these_o four_o consideration_n 1_o that_o we_o find_v that_o the_o gospel_n be_v to_o be_v preach_v to_o every_o creature_n and_o a_o baptise_v they_o which_o on_o the_o same_o ground_n in_o a_o orderly_a way_n include_v this_o sacrament_n with_o it_o join_v as_o large_o in_o the_o same_o commission_n 2_o that_o as_o the_o gospel_n be_v to_o all_o so_o it_o offer_v christ_n free_o now_o can_v any_o avouch_v that_o a_o poor_a soul_n may_v take_v christ_n free_o without_o qualification_n which_o be_v true_a be_v regard_n of_o any_o precedent_a merit_n so_o there_o be_v a_o present_a give_v up_o himself_o to_o he_o sincere_o as_o his_o lord_n and_o saviour_n and_o yet_o let_v none_o but_o such_o as_o be_v qualify_v to_o their_o mind_n be_v admit_v to_o receive_v he_o at_o the_o sacrament_n be_v christ_n offer_v as_o a_o free_a gift_n in_o the_o word_n and_o must_v we_o not_o come_v without_o our_o price_n and_o money_n to_o this_o ordinance_n why_o this_o be_v even_o as_o they_o conceive_v of_o judas_n who_o be_v about_o to_o sell_v our_o saviour_n go_v out_o to_o make_v his_o bargain_n at_o the_o supper_n 3_o that_o the_o gospell-way_n be_v the_o best_a way_n to_o bring_v in_o soul_n unto_o christ_n let_v a_o man_n be_v full_o convince_v of_o the_o free_a grace_n of_o god_n in_o christ_n his_o heart_n can_v stand_v it_o out_o no_o long_o against_o his_o conversion_n now_o when_o the_o word_n be_v preach_v the_o covenant_n open_v and_o the_o seal_n too_o apply_v this_o message_n of_o reconciliation_n come_v in_o its_o full_a virtue_n for_o the_o work_a this_o conviction_n and_o faith_n unto_o salvation_n 4_o that_o the_o gospel_n be_v a_o peaceable_a gospel_n a_o embassy_n of_o peace_n now_o how_o shall_v this_o peace_n be_v keep_v if_o where_o it_o come_v it_o go_v to_o make_v separation_n at_o this_o ordinance_n may_v a_o poor_a soul_n say_v o_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n though_o i_o can_v lay_v claim_n unto_o thou_o as_o a_o saint_n i_o can_v as_o sinner_n i_o mean_v as_o a_o wound_a sinner_n who_o thou_o come_v to_o save_v and_o shall_v none_o but_o saint_n apparent_a be_v suffer_v to_o come_v unto_o he_o hither_o in_o a_o word_n be_v the_o gospel_n peaceable_a convert_v free_a universal_a what_o be_v the_o gospel_n but_o a_o declare_v christ_n crucify_a and_o what_o be_v the_o sacrament_n in_o the_o matter_n and_o content_n of_o it_o but_o the_o very_a same_o if_o paul_n can_v tell_v we_o what_o it_o be_v 1_o cor._n 11.26_o therefore_o there_o ought_v to_o be_v a_o free_a admission_n to_o it_o as_o to_o the_o gospel_n provide_v only_o i_o mean_v still_o
miracle_n have_v be_v mean_n to_o some_o of_o their_o religion_n and_o conversion_n we_o can_v doubt_v but_o the_o eye_n may_v much_o more_o splritual_o instruct_v we_o here_o in_o the_o melt_a object_n of_o christ_n passion_n redemption_n and_o tender_a mercy_n outward_o represent_v see_v we_o hope_v the_o work_n of_o the_o spirit_n too_o by_o virtue_n of_o a_o ordinance_n as_o at_o the_o word_n christ_n come_v into_o the_o heart_n by_o the_o sense_n of_o hear_v so_o at_o the_o supper_n by_o the_o sense_n of_o see_v touch_v and_o taste_v let_v the_o world_n answer_v paul_n argument_n to_o show_v forth_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n be_v the_o mean_n of_o conversion_n the_o sacrament_n be_v the_o show_v forth_o his_o death_n 1._o cor._n 11.26_o therefore_o as_o it_o do_v so_o it_o

mean_v of_o grace_n it_o be_v but_o in_o a_o remote_a sense_n they_o be_v mean_n of_o conversion_n or_o confirmation_n for_o this_o grace_n we_o receive_v in_o the_o use_n of_o they_o be_v that_o which_o convert_v some_o and_o strengthen_v other_o now_o than_o we_o come_v to_o this_o sacrament_n as_o the_o mean_n to_o receive_v god_n grace_n and_o this_o grace_n which_o he_o distribute_v as_o a_o most_o wise_a god_n work_v in_o every_o one_o as_o his_o state_n and_o need_n require_v in_o the_o convert_v for_o their_o strength_n and_o establishment_n and_o in_o the_o unregenerate_a for_o their_o conversion_n 2._o consider_v what_o be_v conversion_n there_o be_v a_o outward_a conversion_n from_o heathenism_n to_o the_o profession_n of_o christ_n we_o do_v not_o stand_v to_o say_v the_o sacrament_n be_v such_o a_o convert_v ordinance_n as_o if_o christ_n shall_v bid_v we_o go_v forth_o with_o this_o sacrament_n and_o convert_v the_o nation_n let_v this_o be_v imagine_v only_o of_o

of_o grace_n or_o true_a conversion_n wrought_v through_o the_o word_n itself_o not_o from_o any_o active_a power_n it_o have_v per_fw-la se_fw-la upon_o the_o soul_n but_o per_fw-la modum_fw-la

this_o sacrament_n show_v forth_o christ_n crucify_a according_o to_o the_o covenant_n who_o be_v the_o true_a object_n of_o faith_n and_o life_n upon_o this_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n draw_v the_o

hereby_o convert_v what_o difference_n be_v there_o imaginable_a between_o this_o conversion_n and_o at_o the_o word_n what_o a_o shift_n be_v it_o to_o say_v it_o be_v only_o at_o and_o not_o by_o

that_o it_o be_v more_o proper_o at_o than_o by_o the_o word_n itself_o there_o be_v no_o active_a virtue_n but_o of_o the_o spirit_n in_o the_o one_o or_o the_o other_o 3._o as_o for_o this_o scruple_n of_o the_o sacrament_n be_v occasional_o not_o intentional_o convert_v there_o may_v be_v a_o principal_a intention_n and_o subordinate_a more_o primary_n or_o secondary_a end_n in_o a_o
