§. 66.
Mr. Bl. HE that Believeth is Justified and shall be saved; is his major Proposition. This he saith is sealed unquestionably: when indeed I have ever thought, and yet think, that it is not at all sealed. Sacraments seal not to the truth of any general Proposition, but with particular application as they are dispensed, so they seal; but they are applied particularly, Take, Eat, &c. This Mr. Baxter seeth pag. 69. and therefore in that absolute universal Proposition, he finds a particular Conditional Promise, to which he saith God sealeth: If thou believe, I do pardon thee and will save thee.
