to_o salvation_n but_o no_o man_n make_v this_o profession_n that_o profess_v not_o save_v faith_n and_o repentance_n therefore_o no_o man_n that_o profess_v not_o save_v faith_n and_o repentance_n be_v true_o a_o disciple_n of_o christ_n the_o major_a be_v evident_a in_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o relation_n the_o minor_a be_v as_o evident_a in_o that_o it_o be_v a_o act_n of_o save_a faith_n and_o repentance_n to_o forsake_v other_o teacher_n and_o to_o take_v christ_n for_o our_o sole_a or_o chief_a teacher_n in_o order_n to_o salvation_n 2._o no_o man_n be_v true_o a_o christian_n that_o profess_v not_o to_o take_v christ_n for_o his_o lord_n and_o king_n forsake_v his_o enemy_n but_o no_o man_n do_v this_o but_o the_o professor_n of_o a_o save_a faith_n therefore_o etc._n etc._n 3._o no_o man_n be_v a_o true_a christian_n that_o profess_v not_o to_o take_v christ_n for_o his_o redeemer_n who_o have_v make_v propitiation_n for_o sin_n by_o his_o blood_n and_o to_o

the_o major_a of_o all_o these_o three_o argument_n be_v further_o prove_v thus_o no_o man_n be_v profess_o a_o christian_n that_o profess_v not_o to_o accept_v of_o christ_n as_o christ_n or_o to_o believe_v in_o christ_n as_o christ_n but_o no_o man_n do_v profess_v to_o take_v christ_n as_o christ_n that_o profess_v not_o to_o take_v or_o accept_v he_o as_o his_o priest_n teacher_n and_o king_n therefore_o etc._n etc._n the_o major_n be_v plain_a in_o itself_o the_o minor_a be_v as_o plain_a it_o be_v essential_a to_o christ_n to_o be_v the_o priest_n prophet_n and_o king_n and_o from_o these_o essential_n relate_v to_o we_o and_o accept_v by_o we_o do_v our_o own_o denomination_n of_o christian_n arise_v and_o that_o a_o bare_a assent_n without_o acceptance_n do_v not_o

solemn_o into_o the_o christian_a state_n then_o be_v it_o not_o to_o be_v give_v to_o they_o that_o be_v not_o so_o much_o as_o christian_n by_o profession_n and_o furthermore_o if_o a_o faith_n defective_a in_o the_o assent_a part_n about_o the_o essential_n of_o its_o object_n serve_v not_o to_o denominate_v a_o man_n just_o a_o christian_a than_o a_o faith_n defective_a in_o the_o consent_v or_o accept_v part_n above_o the_o essential_n of_o the_o object_n serve_v not_o to_o denominate_v a_o man_n a_o christian_a but_o the_o antecedent_n be_v true_a therefore_o so_o be_v the_o consequent_a the_o antecedent_n be_v prove_v because_o else_o the_o turk_n be_v christian_n because_o they_o believe_v so_o many_o and_o so_o great_a thing_n of_o christ_n and_o else_o a_o man_n may_v be_v a_o christian_n that_o deny_v christ_n death_n or_o resurrection_n or_o other_o essential_n of_o christianity_n the_o consequence_n be_v good_a for_o christianity_n be_v as_o true_o and_o necessary_o in_o the_o will_n as_o in_o the_o understanding_n consent_n be_v as_o essential_a a_o act_n of_o covenant_v as_o any_o so_o that_o i_o may_v conclude_v that_o as_o he_o be_v no_o christian_a that_o profess_v not_o to_o believe_v that_o christ_n be_v the_o priest_n prophet_n and_o king_n so_o he_o be_v no_o christian_a that_o profess_v not_o to_o consent_v and_o accept_v he_o for_o his_o priest_n prophet_n and_o king_n the_o fourteen_o argument_n be_v this_o our_o divine_n ordinary_o charge_v wicked_a man_n with_o contradiction_n of_o profession_n which_o be_v make_v in_o baptism_n and_o they_o expound_v many_o place_n of_o scripture_n which_o the_o arminian_n take_v as_o favour_v their_o cause_n to_o be_v mean_v according_a to_o the_o profession_n of_o wicked_a man_n

present_a then_o without_o a_o engagement_n to_o believe_v hereafter_o the_o antecedent_n be_v prove_v thus_o there_o be_v no_o one_o word_n in_o scripture_n either_o of_o precept_n or_o example_n

which_o we_o have_v no_o scripture_n ground_n to_o require_v let_v master_n baxter_n show_v but_o one_o word_n in_o scripture_n to_o prove_v this_o if_o he_o can_v that_o any_o person_n in_o baptism_n
