§. 77.
Mr. Bl. MR. Baxters fourth and fifth Positions in the closing up of his Discourse should be considered, The Sacrament sealeth to Gods part of the Conditional Covenant, and sealeth this Conditional Promise, not Conditionally but absolutely, as of an undoubted Truth. To which an easy answer may be given, in order to a fair Reconciliation. When the Covenant ties to the Condition, and the Sacraments seal upon the same terms that the Covenant ties, the seal is properly Conditional, in case there is any such thing in the world as a Conditional seal. Neither is this Conditional Promise any absolute undoubted Truth, but upon supposal of the Condition put, and so both Promise and Seal absolutely bind.
