ARGUMENT VII.
Mr. Blake. Children of the Kingdom of God, or those that are Subjects of his Kingdom, have right in the sight of God to be received into his Kingdom. This Proposition Mr. Baxter hath proved, pag. 21. therefore I may save my pains. But those that are short of faith that Justifies, are Children or Subjects of this Kingdom, Mat. 8.12. The Children of the Kingdom shall be cast into outer darkness. Those therefore that are short of Justifying faith, have right in the sight of God to be thus received.
