§. 67.
Mr. Bl. That it sealeth not to the truth of the minor Proposition, But I believe, (he says) is beyond dispute, giving in his reasons. It should seal then to that which is not written; for no scripture saith, that I do believe; so certainly Sacraments do seal; they seal to that which is not directly written, they seal with particular application, but the man to whom they are applied hath not his name in scripture written; they seal to an individual person, upon the Warrants of a general Promise: though I do not say that Proposition is sealed; yet me thinks this reason is scarce cogent.
