5. hCornewell and other Antinomians make arguing obedience, and persuading comforts, by inferences and consequences, works of man, not able to produce assurance; and Saltmarsh thinketh, discoursing and reasoning not enough to produce assurance of faith, and he thinks it a Legal bondage to support the soul from marks, and such things as cannot give evidence but by inferences; yet all the superstructures of faith in Gospel-obedience, as binding upon persuading, arguing, reasoning. All other assurances (saith iSaltmarsh) beside the assurance of the light of faith, such as are from marks, and love to the brethren, (that come by way of reasoning and arguing) are rotten conclusions from the Word, and such things as true legal teachers have invented, not understanding the mystery of the kingdom of Christ; then all Scripture and Gospel-arguing, are vain janglings by this.
