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

Pag. 185. The words of mine that are cited as against my self are these [Vocation which is effectual only to bring men to an outward profession of faith, is larger then Election, and makes men such whom we are bound to baptize.] true: How unhappy am I, that must contradict my opinion in the very words which contain it! But still will you persuade men, that an outward professing of true saving faith is all one with another kind of faith (no man I think knows what) which you are busily promoting to be the Title to Sacraments?

I shall not stand to search Mr. Blake's book for more of my self-contradictions, or trouble the Reader with a further vindication: For in thus much he may see the face of the rest, and discern the judiciousness and equity of the Charge.

But as Mr. Blake dealeth by me, so doth he by the Authors whom he allegeth for his opinions, as pag. 152.153, 154, 155. and elsewhere: He sticks not to cite them as owning his cause, who in the very words recited by him, do condemn it. For in those words they make the Church as visible to consist of professors as distinct from true believers, and know no members but true Christians and Hypocrites (who therefore pretend to that Faith which they have not: or else how are they Hypocrites?) And whats this to Mr. Blake's new visible members ⟨p. 243⟩
