CHANT. Ep file to theT'heffalonians. E R. M. qualified, you apprehend,conceiuing the difcourfe on this wife. All that beleeue the Go f'pel fhall par- take in that maruellous glory. But you haue beleeued the Gofpell; therefore fliall haue fhare in that heauenly glory. But doth not the Apcale,in this Application of the ge- neral to this particular people, more then intimate, that generals of promife,or blef ng,or cornfort,deliuered in Scrip - ture,are intentionally meant to particulars rightly qualified? Or that Gods fpirit fpeaking in generali, fpeakes to par- ticulars couched veder the generall ? As thus, when to all Saints and beleeuers, hee promifeth the inheri- tance, fpeakes he not to me,in cafe I bee fan&ified, and a Belee net ? That a man may wonder Papifls fhould on this ground 12. mica particular Faith , becaufe wee Iacke a particular word; whereas truth is, wee haue a word intentionally particular. I pray tell, is not the word of promife as par- ticular, as the word ofThreatning,or Command, or pro- hibition? Thus conceiue; when the command is giuen to feare the Lord, and depart from euill, though Peter and Paul be not mentioned in the Command, Is it not there- fore meant to Peter and Paul i Belikethey are not bound to obey,faue in what is commanded them by name.When its Paid, yeu P fhall not ioyne mariage wash the daughters of r Deut.7.3.4. affranóe Cod; is it not áll one, as if he had paid, neither thou, nor thou whofoeuer thou art ? When God threatens the q drunkard to be clothed with ragges, the r whoremon- S Pro.a ;.zs. gerto be-brought toamorfellof tread, isit not applicable, ` &6.a6. in the intention of the fpeaker,r_o euery particular ingaged in thofes finnes ? So when the promife runs, whof ewer be- leeues ,andis baptized, (hall be faued, why fay eve, wee haue no particular word to beleeue that we are in flue of Saluation? When its meant to cuery particular beleeuer, and we know, or may know that wee beleeue. To mee, I afire you, it founds as particular in cafe of my Faith and Repentance, as if our Sauiour himfeife fhould fay veto mee, as to hire in the Gofpel, Sonne thy finnes bee forgi- nen thee.
