AN APPENDIX: Containing a Full and Modest Reply to Mr. Philip Cary's Rejoinder to my Vindiciae Legis & Foederis.
Manifesting the badness of his Cause, in the feebleness and impertinency of his Defence. And adding farther light and strength to the Arguments formerly produced in defence of God's gracious Covenant with Abraham, Gen. 17. and the right of Believers Infants to Baptism, grounded thereupon.
SIR,
NEXT to the not deserving a Reproof, is the due reception and improvement of it. You deserve a sharper reprehension for your temerity and obstinacy, than I am willing to give you from the Press. Yet in love to the Truth, and your own Soul, reprove you I must, and I hope God will ⟨p. 168⟩enable me to be both mild in the manner, and convincingly clear in the matter and cause thereof. 'Tis better to lose the Smiles, than the Souls of men. I dare not neglect the duty of a Friend, for fear of incurring the suspicion of an Enemy. Several Learned and Eminent Divines who have seen what hath publicly passed betwixt you and me, have returned me their thanks, and think you ought to thank me too for the pains I have taken to set you right, hoping you will evidence your self-denial and repentance by an ingenuous retractation of your Errors.
