Motive 2. Consider that by a universal obedience to Christ, you will appear to be his Disciples indeed, and of the Remnant of the Woman's Seed, Rev. 12.17. Yea you will enter into strong bands of Alliance and Friendship with the Lord Jesus: You are my Friends (saith he) if you do whatsoever I command you, Joh. 15.14. This also will add boldness to the Saints. Then shall I not be ashamed (saith David) when I have respect to all thy Commandments.

Mot. 3. Let the Nature of the Ordinance move you to consider your fault and neglect herein; and as you desire that the Church you have given up your selves to walk in the order of the Gospel with, being knit and fitly framed together, may grow into a Holy Temple in the Lord. Be sure see there is no defect in the Foundation, take heed ⟨p. 98⟩it wants not one principal Pillar; and let none speak slightingly of this Institution, lest he provoke Jesus Christ thereby. Did he command any thing in vain? And by the same Argument you adventure to cast off this Principle, another may do so by Baptism, and consequently all the rest; and so in time God's Spiritual House be like unto the literal Temple, viz. not have one Stone left upon another which will not be thrown down.
