Oh what shiftings and shufflings, what base unworthy tergiversations hath God found among us, to elude and evade this solemn service! Indeed he said, he would bring his People into the Bond of the Covenant, but if he would have the most part of the People among us, enter into Covenant with him, he must drive them into the Bond of the Covenant. Are not these of the kindred of the Scribes and Lawyers, of whom it is said, when they were invited unto Baptism, 1which (was the Seal of the Covenant) they rejected the Counsel of God against themselves, being not Baptized, &c. And may not the Ministers of the Gospel answer this Generation in some such Language; as the Apostles did the unbelieving Jews, who spake against the things which were spoken by Paul, contradicting and blaspheming, 2even as these men do.
