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

The fifth Argument is to the same purpose with the former, as Mr. Blake reciteth it, and therefore I shall say no more to it, his answer requiring no more. The sixth Argument he passeth by himself.¹

1. 1Galaspie's Argum. 5. & 6. defended.

The 7. Argument is from the Necessity of a wedding garment:¹ I confess I do not think that it is the Sacrament only that is meant by tha• feast: but it is Christ as offered in the Gospel with his benefits, which in the Sacrament is specially represented: and coming in, is their coming into the visible Church by Profession; and the scope of the Parable is to show these two things. 1. That he tha• invited them to come in, did intend that they must come in that case, and with that preparation as is answerable to the nature of the feast, and is for the Honour of the Bridegroom or Master of the Feast: and therefore they should so have come. 2. That because they so came not, they shall only suffer as those that came not, but also be cast out into a greater degree of misery, that is, because they come not with an upright, penitent, true believing heart, disposed to Obedience. Now the thing that Mr Blake should answer, is, whether it be not hence proved that men should have the Wedding garment of sincere faith before they come into the visible Church (they or their Parents) and much more before the Lords Supper? God saith, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having on a Wedding garment? But of this more anon.
