i_o find_v the_o socinian_n notion_n too_o much_o encourage_v by_o some_o have_v very_o much_o shake_v i_o shall_v think_v what_o i_o have_v before_o say_v alone_o sufficient_a to_o answer_v mr._n b_n whole_a discourse_n concern_v they_o and_o to_o show_v it_o to_o be_v of_o no_o force_n but_o whilst_o man_n be_v make_v to_o look_v on_o sacrament_n as_o primary_o design_v to_o bind_v we_o to_o our_o duty_n to_o god_n and_o not_o rather_o as_o pledge_n and_o conveyance_n of_o his_o grace_n to_o we_o they_o be_v apt_a to_o be_v deter_v by_o have_v their_o duty_n set_v before_o they_o in_o so_o strong_a and_o the_o grace_n to_o perform_v it_o in_o so_o weak_a a_o light_n whereas_o if_o man_n look_v on_o they_o principal_o as_o tender_v of_o grace_n and_o assistance_n to_o perform_v their_o duty_n better_o and_o more_o easy_o than_o they_o do_v before_o and_o consider_v this_o as_o the_o proper_a and_o peculiar_a effect_n of_o they_o as_o sacrament_n and_o that_o which_o distinguish_v they_o from_o all_o other_o sign_n as_o i_o have_v and_o shall_v prove_v it_o be_v this_o will_v encourage_v they_o to_o come_v to_o they_o cheerful_o and_o bind_v themselves_o ready_o to_o that_o duty_n which_o they_o here_o hope_v for_o grace_n to_o discharge_v in_o which_o hope_n god_n will_v not_o deceive_v they_o but_o mr._n b._n have_v so_o order_v the_o matter_n that_o he_o have_v pervert_v most_o of_o those_o scripture_n that_o give_v we_o this_o hope_n and_o assurance_n to_o a_o quite_o different_a purpose_n so_o that_o in_o the_o relation_n i_o stand_v towards_o you_o i_o be_o oblige_v to_o instruct_v you_o in_o the_o orthodox_n sense_n of_o they_o and_o vindicate_v they_o from_o the_o socinian_n gloss_n he_o thus_o put_v on_o they_o i_o proceed_v therefore_o first_o to_o show_v you_o that_o the_o sacrament_n be_v primary_o sign_n of_o god_n grace_n and_o not_o proper_o of_o our_o duty_n though_o they_o imply_v it_o this_o i_o think_v necessary_a to_o do_v to_o make_v you_o understand_v the_o true_a nature_n of_o sacrament_n for_o otherwise_o i_o must_v let_v you_o know_v it_o be_v not_o necessary_a to_o the_o point_n in_o dispute_n about_o the_o sign_n of_o the_o cross_n for_o whether_o the_o sacrament_n be_v immediate_o sign_n of_o our_o duty_n or_o no_o it_o be_v plain_a as_o i_o shall_v show_v you_o in_o the_o second_o place_n that_o the_o scripture_n warrant_v we_o to_o use_v other_o sign_n of_o our_o duty_n beside_o they_o and_o in_o the_o three_o place_n that_o the_o cross_n be_v such_o a_o sign_n as_o the_o scripture_n warrant_v sect._n ii_o that_o the_o sacrament_n be_v primary_o sign_n from_o god_n to_o we_o of_o his_o grace_n and_o not_o proper_o of_o our_o duty_n either_o as_o require_v by_o god_n or_o profess_v by_o we_o though_o they_o imply_v it_o i._o this_o be_v plain_o the_o doctrine_n of_o our_o church_n in_o her_o catechism_n and_o article_n in_o the_o first_o she_o teach_v that_o a_o sacrament_n be_v a_o outward_a and_o visible_a sign_n of_o a_o inward_a and_o spiritual_a grace_n give_v unto_o we_o by_o god_n restrain_v the_o sign_n to_o this_o grace_n of_o god_n and_o in_o her_o article_n she_o declare_v that_o sacrament_n be_v not_o only_a badge_n or_o token_n of_o christian_n profession_n but_o rather_o they_o be_v certain_a sure_a witness_n and_o effectual_a sign_n of_o grace_n and_o god_n goodwill_n towards_o we_o by_o which_o he_o do_v work_v invisible_a in_o we_o art_n 25._o and_o again_o baptism_n be_v not_o only_o a_o sign_n of_o profession_n and_o mark_n of_o difference_n whereby_o christian_a man_n be_v discern_v from_o other_o that_o be_v not_o christen_v but_o it_o be_v also_o a_o sign_n of_o regeneration_n or_o new_a birth_n whereby_o as_o by_o a_o instrument_n they_o that_o receive_v baptism_n right_o be_v graft_v into_o the_o church_n etc._n etc._n art_n 27._o and_o further_o the_o supper_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v not_o only_o a_o sign_n of_o the_o love_n that_o christian_n ought_v to_o have_v ameng_v themselves_o one_o to_o another_o but_o rather_o it_o be_v a_o sacrament_n of_o our_o redemption_n by_o christ_n death_n insomuch_o that_o to_o such_o as_o right_o worthy_o and_o with_o faith_n receive_v the_o same_o the_o bread_n which_o we_o break_v be_v a_o partake_n of_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n etc._n etc._n art_n 28._o in_o all_o which_o place_n our_o church_n make_v the_o grace_n of_o god_n effectual_o communicate_v to_o we_o in_o the_o due_a use_n of_o the_o sacrament_n to_o be_v proper_o and_o principal_o signify_v by_o they_o to_o these_o article_n i_o suppose_v you_o do_v assent_v they_o be_v approve_v by_o the_o head_n of_o agreement_n which_o mr._n b._n assert_n to_o be_v the_o common_a principle_n wherein_o both_o the_o presbyterian_a and_o congregational_a divine_n be_v agree_v rem_fw-la p._n 142._o ii_o beside_o this_o authority_n of_o our_o church_n i_o think_v most_o divine_n that_o have_v write_v to_o purpose_n on_o this_o subject_a distinguish_v between_o the_o thing_n signify_v by_o a_o sacramental_a sign_n the_o thing_n pray_v require_v in_o we_o to_o the_o use_n of_o it_o and_o the_o benefit_n consequent_n and_o effect_n of_o it_o thus_o in_o the_o lord_n supper_n the_o thing_n proper_o and_o immediate_o signify_v be_v the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n which_o be_v therein_o

or_o effect_n of_o this_o sacrament_n be_v the_o refresh_v our_o soul_n by_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n as_o our_o body_n be_v by_o the_o bread_n and_o wine_n i_o may_v instance_n the_o same_o in_o the_o other_o sacrament_n of_o baptism_n but_o a_o example_n will_v make_v it_o plain_o for_o both_o we_o will_v suppose_v then_o a_o king_n grant_v a_o pardon_n to_o a_o rebel_n under_o the_o great_a seal_n now_o the_o great_a seal_n in_o this_o case_n signify_v as_o every_o body_n know_v the_o king_n favour_n and_o grace_n to_o the_o person_n to_o who_o it_o be_v grant_v this_o be_v

his_o liberty_n estate_n and_o life_n as_o former_o now_o if_o any_o shall_v argue_v from_o this_o that_o the_o great_a seal_n be_v a_o sign_n of_o our_o submission_n and_o allegiance_n and_o of_o the_o enjoyment_n of_o our_o liberty_n property_n etc._n etc._n it_o will_v be_v in_o effect_n the_o same_o as_o if_o they_o shall_v say_v that_o a_o red_a sky_n at_o evening_n in_o harvest_n which_o proper_o signify_v a_o fair_a day_n to_o follow_v be_v a_o sign_n of_o the_o obligation_n which_o husbandman_n lie_v under_o to_o employ_v their_o diligence_n in_o the_o season_n offer_v to_o

may_v be_v call_v distinguish_v because_o it_o signify_v and_o convey_v to_o we_o some_o privilege_n or_o benefit_n which_o effectual_o distinguish_v we_o from_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o world_n and_o oblige_v other_o to_o own_v we_o as_o so_o privilege_v thus_o the_o king_n patent_n to_o a_o nobleman_n distinguish_v he_o and_o oblige_v other_o to_o take_v notice_n of_o he_o and_o thus_o the_o regenerate_a principle_n of_o grace_n convey_v to_o we_o in_o baptism_n make_v a_o effectual_a distinction_n of_o christian_n from_o other_o man_n and_o the_o privilege_n convey_v to_o we_o thereby_o oblige_v all_o other_o christian_n to_o own_v we_o as_o fellow-member_n and_o heir_n of_o the_o same_o hope_n with_o themselves_o and_o thus_o the_o lord_n supper_n do_v likewise_o distinguish_v we_o by_o communicate_v to_o we_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o our_o saviour_n by_o which_o our_o union_n with_o christ_n be_v preserve_v and_o increase_v and_o the_o grace_n and_o privilege_n receive_v in_o baptism_n be_v renew_v strengthen_v and_o confirm_v to_o we_o i_o grant_v therefore_o that_o the_o sacrament_n be_v distinguish_v sign_n in_o this_o sense_n and_o this_o use_n of_o they_o be_v
