in_o the_o first_o person_n i_o and_o in_o i_o he_o can_v mean_v this_o of_o his_o own_o person_n but_o of_o his_o church_n doctrine_n and_o religion_n according_a as_o the_o circumstance_n of_o the_o

and_o the_o great_a prophet_n and_o teacher_n of_o it_o as_o these_o man_n do_v as_o will_v appear_v more_o in_o what_o follow_v second_o i_o observe_v that_o we_o be_v unite_v to_o christ_n and_o

three_o to_o make_v this_o yet_o more_o clear_a we_o must_v consider_v what_o be_v mean_v by_o the_o church_n in_o this_o question_n now_o the_o general_a notion_n of_o a_o church_n be_v a_o

and_o save_v some_o particular_a man_n but_o to_o erect_v a_o church_n and_o to_o unite_v all_o his_o disciple_n to_o himself_o in_o one_o body_n be_v so_o very_o evident_a that_o be_v not_o man_n act_v by_o faction_n and_o interest_n it_o can_v admit_v no_o serious_a dispute_n all_o the_o metaphor_n which_o describe_v our_o union_n to_o christ_n do_v primary_o refer_v to_o the_o christian_a church_n as_o i_o observe_v before_o christ_n be_v the_o head_n and_o the_o church_n his_o body_n and_o the_o apostle_n tell_v we_o that_o there_o be_v but_o one_o body_n and_o that_o he_o be_v the_o

solution_n to_o all_o mr._n ferguson_n argument_n whereby_o he_o prove_v that_o communion_n with_o a_o particular_a church_n can_v be_v the_o medium_n of_o a_o christian_n union_n to_o christ._n though_o i_o never_o assert_v this_o any_o other_o way_n than_o as_o communion_n with_o a_o particular_a church_n where_o it_o may_v be_v have_v be_v essential_a to_o our_o union_n with_o the_o universal_a church_n but_o let_v we_o hear_v what_o he_o say_v first_o there_o may_v be_v some_o individual_a christian_n where_o there_o be_v no_o particular_a institute_v church_n of_o christ_n into_o which_o they_o can_v be_v admit_v then_o if_o they_o be_v christian_n they_o be_v unite_v to_o the_o universal_a church_n but_o there_o can_v be_v no_o particular_a church_n without_o the_o pre-existence_n of_o individual_a believer_n right_o but_o every_o individual_a believer_n be_v not_o a_o christian_n till_o he_o be_v incorporate_v into_o the_o christian_a church_n faith_n be_v necessary_a to_o qualify_v a_o man_n for_o admission_n into_o the_o church_n but_o though_o god_n may_v dispense_v with_o extraordinary_a case_n yet_o ordinary_o faith_n alone_o do_v not_o make_v a_o man_n a_o christian_n as_o appear_v from_o the_o three_o proposition_n we_o must_v believe_v and_o be_v baptize_v if_o we_o will_v be_v save_v for_o baptism_n ordinary_o incorporate_v we_o into_o the_o christian_a church_n to_o which_o alone_o the_o promise_n of_o salvation_n be_v make_v and_o whereas_o a_o late_a author_n think_v to_o evade_v the_o force_n of_o this_o argument_n by_o observe_v that_o our_o saviour_n 9_o add_v but_o he_o that_o believe_v not_o shall_v be_v damn_v mark_v 16._o 16_o so_o that_o man_n shall_v be_v damn_v mere_o upon_o account_n of_o their_o unbelief_n and_o not_o mere_o for_o want_v of_o baptism_n provide_v they_o have_v faith_n it_o be_v on_o the_o contrary_a very_o evident_a that_o no_o such_o thing_n can_v be_v conclude_v from_o our_o saviour_n word_n he_o first_o lay_v down_o the_o term_n of_o salvation_n faith_n and_o baptism_n and_o methinks_v those_o man_n make_v very_o bold_a with_o our_o saviour_n who_o affirm_v that_o we_o may_v be_v ordinary_o save_v for_o our_o saviour_n speak_v here_o of_o ordinary_a case_n without_o baptism_n but_o then_o he_o add_v who_o shall_v be_v damn_v and_o they_o be_v unbeliever_n of_o two_o sort_n such_o infidel_n as_o refuse_v baptism_n and_o such_o unbeliever_n as_o be_v baptize_v so_o that_o he_o that_o believe_v not_o shall_v be_v damn_v signify_v that_o though_o faith_n and_o baptism_n be_v necessary_a to_o salvation_n yet_o unbelief_n alone_o whether_o man_n be_v baptize_v or_o not_o shall_v damn_v they_o for_o i_o will_v ask_v this_o author_n whether_o suppose_v that_o our_o

have_v be_v proper_a for_o he_o to_o have_v add_v but_o he_o that_o believe_v not_o and_o be_v not_o baptize_v shall_v be_v damn_v which_o will_v have_v damn_v only_o unbaptise_v infidel_n and_o have_v give_v too_o great_a reason_n to_o baptize_v hypocrite_n and_o unbeliever_n to_o hope_v for_o salvation_n but_o to_o return_v to_o mr._n ferguson_n his_o second_o argument_n be_v this_o that_o christian_n may_v be_v oblige_v upon_o their_o loyalty_n to_o christ_n to_o renounce_v communion_n not_o only_o with_o the_o particular_a church_n with_o which_o they_o have_v walk_v but_o to_o

be_v their_o vindication_n and_o this_o will_v not_o prejudice_v their_o union_n to_o the_o invisible_a catholic_n church_n but_o i_o hope_v all_o good_a christian_n will_v be_v more_o wary_a of_o this_o than_o our_o author_n and_o his_o friend_n be_v for_o humour_n and_o frowardness_n and_o interest_n will_v not_o justify_v a_o separation_n his_o three_o argument_n be_v of_o the_o same_o nature_n and_o needs_o no_o other_o answer_n that_o christian_n may_v be_v injurious_o cast_v out_o of_o the_o communion_n not_o only_o of_o one_o but_o of_o every_o particular_a church_n and_o yet_o remain_v unite_v to_o christ_n if_o they_o be_v injurious_o cast_v out_o it_o shall_v be_v no_o prejudice_n to_o they_o for_o christ_n will_v reverse_v all_o unjust_a sentence_n such_o man_n be_v still_o unite_v to_o christ_n and_o therefore_o be_v unite_v to_o his_o body_n the_o catholic_n invisible_a church_n but_o what_o he_o add_v that_o a_o man_n may_v be_v just_o seclude_v for_o a_o

of_o all_o antiquity_n and_o make_v the_o censure_n of_o the_o church_n vain_a and_o useless_a thing_n what_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o that_o authority_n our_o saviour_n have_v grant_v to_o his_o

all_o divine_v indeed_o grant_v that_o whatever_o be_v do_v errante_fw-la cleave_v through_o ignorance_n and_o mistake_n or_o for_o some_o worse_a reason_n be_v rectify_v by_o christ_n but_o to_o

of_o the_o church_n before_o he_o be_v a_o member_n of_o the_o church_n as_o for_o what_o
god_n etc._n etc._n i_o observe_v before_o that_o baptism_n admit_v we_o into_o the_o catholic_n church_n visible_a or_o invisible_a and_o admit_v we_o into_o particular_a church_n as_o member_n of_o the_o universal_a church_n which_o signify_v no_o more_o than_o that_o by_o virtue_n of_o our_o be_v member_n of_o the_o universal_a church_n we_o have_v a_o right_n and_o be_v under_o a_o obligation_n to_o visible_a communion_n with_o any_o particular_a church_n wherein_o we_o live_v if_o there_o be_v no_o just_a and_o necessary_a cause_n to_o hinder_v it_o let_v we_o hear_v now_o how_o mr._n ferguson_n disprove_v this_o he_o tell_v we_o that_o baptism_n be_v not_o the_o medium_n of_o our_o union_n with_o the_o catholic_n visible_a church_n he_o shall_v say_v the_o rite_n and_o

how_o do_v he_o prove_v this_o because_o there_o have_v be_v many_o who_o partly_o through_o want_n of_o opportunity_n to_o enjoy_v the_o ordinance_n of_o baptism_n partly_o through_o other_o motive_n though_o they_o be_v not_o justifiable_a have_v deny_v themselves_o the_o mercy_n of_o the_o baptismal_a laver_n and_o yet_o to_o suppose_v that_o thereupon_o they_o be_v not_o christian_n be_v to_o

almost_o as_o many_o absurdity_n as_o word_n he_o attempt_v to_o disprove_v the_o receive_a doctrine_n of_o the_o church_n by_o a_o judgement_n of_o charity_n so_o that_o if_o a_o man_n will_v not_o be_v very_o charitable_a his_o argument_n be_v worth_a nothing_o and_o indeed_o his_o argument_n do_v as_o often_o need_v the_o exercise_n of_o charity_n as_o most_o i_o ever_o meet_v with_o and_o yet_o in_o the_o next_o breath_n he_o charge_v those_o with_o guilt_n who_o condemn_v they_o who_o the_o lord_n have_v receive_v but_o if_o god_n receive_v they_o be_v only_o a_o judgement_n of_o

the_o least_o word_n to_o prove_v it_o but_o suppose_v that_o we_o be_v so_o charitable_a as_o to_o hope_v that_o god_n may_v receive_v they_o yet_o how_o do_v this_o make_v they_o member_n of_o the_o catholic_n visible_a church_n to_o be_v sure_a they_o be_v not_o visible_a member_n of_o any_o church_n for_o if_o they_o be_v they_o will_v not_o need_v the_o judgement_n of_o charity_n to_o make_v

those_o who_o refuse_v to_o be_v baptize_v upon_o unjustifiable_a reason_n certain_o be_v never_o receive_v into_o the_o catholic_n visible_a church_n which_o never_o own_v any_o member_n but_o those_o who_o be_v baptize_v though_o they_o may_v be_v entertain_v in_o private_a clan_n and_o conventicle_n but_o be_v not_o this_o a_o pretty_a argument_n against_o baptism_n be_v the_o regular_a
