Certain disputations of right to sacraments, and the true nature of visible Christianity defending…

Argum. 1. If we must not baptize any who profess not true Repentance, then must we not baptize any that profess not ⟨p. 54⟩saving faith. But the Antecedent is true (speaking of the Adult. Concerning whom as the more noble subject we shall carry on the Argumentation for brevity: still implying the l•ke necessity of their professing saving faith, for their children's baptism as for their own) therefore &c.

The Consequence of the Major, I prove thus. 1. True repentance and saving faith are inseparable; therefore if one be of necessity, so is the other, and the profession of true Repentance cannot be separated from the profession of saving faith; therefore if one be necessary, so is the other. Some learned Divines take repentance and faith to be all one; some take repentance to be part of faith: but all take it to be as inseparable from it. It were easy by describing the requisite Professions of both to show that they are so interwoven, that no man can profess the one without the other: but I think it is needless, because few will deny it. By Repentance here I mean that true Evangelical Repentance which is a special grace of God accompanying salvation; and not any common preparatory Repentance.
