the hand and power of sin Satan death and hell bring them into his Church and kingdome by effectual calling and regeneration and to govern them by his word and spirit to life everlasting John 10.16 Haggai 2 7. Ezek. 34.23 24. Also there must be a particular and distinct knowledge in some measure of the moral law of God and of the Sacraments Of the law of God a brief sum of which we have contained in the Decalogue or Ten Commandments which contains the duty we doe owe to God and Man what is evil and what we are to repent of shun and avoid and what we are to do and practice how we are to carry our selves both towards God in all duties of piety and holiness and towards man our selves and others in the duties of mercy justice and equity The Sacraments also There must be a particular knowledge of the Sacraments of the new Testament viz. Baptism the Lords Supper Baptism is a Sacrament of our ingrafting into Christ communion with him and entrance into the Church Mat. 28.19 Rom. 6.3 4. It signifies the washing away of sin from the Soul by the blood of Christ and the renewing graces of his Spirit and so our justification and forgiveness of sinnes and our sanctification Mark 1.4 Acts 2.38 Titus 3.5 And binds all that have been baptized to believe in Christ forsake sin and live holy according to the command of God Acts 8.37 38. Mat. 3.8 Rom. 6.3 4 5. Baptism it a priviledge which belongs to all the Infants of believing Christian Parents Mark 10.13 14. When some would have hindred the Parents from bringing their young children to Christ to bless them his Disciples rebuked those that brought them but when Jesus saw it he was much displeased and said Suffer little children to come unto me and forbid them not for of such is the kingdom of God 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 of these and such like is the kingdome of God If little children 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Infants Children new borne as Luke hath it Luke 18.15 be within the Covenant as they are then they ought to have the Seal of the Covenant and if they be of Gods kingdome his subjects then they must wear his Livery and badge Infants are now as capable of receiving Baptism and the benefits of it as the Infants of the Jews were to receive Circumcision and what is now objected against Infant-baptism might as well have been alleadged against the Jews circumcising their children therefore to lay aside or deny Infant-baptism to the children of believing Christians is in effect to make themselves wiser then God I will add but one argument That which was commanded and practised by the people of God for two thousand years yea and much more was approved and commanded of God and is no where forbidden or repealed is still to be used but the sealing of the Infants of believers with the first seal of the Covenant was commanded practised by the people of God so long also approved and commanded of God and 't is no where repealed or forbidden shew it if any can therefore it is still a duty to be observed by Christian believing Parents Object It is objected that Infant-baptism is no where commanded in the new Testament nor any express example and we must do nothing without divine warrant Answ True but this is sufficient warrant to give the first seal of the Covenant to Infants was expresly commanded in the old Testament and is no where repealed or forbidden therefore a duty still as the observation of the Lords day or Christian Sabbath is by the fourth Commandment Besides there are express general commands to baptize Infants in the New Testament as Mat. 28.19 Act. 2.38 39. and general examples of whole housholds and 't is much more then probable there were many children in them let them prove the contrary if they can men had need to have cleer express Scripture to lay aside a duty commanded and approved of God so long practised by the godly by the whole Church of God It troubles me to see and hear that any professing godliness should be so far deceived and be so injurious to themselves their poor Infants as to deny to give them that priviledge and favour which undoubtedly Christ allows and intends whose grace and priviledges are not less to the children under the Gospel then to them under the Law but rather much more That place most think is full Rom. 11.17 The Gentiles being ingrafted into the true Olive-tree do partake of the root and fatness of the Olive-tree of all the priviledges of the Jews the true Church of God whereof Abraham was the root and father of which to be within the Covenant to be members of the Church of God and have the first Seal of the Covenant which now is baptism is one and when they come to years the Sacrament of the Lords supper also I will add but this If Christ under the Gospel hath barred Infants of believing Parents of the Sacrament of Baptism then it is either in mercy or in judgement let them that deny Infant-Baptism make their answer I know readily what to reply But I now study brevity brief hints onely not large treatises 2. The Sacrament of the Lords Supper is also an ordinance instituded by Jesus Christ in the same night in which he was betrayed to be a Sacrament of our continuance and growth in Christ to represent and signifie the body and blood of Christ crucifyed for our sins together with all the benefits of his suffering and death 1 Cor. 10.16 and 11.23 24 25 26. To be a special token and pledge of his great love in suffering and dying for lost and miserable sinners and enemies Rom. 5.6 7 8. The end is to confirm our faith in Christ communion with him and all saving graces in us but it cannot confirm these where they are not to keep in remembrance the Lords death until he come again and to testify our love one to another 1 Cor. 10.16 1 Cor. 11.24 26. 1 Cor. 12.13 These and all other grounds and principles of the Christian Religion at least those which are absolutely necessary to life and salvation must be known and understood for without a particular distinct knowledge of these doctrines of faith and godliness in some measure there can be neither saving faith nor repentance nor love nor holiness in truth without which there can be no salvation John 17.3 Isai 53.11 This is life eternal to know thee the only true God and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent Prov. 19.2 Without knowledge the minde is not good Hos 4.6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledg Particularly concerning the Sacrament consider 1 Cor. 11.27 29. Whosoever shall eat this bread and drink this cup of the Lord unworthily is guilty of the body and blood of the Lord and eateth and drinketh damnation to himself Mark the reason in the next words not discerning the Lords body

you all the world when he has left many even great ones as well as others to live and dye in their sins and perish in their ignorance unbelief and impenitency The Lord increase it in you daily more and more where it is begun and preserve you to his heavenly kingdom But if you be still grosly ignorant or in your unbelief and impenitency you so many of you as so continue are in the state of nature in the gall of bitterness without Christ servants to sin slaves to the Devil children of wrath and so living and dying must perish eternally Give me leave therefore plainly to tell you the truth for you will finde it so and no way possible of escaping the wrath to come if you will not believe me read your selves Psal 9.16 The wicked and all that forget God shall be turned into Hell that is all that do not so know God as to remember him and obey his command Read also Hos 4.6 2 Thes 1.7 8 9 10. Then 2. Consider the absolute necessity of divine knowledg in some degre of faith repentance love to God and men of sincere obedience to his commands and of holyness unto life and salvation For without knowledge of the doctrine of the Gospel and law also in some measure there can be no true faith nor repentance nor love nor true obedience nor holyness of heart and life no justification no pardon or forgiveness of sins nor any true peace or comfort in life nor death neither here nor hereafter To this end I beseech you read and consider seriously these and other such like places of Scripture though some of them have been mentioned already before viz. concerning the necessity of Knowledge John 17.3 Hos 4.6 2 Thes 1.7 8 9. Of Faith John 3.16 Mark 16.16 Of Repentance Luk. 13.3 5. Ezek. 18.30 31. Of new obedience to God of righteousness and holiness of heart and life Heb. 12.14 Rev. 21.8 27. and 22.14 15. 1 Cor. 6.9 10. Gal. 5.19 20 21. and 6.7 8. 3. Consider your miserable condition without some measure of knowledge faith and other saving graces and holyness If you be destitute of these and so go on still in your ignorance or unbelief and impenitency and disobedience to the commands of God there will be no hope or possibility you shall for ever be shut out of Heaven deprived of Gods favour health peace liberty ease and of all worldly good things of every good thing that may afford you any the least joy comfort ease or content moreover you cannot so living and dying escape being condemned and turned into hell when you dye there to be tormented for ever with the Devil and the damned spirits read and consider in the fear of God Mat. 25.41 46. without any hope of an end release ease or mitigation Revel 14.10 11. Luke 16.23 24 25 26. They shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation and they shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy Angels and in the presence of the Lamb the smoake of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever they have no rest day nor night O woful that word of being tormented for ever and ever is the most transcendent astonishing thing the very fore-sight or fore-thought of it is very dreadful to them that have their consciences any whit awakened See Isai 33.14 The sinners in Zion were afraid fearfulness surprized them so that they cryed out Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings If the sight or thought of it at so great a distance was so dreadful as that nothing run in their minds and mouthes but devouring fire and everlasting burnings what will the torment it self be when felt and if the pain of one member here tormented with the gout stone head-ach tooth-ach cholick or the like sometimes be so grievous especially when in an high degree which usually is but for a few hours or dayes at most what will the torments of hell be which shall continue not onely for a few daies or years but for very very many thousand and hundred thousands of years yea for ever and ever never to have any end or any the least ease or mitigation of pain no not after millions and millions of years You know the sad story or parable of the rich glutton Luke 16.19 c. who immediately after death was cast into hell and being in great torments could not obtain so much water to cool his tongue as would hang on the tip of ones finger no not of merciful Abraham his Father as he truly called him according to the flesh The Lord help you and I seriously to consider this so as to prevent it 4. Consider how long you have lived how much of your time is spent already how uncertain your life is how short it may be and how suddenly death may come on you Many in the world yea some which many of us have known have been alive and well in the morning and dead ere night and some that have gone to bed well were the next morning dead and of some alive well ill and dead in a few houres I shall privately minde you of one whom divers of you and my self very well knew an antient Gentleman of very good parts that in harvest last 1669 was in good health supt very well was very cheerful and lively walked abroad after supper his wife one or two more being present fell down suddenly dead without so much as giving a groan or sigh And as death suddenly befell him so it may do any of us that survive Oh that they were wise said God Deut. 32.29 that they understood this that they would consider their latter end But if any will not hearken to God repent and return to him but go on still in sin presuming on the mercy of God how just may it be with God and what cause is there to fear that he will not hereafter give them time to repent or else not give them the means or if both time and means yet not the grace to use that time and means so as to repent to salvation who have and do willingly neglect the present time and means We all know well enough that God himself hath said Pro. 1.24 25 26 to 32. Because I have called and ye refused I have stretched out my hand and no man regarded c. I also will laugh at your calamity I will mock when your fear cometh as a whirl-wind when distress and anguish cometh upon you Then shall they call upon me but I will not answer they shall seek me early but they shall not finde me for that they hated knowledg and did not chuse the fear of the Lord. They would none of my counsel they despised all my reproof therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way and be filled with their
