An appeal to the learned. Being a vindication of the right of visible saints…

Answ. The thing to be enquired into is. What is this Feast that the guests were invited to? Mr. M. supposes it to be the Lords Supper: that is easier a great deal then to prove it. It is abundantly manifest that Christ Jesus, and Pardon & Salvation are ⟨p. 4⟩the Feast, that they were invited to, & not the Sacrament of the Lords Supper: the Messengers of God are sent to invite men to this Feast: and I think he will not say, that the great errand of the Ministry is to invite men to the Lords Supper: besides this is a Feast that the Jews were invited to from Generation to Generation, long before the Lords-Supper was Instituted. The Jews were those that were bidden: v. 3. He sent forth his Servants to those that were bidden, to the Wedding, and they would not come: One set of Servants after another were sent unto them: v. 4. Again he sent other Servants: First he sent the Prophets and then the Apostles, after this the Gentiles were invited to the same Feast, v. 9. Go ye into the high ways, & as many as ye shall find, bid unto the Marriage. Besides this man that had not the Wedding Garment was not suffered to partake of this Feast, but such persons are suffered to partake of the Lords Supper; besides this person that was objected against for not having a Wedding Garment, was a Reprobate, v. 14. Many are called, but few are chosen: but Mr. M. don't think that every one that ventures to partake of the Lords Supper without Grace, is a Reprobate. By this it does appear that here is a representation of the ⟨p. 5⟩Day of Judgment, and that such Persons as come for Salvation without a Wedding Garment shall be rejected in that day. So that here being nothing spoken about the Lords Supper, all arguing from this Scripture falls to the ground. See Pools Anot. in Locum.
