§. 60.
R. B. I Need not transcribe these words, being of another, and not spoke to me. But I will pass my conjecture to his questions. 1. I conjecture that the Querist by Evading, meant Owning and Justifying the fact, and so evading the blame. 2. To the second I conjecture the Querist had been lately conversant ⟨p. 116⟩in Mr. Blake's book, and so it was in his memory: and whether he knew what those whom you mention do hold I cannot tell. 3. To the third; If by Sacramental sealing, you mean Conditional sealing, I conjecture his conceit might be this, that as the Promise may be conditionally tendered to Infidels, Murderers, or any other▪ so might the Seal, if it were but Conditional as the Promise. As we may say to the worst; If thou wil• believe, thou shalt be saved; so might we conditionally seal salvation to him. But I take this to be a great mistake.
