_o heart_n the_o sign_n may_v have_v cease_v as_o the_o prenunciative_a sign_n of_o christ_n outward_a come_n in_o the_o flesh_n be_v to_o cease_v after_o his_o outward_a come_n and_o according_o do_v cease_v but_o the_o sign_n of_o water-baptism_n and_o the_o supper_n as_o command_v by_o christ_n and_o practise_v by_o the_o apostle_n be_v not_o such_o prenunciative_a sign_n of_o the_o come_n of_o his_o spirit_n within_o they_o but_o be_v chief_o commemorative_a sign_n of_o he_o as_o he_o have_v come_v for_o both_o of_o they_o be_v appoint_v by_o he_o when_o he_o be_v come_v and_o the_o institution_n of_o baptism_n be_v appoint_v by_o he_o after_o his_o death_n and_o resurrection_n the_o institution_n of_o the_o supper_n so_o near_o to_o his_o death_n that_o it_o be_v in_o the_o very_a night_n when_o he_o be_v betray_v and_o at_o which_o time_n he_o have_v the_o great_a sense_n and_o weight_n of_o his_o suffering_n upon_o he_o and_o as_o then_o in_o great_a part_n begin_v and_o because_o the_o use_n of_o those_o sign_n of_o bread_n and_o wine_n the_o bread_n be_v break_v and_o the_o wine_n pour_v out_o be_v a_o solemn_a commemoration_n of_o his_o have_v give_v his_o body_n to_o be_v break_v for_o

or_o this_o be_v the_o inward_a visible_a hide_a substance_n that_o you_o shall_v afterward_o receive_v but_o this_o be_v my_o body_n take_v eat_v and_o though_o they_o be_v not_o to_o eat_v his_o body_n with_o the_o carnal_a mouth_n but_o only_o the_o bread_n which_o signify_v it_o yet_o by_o faith_n they_o be_v to_o eat_v his_o body_n that_o be_v to_o say_v they_o be_v to_o partake_v of_o a_o

plentiful_o of_o his_o grace_n and_o spirit_n as_o the_o consequent_a and_o effect_v of_o that_o union_n with_o he_o therefore_o they_o be_v not_o so_o to_o mind_v the_o effect_n as_o to_o neglect_v the_o great_a cause_n of_o that_o effect_n which_o great_a cause_n be_v his_o give_v his_o body_n to_o be_v break_v for_o they_o and_o his_o blood_n to_o be_v shed_v for_o to_o mind_n only_o the_o

spiritual_a eye_n of_o believer_n be_v to_o be_v to_o the_o grace_n and_o gift_n of_o christ_n so_o especial_o and_o chief_o to_o he_o from_o and_o by_o who_o they_o have_v they_o and_o their_o

from_o and_o by_o who_o we_o derive_v our_o several_a measure_n of_o the_o same_o the_o three_o reason_n be_v this_o when_o christ_n give_v the_o cup_n he_o say_v this_o cup_n be_v the_o new_a testament_n in_o my_o blood_n shed_v for_o the_o remission_n of_o the_o sin_n of_o many_o now_o how_o be_v that_o cup_n the_o new_a testament_n sure_o no_o other_o way_n but_o as_o a_o obsignatory_a sign_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n obsignate_v to_o believer_n remission_n of_o sin_n by_o his_o blood_n outward_o shed_v which_o new_a testament_n have_v in_o it_o the_o force_n and_o essence_n of_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n which_o god●●keth_v ●●keth_z with_o believer_n through_o christ_n the_o mediator_n of_o it_o and_o as_o christ_n have_v confirm_v this_o covenant_n of_o grace_n and_o testament_n with_o his_o blood_n that_o be_v shed_v once_o for_o we_o so_o he_o have_v give_v to_o believer_n this_o obsignate_a pledge_n of_o it_o by_o way_n of_o investiture_n as_o when_o a_o man_n have_v a_o estate_n of_o land_n convey_v to_o he_o and_o get_v the_o investiture_n of_o it_o it_o be_v by_o some_o outward_a sign_n as_o here_o in_o england_n in_o some_o place_n by_o deliver_v to_o he_o twig_n and_o turf_n and_o as_o king_n be_v invest_v with_o their_o kingly_a power_n by_o have_v oil_n pour_v on_o they_o and_o as_o aaron_n be_v invest_v into_o the_o office_n of_o priesthood_n and_o indeed_o all_o covenant_n that_o ever_o god_n make_v with_o any_o people_n have_v always_o be_v by_o some_o outward_a obsignatory_a thing_n as_o in_o his_o covenant_n he_o make_v with_o noah_n he_o give_v the_o bow_n in_o the_o cloud_n for_o the_o token_n of_o that_o covenant_n in_o the_o covenant_n with_o abraham_n he_o give_v the_o sign_n of_o circumcision_n which_o by_o a_o metonymy_n be_v call_v god_n covenant_n in_o scripture_n also_o the_o sacrifice_n under_o the_o law_n be_v sign_n of_o obsignatory_n of_o god_n covenant_n with_o they_o who_o offer_v those_o sacrifice_n and_o in_o all_o the_o covenant_n that_o we_o read_v of_o in_o scripture_n that_o any_o of_o the_o father_n make_v with_o the_o neighbour_a prince_n or_o inhabitant_n there_o be_v obsignatory_a sign_n and_o

pledge_n or_o sign_n outward_o to_o be_v see_v give_v by_o the_o one_o party_n to_o the_o other_o insomuch_o that_o it_o seem_v to_o be_v a_o general_a instinct_n in_o mankind_n or_o at_o least_o the_o equivalent_a of_o it_o a_o universal_a custom_n receive_v and_o practise_v even_o among_o

heathen_n as_o to_o my_o certain_a knowledge_n it_o be_v among_o the_o american_n heathen_n who_o in_o all_o their_o covenant_n make_v use_v of_o sign_n for_o the_o great_a security_n and_o confirmation_n thus_o in_o the_o 50th_o psalm_n it_o be_v say_v gather_v my_o saint_n together_o who_o have_v make_v a_o covenant_n with_o i_o by_o sacrifice_n v_o 5._o and_o if_o any_o shall_v be_v so_o stiff_a and_o pertinacious_a as_o to_o deny_v that_o outward_a sign_n be_v necessary_a to_o the_o confirmation_n of_o covenant_n universal_o yet_o the_o case_n be_v plain_a here_o as_o to_o the_o supper_n for_o christ_n himself_o have_v say_v it_o this_o cup_n be_v the_o new_a testament_n in_o my_o blood_n etc._n etc._n which_o must_v have_v this_o meaning_n that_o the_o cup_n be_v christ_n testament_n as_o circumcision_n be_v god_n covenant_n with_o abraham_n and_o his_o seed_n for_o so_o it_o be_v call_v in_o scripture_n that_o be_v to_o say_v the_o cup_n be_v a_o sign_n of_o christ_n testament_n and_o of_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n that_o god_n have_v make_v with_o believer_n through_o christ_n the_o mediator_n of_o it_o but_o if_o any_o object_n this_o will_v seem_v to_o make_v the_o outward_a baptism_n and_o supper_n of_o so_o great_a necessity_n as_o that_o it_o can_v be_v say_v that_o the_o covenant_n be_v due_o confirm_v without_o they_o betwixt_o god_n and_o believer_n ans_fw-fr it_o show_v indeed_o a_o great_a necessity_n of_o they_o as_o in_o respect_n of_o any_o people_n be_v in_o covenant_n with_o god_n in_o a_o visible_a way_n of_o a_o church_n and_o as_o member_n of_o a_o visible_a church_n or_o society_n well_o and_o due_o constitute_v for_o all_o the_o member_n of_o a_o visible_a church_n as_o they_o be_v in_o covenant_n with_o god_n inward_o by_o the_o faith_n and_o obedience_n of_o their_o heart_n so_o they_o be_v in_o covenant_n with_o he_o outward_o by_o the_o confession_n of_o their_o mouth_n and_o other_o external_n act_n of_o religion_n whereby_o they_o declare_v their_o profess_a subjection_n to_o he_o and_o to_o his_o law_n hence_o we_o find_v in_o scripture_n that_o not_o only_a faith_n be_v require_v in_o order_n to_o salvation_n but_o confession_n also_o and_o that_o confession_n be_v not_o only_o with_o the_o mouth_n but_o by_o external_n work_v of_o the_o body_n proceed_v from_o a_o live_a principle_n of_o faith_n in_o the_o heart_n among_o which_o work_n be_v the_o external_n practice_n of_o outward_a baptism_n and_o the_o supper_n where_o they_o can_v be_v due_o have_v whereby_o they_o declare_v their_o subjection_n to_o the_o positive_a law_n and_o institution_n of_o christ_n and_o thereby_o distinguish_v themselves_o from_o either_o jew_n or_o pagan_n who_o may_v be_v moral_a man_n and_o profess_v faith_n and_o religion_n towards_o god_n as_o a_o creator_n and_o yet_o be_v profess_v enemy_n to_o the_o christian_a faith_n such_o as_o many_o jew_n and_o heathen_n be_v in_o the_o

they_o do_v make_v the_o distinction_n betwixt_o true_a christian_n and_o jew_n and_o heathen_n much_o more_o apparent_a for_o if_o these_o external_n practice_n institute_v by_o christ_n be_v lay_v

of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n in_o prayer_n be_v a_o badge_n of_o their_o christianity_n i_o answer_v in_o part_n it_o be_v so_o but_o not_o in_o full_a or_o in_o the_o whole_a for_o he_o that_o
