that_o they_o may_v be_v sensible_a but_o that_o before_o man_n do_v believe_v or_o be_v convert_v they_o shall_v have_v enjoyment_n of_o the_o sacrament_n be_v contrary_a to_o all_o the_o practice_n of_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n 2._o another_o mistake_n be_v this_o that_o we_o so_o straighten_v the_o ordinance_n as_o to_o shut_v out_o poor_a sinner_n from_o it_o this_o here_o and_o elsewhere_o he_o quaint_o dilate_v on_o and_o aggravate_v to_o stir_v up_o hatred_n against_o godly_a minister_n but_o sir_n i_o will_v have_v you_o know_v that_o we_o embrace_v every_o poor_a sinner_n so_o far_o as_o we_o can_v discern_v and_o they_o be_v only_o scandalous_a and_o gross_a sinner_n such_o as_o want_v feeling_n of_o sin_n and_o spiritual_a poverty_n that_o we_o willing_o exclude_v do_v you_o no_o better_o understand_v who_o be_v poor_a sinner_n alas_o poor_a froome_n have_v speak_v to_o his_o scripture_n i_o come_v next_o to_o his_o reason_n and_o consideration_n which_o be_v six_o or_o seven_o as_o he_o number_v they_o reas_n 1._o his_o first_o reason_n be_v short_o this_o the_o sacrament_n be_v a_o visible_a word_n a_o declare_v of_o christ_n crucify_v this_o sacrament_n speak_v of_o set_v forth_o christ_n to_o the_o eye_n as_o the_o gospel_n preach_v do_v to_o the_o ear_n it_o be_v only_o to_o diverse_a sense_n there_o be_v all_o the_o difference_n hence_o he_o confident_o infer_v that_o the_o same_o latitude_n must_v be_v in_o communicate_v and_o hear_v and_o here_o say_v he_o i_o stand_v as_o upon_o a_o rock_n now_o i_o shall_v try_v whether_o he_o build_v upon_o a_o rock_n indeed_o or_o upon_o the_o sand_n sir_n you_o do_v in_o this_o tell_v we_o that_o the_o forename_a ordinance_n aggree_v in_o their_o matter_n this_o be_v most_o true_a but_o that_o there_o be_v no_o difference_n between_o they_o but_o only_o in_o this_o that_o they_o be_v to_o diverse_a sense_n this_o be_v what_o you_o affirm_v but_o do_v not_o prove_v some_o difference_n beside_o in_o their_o proper_a and_o peculiar_a use_n be_v apparent_a the_o word_n serve_v to_o call_v sinner_n this_o sacrament_n to_o nourish_v and_o confirm_v believer_n multitude_n of_o authority_n even_o of_o the_o most_o learned_a and_o godly_a may_v i_o heap_v who_o be_v so_o rational_a as_o to_o reject_v this_o reason_n but_o i_o shall_v argue_v and_o reason_n out_o the_o difference_n between_o we_o in_o this_o particular_a where_o do_v you_o find_v that_o ever_o the_o sacrament_n be_v make_v use_n of_o but_o to_o confirm_v and_o comfort_v such_o as_o have_v already_o the_o effect_n of_o the_o word_n upon_o their_o heart_n therefore_o although_o the_o sacrament_n do_v represent_v christ_n to_o believer_n which_o be_v all_o you_o prove_v and_o this_o be_v not_o deny_v yet_o it_o do_v not_o follow_v but_o the_o word_n have_v a_o precedency_n and_o must_v first_o call_v and_o dispose_v before_o this_o sacramental_a declaration_n be_v propor_n for_o any_o eye_n go_v teach_v and_o boptize_v say_v out_o saviour_n first_o teach_v make_v disciple_n and_o then_o baptize_v this_o de_fw-la adultis_fw-la be_v find_v reason_v we_o must_v not_o baptize_v man_n of_o year_n much_o less_o give_v the_o lord_n supper_n without_o some_o fruit_n of_o teach_v appear_v our_o bless_a saviour_n only_a mention_n those_o two_o word_n and_o baptizme_v for_o the_o gather_n of_o church_n and_o so_o as_o the_o word_n must_v go_v before_o baptizme_v too_o as_o for_o the_o lord_n supper_n that_o follow_v both_o it_o be_v by_o the_o gospel_n phreacht_v in_o a_o proper_a

reform_v our_o congregation_n corrupt_v by_o a_o too_o long_a disuse_n of_o scripture_n discipline_n yet_o here_o to_o persecute_v this_o rational_o and_o effectual_o it_o will_v be_v necessary_a that_o we_o try_v who_o they_o be_v that_o be_v wrought_v upon_o by_o the_o word_n at_o least_o that_o we_o for_o a_o time_n keep_v off_o they_o from_o the_o ordinance_n who_o appear_v to_o be_v wicked_a one_o we_o be_v about_o i_o say_v to_o redress_v and_o perfect_a our_o church-communion_n according_a to_o the_o word_n our_o covenant_n and_o will_v of_o the_o chief_a magistrate_n now_o why_o may_v we_o not_o observe_v the_o same_o rule_n in_o reform_v which_o the_o apostle_n do_v in_o gather_v so_o then_o i_o grant_v you_o what_o your_o text_n say_v namely_o that_o the_o sacrament_n do_v declare_v christ_n crusify_v to_o believer_n but_o it_o follow_v not_o as_o i_o take_v it_o that_o it_o must_v be_v a_o proper_a ordinance_n for_o the_o ignorant_a and_o scandalous_a to_o partake_v of_o the_o word_n in_o its_o proper_a latitude_n reach_v to_o the_o world_n to_o every_o creature_n to_o the_o old_a creature_n as_o well_o as_o to_o the_o new_a but_o if_o we_o make_v the_o word_n &_o sacrament_n to_o be_v as_o you_o say_v of_o the_o same_o latitude_n we_o shall_v confound_v the_o church_n and_o world_n which_o the_o word_n distinguish_v and_o oppose_v but_o you_o say_v be_v there_o any_o to_o who_o the_o matter_n of_o the_o word_n may_v not_o be_v declare_v sir_n the_o bare_a declare_v or_o set_v forth_o of_o christ_n be_v not_o the_o thing_n we_o stand_v upon_o we_o set_v not_o bar_n to_o man_n hear_n or_o see_v but_o to_o their_o receive_n the_o sacrament_n do_v more_o than_o declare_v it_o do_v seal_n christ_n now_o this_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v do_v but_o to_o believer_n only_o i_o mean_v to_o such_o as_o in_o a_o rational_a charity_n may_v be_v judge_v such_o the_o matter_n of_o the_o gospel_n may_v be_v declare_v to_o any_o to_o the_o word_n preach_v or_o any_o other_o holy_a way_n even_o to_o the_o most_o scandalous_a if_o they_o will_v give_v it_o the_o hear_n but_o it_o do_v not_o follow_v that_o therefore_o in_o this_o ordinance_n which_o do_v not_o declare_v only_o but_o seal_v they_o shall_v have_v equal_a fellowship_n the_o declare_v or_o set_v forth_o of_o christ_n even_o to_o the_o worst_a dishonour_n not_o christ_n but_o the_o take_n of_o such_o as_o be_v scandalous_a into_o full_a communion_n and_o own_v they_o as_o member_n of_o christ_n i_o dare_v not_o say_v that_o this_o either_o please_v or_o honour_v christ_n the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o sacrament_n or_o christ_n sacramental_a may_v be_v set_v before_o they_o but_o it_o be_v their_o admission_n to_o partake_v that_o we_o oppose_v the_o sacrament_n be_v you_o say_v seal_v as_o sign_n as_o much_o as_o they_o be_v sign_n as_o seal_n it_o be_v true_a these_o two_o sign_v and_o seal_v be_v distinct_a end_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n they_o be_v sign_n
