ARGUMENT X.
Mr. Blake. Christians have right in the sight of God to Baptism; This is Mr. Baxter's Proposition in the page before quoted; and in reason is plain; Christians must not be kept out of Christian fellowship. This is Mr. Baxter's likewise in the place quoted; he makes Disciples Christians, and subjects of Christs visible Kingdom to be one and the same. Therefore those that are short of Justifying faith have Right, &c.
