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

Mr. Blake. If God do no more in his actual sealing to Believers than he doth when the Sacrament is rightly applied to Hypocrites, then he actually sealeth to Hypocrites: but God doth no more in his actual sealing to Believers, than he doth when the Sacrament is rightly administered to Hypocrites. The Minor is proved by the enumeration of the several acts. 1. God maketh a promise; 2. He commandeth Ministers to publish it; 3. He hath instituted the Sacraments as mutually engaging Signs or Seals; 4 He commands Ministers to deliver or apply them to those that profess their consent and desi•e to enter or renew the Covenant. Th•se two last I confess I have borrowed, and that from Mr. Baxter pag. 223. of his Infant Baptism, and whether they make for him or against him, to prove or disprove their right which he here calls Hypocrites, and distinguishes from Believers, I leave to the censure of the Intelligent Reader.
