Reliquiæ Baxterianæ, or, Mr. Richard Baxters narrative of the most memorable passages of his…

who expoundeth the Text of Church-Communion, and such Communion as cannot consist with Excommunicating from the Sacrament of the Eucharist, or the other heavy Penalties upon Ministers and People which we now plead against, as may be seen in these his plain Expressions. V. 1. [And for the preserving of that Christian Charity among all mentioned Solemnly Cb. 13. 8, 9, 10. (vid. loc.) I shall enlarge to give these Rules. The Jewish Believer—on the other side the Gentile Believers seeing the Jewish stand upon such things—are apt to separate—and so betwixt one and other the Communion is like to be broken. —The Scrupulous or Erroneous Judaizer—do the Gentiles not reject, but receive to your Communion: Yet not so that he thereby thinks himself encouraged or authorized to quarrel with other Mens Resolutions—and to condemn others—V. 3. The Scrupulous Judaizer must not reject and cast out of his Communion the Gentile Christian—for God hath admitted him into his Church (without laying that yoke upon him) as a Servant into his Family, and he is not to be excluded by the Judaizer for such things as these—V. 4. What Commission hast thou, O Jewish Christian, to judge God's Servant, received and owned by him, to exclude him out of the Church.—God is able to clear him, if he please, and he certainly will, having by receiving him into his Family given him this liberty—V. 5.—In such things every Man must act by his own, and not by another Man's Judgment or Conscience, what he is verily persuaded he ought to do; and therefore Unity and Charity ought not to be broken by you for such things—V. 6, 7. and this sure is well done on both sides. For no Man of us is to do what he himself likes best, but what he thinks is most acceptable to God. —V. 9. And all the Fruit of Christ's Death and Suffering and Resurrection, which accrues to him, is only this, that he may have Power and Dominion over us all, to command or give what liberty he pleaseth. V. 10. But why dost thou Jewish condemn the Gentile Christian, or exclude him from thy Communion, because ⟨p. 356⟩he useth his Christian Liberty, &c. Or thou Gentile Christian, why dost thou think it a piece of senseless Stupidity in the Jew to abstain, and thereupon despite and vilify him, which also is a kind of judging him: Whereas indeed neither of you is to be the Judge of the other, but Christ of you both—V. 13.
