§. 67.
R. B. You deny not my assertion, but argue against the reason of it; as before by telling us what you thought, so here by affirming the contrary certain, you attempt the confutation of mine. To your instance I give these two returns 1. It is equivocation, when our question is of sealing to a thing as the subjectum obsignatum, for to instance in sealing to a person as the finis cui. ⟨p. 126⟩The seal, that is to application as an end, not to application as the subject sealed. 2. But if you respect not the person as the end of application, but as the party expressed in the Promise which is sealed, then I say, If you can prove that the universal Proposition doth not in sense contain the singulars, so that this singular, If thou believe thou shalt be saved, be not in Moral Law sense contained in this universal, All that believe shall be saved, (the Law supposing them all to be men and sinners) then I will prove, that God doth not properly seal to the singulars; But till then I suspend.
