of_o discretion_n and_o profess_v the_o true_a religion_n the_o doctor_n have_v write_v very_o understand_o and_o inform_o concern_v the_o covenant_n and_o the_o manner_n how_o it_o be_v seal_v and_o yet_o he_o fall_v off_o in_o his_o conclusion_n and_o application_n exclude_v the_o unregenerate_a in_o the_o church_n from_o the_o sacramental_a seal_n who_o yet_o he_o allow_v to_o be_v object_n of_o covenant_n grace_n say_v that_o only_o the_o elect_a and_o person_n effectual_o call_v be_v the_o object_n and_o yet_o he_o intimate_v that_o the_o elect_v unregenerate_a be_v the_o object_n of_o initial_a grace_n and_o that_o grace_n and_o faith_n be_v a_o part_n of_o the_o covenant_n seal_v by_o the_o sacrament_n and_o yet_o he_o will_v not_o have_v those_o receive_v that_o have_v not_o this_o faith_n and_o grace_n though_o promise_v in_o the_o covenant_n and_o seal_v in_o the_o sacrament_n but_o if_o the_o elect_a before_o conversion_n be_v in_o the_o writing_n and_o in_o the_o

other_o act_n according_o in_o administer_a the_o seal_n in_o baptism_n be_v they_o within_o the_o covenant_n then_o by_o virtue_n of_o a_o visible_a profession_n in_o their_o parent_n and_o upon_o

that_o those_o that_o be_v in_o the_o state_n of_o nature_n be_v out_o of_o the_o covenant_n and_o the_o gross_o ignorant_a be_v such_o etc._n etc._n and_o therefore_o to_o be_v deny_v the_o

promise_n of_o give_v the_o first_o grace_n in_o the_o church_n where_o the_o ordinary_a mean_n of_o work_v that_o grace_n be_v than_o person_n in_o the_o state_n of_o nature_n and_o unregenerate_a in_o the_o church_n be_v the_o immediate_a object_n of_o those_o promise_n before_o other_o out_o of_o the_o church_n but_o there_o be_v a_o present_a and_o immediate_a object_n of_o those_o promise_n in_o the_o church_n that_o be_v under_o covenant_n ordinance_n except_o the_o day_n of_o god_n give_v the_o first_o grace_n be_v pass_v in_o the_o church_n therefore_o those_o in_o the_o state_n of_o nature_n and_o unregenerate_a in_o the_o church_n be_v the_o present_a and_o most_o immediate_a object_n of_o those_o promise_n in_o the_o covenant_n of_o god_n give_v the_o first_o grace_n as_o for_o those_o in_o the_o church_n that_o have_v the_o first_o grace_n already_o they_o can_v be_v the_o proper_a object_n of_o it_o in_o the_o promise_n and_o those_o that_o be_v out_o of_o the_o church_n not_o have_v the_o ordinary_a mean_n of_o put_v those_o promise_n into_o performance_n can_v be_v the_o present_a and_o most_o immediate_a or_o most_o likely_a object_n for_o as_o touch_v the_o

therefore_o the_o unregenerate_a in_o the_o church_n be_v the_o present_a and_o most_o proper_a object_n of_o those_o promise_n and_o consequent_o of_o sacrament_n that_o seal_v to_o the_o truth_n of_o those_o promise_n and_o for_o those_o that_o will_v not_o allow_v man_n in_o the_o state_n of_o nature_n and_o unregenerate_a to_o be_v of_o the_o church_n they_o will_v allow_v the_o covenant_n a_o full_a object_n in_o the_o church_n and_o for_o particular_a sin_n and_o personal_a miscarriage_n in_o the_o church_n we_o be_v to_o make_v no_o difference_n in_o the_o regenerate_a and_o unregenerate_a there_o be_v the_o same_o rule_n to_o guide_v we_o in_o deal_v with_o both_o but_o let_v none_o mistake_v i_o when_o i_o say_v the_o unregenerate_a in_o the_o church_n be_v the_o

but_o such_o there_o be_v in_o the_o visible_a church_n which_o by_o nature_n be_v as_o bad_a as_o any_o other_o and_o in_o no_o consideration_n differ_v from_o the_o worst_a of_o man_n consider_v in_o themselves_o but_o be_v simple_a sinner_n whole_o lose_v with_o the_o rest_n of_o fall_v mankind_n that_o which_o make_v the_o difference_n be_v out_o of_o themselves_o it_o be_v the_o mere_a

equal_a in_o sin_n and_o misery_n so_o that_o when_o we_o shall_v come_v to_o judge_v of_o person_n in_o the_o church_n under_o the_o most_o evident_a character_n of_o unregeneracy_n yet_o we_o may_v not_o exclude_v they_o from_o be_v object_n of_o covenant_n grace_n and_o mercy_n nor_o from_o the_o seal_n and_o pledge_n of_o that_o grace_n and_o mercy_n during_o their_o abode_n in_o the_o church_n and_o the_o church_n indulgence_n towards_o they_o in_o a_o word_n nothing_o exclude_v from_o covenant_n relation_n but_o the_o sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n which_o i_o fear_v many_o of_o our_o blasphemous_a sectary_n be_v guilty_a of_o and_o positive_a unbelief_n such_o as_o be_v in_o the_o harden_a and_o obstinate_a jew_n who_o deny_v the_o holy_a one_o and_o true_a messiah_n

and_o conscience_n and_o i_o think_v the_o unregenerate_a in_o the_o church_n have_v as_o much_o need_n of_o be_v teach_v christ_n crucify_v by_o the_o visible_a sign_n as_o any_o other_o and_o they_o have_v as_o much_o need_n of_o the_o benefit_n and_o advantage_n of_o their_o outward_a sense_n as_o the_o regenerate_a and_o more_o they_o be_v more_o dull_a and_o slow_a of_o spirit_n to_o
