ordinance_n of_o god_n a_o duty_n enjoin_v such_o who_o receive_v the_o gospel_n and_o what_o can_v be_v more_o say_v if_o it_o be_v a_o duty_n enjoin_v it_o be_v a_o necessary_a duty_n etc._n etc._n wherefore_o i_o shall_v only_o add_v for_o confirmation_n some_o argument_n as_o follow_v viz._n arg._n 1._o if_o the_o non-subjection_n to_o baptism_n debar_v man_n from_o church-communion_n then_o the_o subjection_n thereto_o be_v necessary_a in_o order_n to_o church-communion_n but_o the_o non-subjection_n to_o baptism_n debar_v man_n from_o church-communion_n ergo._n the_o major_n be_v undeniable_a the_o minor_a i_o shall_v prove_v thus_o arg._n 2._o if_o the_o walk_a disorderly_a not_o according_a to_o the_o tradition_n receive_v from_o the_o apostle_n debar_v man_n from_o church-communion_n then_o the_o non-subjection_n to_o baptism_n debar_v man_n from_o church-communion_n but_o the_o walk_a disorderly_a not_o according_a to_o the_o tradition_n receive_v from_o the_o apostle_n debar_v man_n from_o church-communion_n ergo._n the_o minor_a be_v prove_v 2_o thess_n 3.6_o where_o the_o apostle_n command_v that_o all_o who_o walk_v disorderly_a not_o according_a to_o their_o tradition_n shall_v be_v debar_v communion_n the_o major_n i_o prove_v thus_o arg._n 3._o if_o the_o non-subjection_n to_o baptism_n be_v a_o disorderly_a walk_n not_o according_a to_o the_o tradition_n of_o the_o apostle_n then_o the_o major_n be_v true_a but_o the_o non-subjection_n to_o baptism_n be_v a_o disorderly_a walking_z not_o according_a to_o the_o tradition_n of_o the_o apostle_n ergo._n nothing_o in_o this_o argument_n can_v be_v question_v except_o the_o minor_a and_o that_o sure_o can_v be_v deny_v by_o john_n bunyan_n with_o who_o i_o have_v now_o to_o deal_v for_o by_o his_o own_o confession_n pag._n 64._o baptism_n be_v a_o ordinance_n of_o jesus_n christ_n a_o holy_a ordinance_n of_o god_n pag._n 123._o and_o that_o of_o excellent_a use_n to_o instruct_v in_o the_o most_o weighty_a matter_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n p._n 65._o a_o enjoin_v duty_n p._n 122._o a_o apparent_a tradition_n of_o the_o apostle_n for_o in_o those_o day_n he_o confess_v pag._n 70._o it_o be_v administer_v upon_o conversion_n and_o use_v then_o to_o go_v before_o church-communion_n again_o arg._n 4._o if_o the_o non-subjection_n to_o baptism_n be_v a_o sin_n against_o god_n a_o reject_v the_o counsel_n of_o god_n against_o ourselves_o and_o the_o breach_n of_o a_o good_a conscience_n then_o it_o debar_v man_n from_o church-communion_n but_o the_o non-subjection_n to_o baptism_n be_v a_o sin_n against_o god_n a_o reject_v the_o counsel_n of_o god_n against_o ourselves_o and_o the_o breach_n of_o a_o good_a conscience_n ergo._n the_o major_n i_o think_v none_o can_v deny_v and_o the_o minor_a be_v evident_a by_o john_n bunyan_n own_o confession_n as_o aforesaid_a and_o the_o scripture_n before_o allege_v matth._n 28.19_o &_o 7.29_o 1_o pet._n 3.21_o further_o arg._n 5._o if_o all_o church-member_n in_o the_o apostle_n day_n be_v baptize_v then_o baptism_n be_v necessary_a to_o church-communion_n but_o all_o church-member_n in_o the_o apostle_n day_n be_v baptize_v ergo._n one_o will_v think_v this_o argument_n shall_v put_v the_o matter_n out_o of_o doubt_n both_o proposition_n be_v acknowledge_v by_o john_n bunyan_n himself_o yea_o urge_v by_o he_o as_o weighty_a truth_n for_o he_o make_v the_o example_n of_o the_o primitive_a new-testament-churche_n the_o ground_n of_o his_o communion_n p._n 52._o yea_o so_o far_o that_o he_o say_v he_o dare_v not_o do_v otherwise_o than_o they_o do_v and_o if_o we_o follow_v that_o rule_n propose_v by_o himself_o we_o must_v not_o do_v otherwise_o and_o what_o then_o sure_o they_o baptize_v all_o church-member_n before_o communion_n as_o he_o confess_v pag._n 91._o but_o that_o i_o may_v not_o conclude_v with_o the_o confession_n of_o a_o man_n so_o various_a although_o it_o may_v well_o be_v allege_v against_o himself_o as_o in_o one_o little_a treatise_n to_o speak_v so_o many_o inconsistency_n i_o shall_v proceed_v to_o another_o argument_n arg._n 6._o if_o all_o church-member_n be_v command_v to_o be_v baptize_v then_o the_o subjection_n to_o baptism_n be_v necessary_a to_o church-communion_n but_o all_o church-member_n be_v command_v to_o be_v baptize_v ergo._n the_o major_n be_v apparent_a the_o minor_a i_o prove_v thus_o arg._n 7._o if_o baptism_n be_v command_v to_o all_o disciple_n then_o it_o be_v command_v to_o all_o church-member_n but_o baptism_n be_v command_v to_o all_o disciple_n ergo._n no_o man_n can_v doubt_v of_o the_o truth_n of_o the_o major_n that_o believe_v church-member_n to_o be_v disciple_n which_o i_o suppose_v no_o christian_a in_o his_o right_a mind_n will_v deny_v and_o the_o minor_a i_o shall_v prove_v from_o the_o word_n of_o christ_n matth._n 28.19_o 20._o go_v teach_v all_o nation_n baptise_v they_o etc._n etc._n the_o text_n be_v read_v ãâã_d ãâã_d ãâã_d ãâã_d ãâã_d etc._n etc._n ãâã_d ãâã_d ãâã_d ãâã_d ãâã_d which_o be_v interpret_v be_v disciple_n you_o all_o nation_n baptise_v they_o etc._n etc._n viz._n those_o that_o be_v disciple_v as_o by_o the_o grammatical_a construction_n of_o the_o word_n may_v appear_v teach_v they_o that_o be_v the_o baptize_v disciple_n to_o observe_v or_o keep_v diligent_o all_o thing_n whatsoever_o i_o have_v command_v you_o one_o whereof_o be_v to_o baptize_v those_o that_o be_v disciple_v but_o it_o seem_v that_o either_o j._n b._n be_v never_o a_o baptize_v disciple_n or_o that_o his_o instructor_n forget_v to_o teach_v he_o this_o rule_n of_o christ_n or_o else_o he_o have_v soon_o forget_v what_o he_o learn_v if_o it_o be_v not_o a_o perverse_a transgress_v of_o what_o he_o know_v and_o so_o guilty_a of_o many_o stripe_n luk._n 12.47_o but_o to_o return_v since_o john_n bunyan_n be_v please_v notwithstanding_o his_o aforementioned_a confession_n to_o deny_v baptism_n to_o be_v the_o rule_n of_o communion_n let_v we_o hear_v what_o rule_n he_o will_v have_v which_o he_o thus_o declare_v pag._n 78._o even_o that_o rule_n by_o which_o they_o be_v discover_v to_o the_o church_n to_o be_v visible_a saint_n and_o willing_a to_o be_v gather_v into_o their_o body_n and_o fellowship_n answ_n well_o say_v but_o how_o must_v that_o be_v if_o not_o by_o obedience_n to_o christ_n ordinance_n to_o the_o holy_a ordinance_n of_o god_n yea_o the_o principle_n of_o the_o doctrine_n of_o christ_n be_v not_o the_o subject_n thereto_o a_o discovery_n of_o a_o visible_a saint_n and_o a_o willingness_n to_o be_v gather_v into_o the_o body_n even_o the_o church_n john_n bunyan_n to_o this_o pag._n 79._o answer_n no_o it_o be_v not_o say_v he_o the_o practise_v of_o a_o circumstantial_a but_o the_o commendation_n of_o their_o faith_n by_o the_o word_n of_o faith_n and_o their_o conversation_n by_o a_o moral_a precept_n wherefore_o he_o tell_v we_o pag._n 79._o that_o when_o paul_n have_v declare_v his_o faith_n he_o fall_v down_o to_o the_o body_n of_o the_o law_n say_v receive_v we_o we_o have_v wrong_v no_o man_n

pag._n 79._o that_o by_o the_o word_n of_o faith_n and_o good_a work_n viz._n moral_a duty_n gospelize_v we_o ought_v to_o judge_v of_o the_o fitness_n of_o member_n by_o which_o we_o ought_v also_o to_o receive_v they_o into_o fellowship_n answ_n we_o read_v that_o moses_n put_v a_o vail_n over_o his_o face_n to_o hinder_v the_o splendour_n of_o his_o countenance_n from_o dazzle_v the_o eye_n
