of_o sign_n may_v be_v proper_a to_o baptism_n and_o the_o lord_n supper_n but_o the_o plain_a answer_n be_v that_o no_o sacrament_n except_v those_o two_o have_v a_o visible_a sign_n general_o necessary_a to_o salvation_n n._n without_o order_n there_o can_v be_v no_o ministry_n without_o the_o ministry_n no_o visible_a church_n without_o which_o there_o can_v be_v no_o ordinary_a

their_o necessity_n against_o which_o i_o thus_o argue_v those_o thing_n without_o which_o salvation_n may_v be_v obtain_v be_v not_o necessary_a to_o salvation_n but_o such_o be_v the_o sacrament_n ergo._n i._o i_o thus_o encounter_v your_o mayor_n those_o thing_n without_o which_o salvation_n may_v be_v obtain_v be_v not_o necessary_a to_o salvation_n but_o without_o miracle_n salvation_n may_v be_v have_v and_o therefore_o micracle_n even_o those_o of_o christ_n shall_v be_v needless_a to_o salvation_n n._n miracle_n be_v no_o ordinary_a mean_n to_o salvation_n but_o extraordinary_a i._o so_o sacrament_n be_v not_o extraordinary_a sacrament_n which_o heresy_n deni_v all_o outward_a sacrament_n but_o direct_v and_o ordinary_a mean_n for_o unless_o you_o be_v a_o swingfeldian_a you_o

minor_n do_v at_o once_o appease_v in_o their_o colour_n n._n my_o second_o reason_n be_v this_o thing_n necessary_a to_o salvation_n do_v confer_v grace_n but_o sacrament_n do_v not_o and_o so_o be_v not_o necessary_a i._o your_o mayor_n be_v not_o well_o poise_v for_o be_v therefore_o the_o sabbath_n needless_a to_o salvation_n because_o it_o do_v not_o confer_v grace_n again_o your_o minor_a want_n the_o bridle_n of_o bondage_n and_o limit_v distinction_n for_o though_o sacrament_n do_v not_o active_o physical_o and_o by_o infusion_n confer_v grace_n yet_o none_o but_o public_a enemy_n to_o all_o sacrament_n will_v deny_v that_o they_o bring_v grace_n passive_o and_o by_o the_o assistance_n of_o the_o concurrent_a spirit_n of_o god_n even_o as_o the_o circle_n of_o magician_n and_o

strike_v now_o that_o sacrament_n be_v necessary_a to_o salvation_n it_o appear_v by_o three_o thing_n first_o because_o they_o be_v god_n ordinance_n and_o so_o most_o needful_a second_o because_o they_o be_v mark_n of_o the_o church_n visible_a out_o of_o who_o bosom_n there_o be_v no_o ordinary_a salvation_n three_o because_o faith_n be_v begin_v in_o baptism_n and_o strengthen_v in_o the_o
