The Second BOOK. The Arguments of Mr. Vines, Mr. Baxter, and Mr. Charnock, Answered.

MR. Vine's first Argument. No Effects can be ascribed to this Sacrament of the Supper, that fall not under the signification of it: One thing is not signifyed and another wrought. But the Conversion of a Sinner is not signifyed by this Sacrament of the Supper.
