SECT. CXIV.
R. B. Quest. 7. IS [a transeunt fact, making Infants Church-members without Law, Promise, or Covenant] a sufficient medium to encourage you to venture on all these horrid things, and run such hazards us you have done? Or is it possible that an humble sober man, and a tender conscience, durst make all this havoc, and stand out in it so many years considerately as you have done, and this upon such a palpably unreasonable pretence? When you should prove to us the revocation of Infants Church-membership, to tell us that they had it only by a transeunt fact? Is this a safe ground to build so great a weight on? Sir, my conscience witnesseth, that it is not your reproach that is the end of speaking these unpleasing words to you, but some compassion on you (do not scorn it) and more on your poor followers; and most on the Church of God which you have so much injured and troubled.
