§. 65.
Mr. Bl. OR in case the Soul frame any Argumentation, I suppose it is to be conceived to this purpose; If God give me Christ, he will give me Justification and Salvation by Christ; but God gives me Christ; therefore he will give me Justification and Salvation. The major is supposed not sealed: the minor is there sealed: The Elements being tendered by the Minister in Gods stead, and received with my hand, I am confirmed that God gives Christ to my Faith: And the minor being sealed, the Conclusion eo nomine is sealed. The proof of any proposition in a Syllogism, is in order to the proof of the Conclusion; and so the sealing of any proposition is in order to the sealing of the Conclusion; which indeed Mr. Baxter grants; where he says that the Proposition that God sealeth to runs thus, If thou do believe, I do pardon thee, and will save thee: Yet several passages in that Discourse, are I confess beyond my weak apprehension.
