But again, secondly; Is it said in 1 Cor. 11.24. in so many plain words, Let all Believers eat the Lord's Supper, or in Acts 2.41, 42? The Pedobaptists say, how can you prove by so many plain words, that Women received the Lord's Supper? I grant 'tis easy to prove they did, yet when they demand such plain Texts for it, how do you answer them? is it not by Inferences? And I see not how such Answers do in the least betray the truth, or the justice of our Cause; as do not our Answers to such Queries so usually brought by those that assert Pedobaptism confute us, as you are pleased to say p. 54. for we are not in the least against drawing of Inferences, or natural Consequences from the Scripture. And would not you allow any Pedobaptist to urge a ⟨p. 43⟩Text of Scripture, and infer what he will from it for his Practice, provided it may naturally be inferred or drawn from the Premises or Text he brings? surely you, as well as we, will readily give him that liberty. But when Men shall mention Scriptures to prove their Principles or Practice by, and infer this or that from them, to the palpable wronging and wresting of the Text, it being as far from the intent of the Spirit of God therein as the East is from the West, as the Consequences and Inferences brought from Circumcision, and federal Holiness, to prove Infants Baptism; they are such kind of Inferences we declare against. But we need not trouble our selves with things of this nature, having the holy Scriptures so plain for our Practice, as Acts 8.17. Acts 19.6. and Heb. 6.1, 2. where it is called a Foundation-Principle of the Doctrine of Christ.
