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

The Minor of the first Argument I prove thus. All they are visibly in the Kingdom of the Devil, or not so much as by Profession removed out of it who Profess not a removal from that condition• in which the wrath of God abideth on them, and they are excluded by the Gospel from everlasting life. But such are all that profess not a justifying faith. Therefore I express the Major two ways disjunctively, lest any should run to instances of men that are converted & have not yet had a call or opportunity to profess it. If such are not visibly in the Kingdom of the Devil, at least they are not visibly out of it. The Major is proved, in that it is the condition of the covenant of grace performed that differenceth the members of Christs Kingdom from Satan's: and so it is that condition profest to be performed that visibly differenceth them before men. It is the promise of grace that bringeth them out of Satan's Kingdom: therefore it is only done invisibly to those that profess the performance of the condition. Moreover to be out of Satan's Kingdom visibly, is to be visibly from under his Government; but those that profess not saving faith, are not visibly from under his Government. Lastly to be visibly out of Satan's Kingdom, is to be visibly freed from his power as the ⟨p. 97⟩Executioner of Gods eternal vengeance: But so are none that profess not saving faith.
