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

And here I must needs again say, I know no man that hath made Scripture terms so Equivocal as Mr. Blake hath done, while he pretendeth to abhor it. Two senses of the word [sanctified, Believers, Disciples, &c.] we yield him, viz. as they signify those that are such in Heart, and those that Profess to be such in heart. But these will not serve his turn, but he must moreover have a third sort, even such as only Profess another faith short of Justifying? yea and a faith which is specifically distinct from Justifying faith, yea and that by a Physical specification (if he will be understood, for he falls upon me for making but a Gradual difference, who yet ever affirmed a Moral Specific difference.) So that we have not only many sorts of Sanctification, Faith, &c. but also of Justification too. Whether we shall have as many Salvations, and as many Heavens or not, in his sense, I yet find him not express.

But I would know why he doth so usually say that [a faith short of justifying entitleth to Baptism: and Disciples, Saints, &c. are titles that belong to more then the justified. If indeed he take his own short faith to be really justifying, and his own new made Saints to be really justified; Doth not his own ordinary appropriating the Titles of Regenerate and justified to (I know not how to call them; for he hath left me no one proper name for them that I can remember,) — to those that are the Heirs of Glory, show plainly that in the primary signification they speak only of such, even in hs own apprehension: and that therefore the words simply expressed signify no other; bare Professors of justifying faith being but seemingly, Analogically, secundum quid, — such; and his Professors of another kind of faith, being not such in either sense.
