ARGUMENT XVI.

Mr. Blake.

If the promise be to others besides Believers, then so is the seal; for to whom God promiseth, to them he engageth himself to perform: But the Promise is to others; therefore the seal is to others. This will be evident, if it be once understood that it is only the conditional Covenant, which God sealeth by the Sa∣craments; for this promise is made to unbelievers, though the good promised is not to be enjoyed by any but those that perform the con∣dition.
