Vindication, fol. 47.
A Peradventure we may receive or do good, by such a par∣ticular
Ordinance or action, is a sufficient encouragement for
us to adventure on it in other cases; let it be also warrantable
in such cases where they have at least a probability, a possibi∣lity,
a peradventure, it may be, and a Who knoweth but it
may convert?
Inference.
Whence we may infer, That the sum of all the former
Arguments now summed up, you see, will reach no higher
then to a Peradventure, or to a may be. And whether these be
such Scripture-grounds or assurances for administrations of the
Ordinances of God, I appeal to all the world of believers, who
knows, that May bees and Peradventures are not to be allow∣ed
any place in the practical obedience of Christians; but clear,
demonstrative, solid and certain Maximes or Principles; for,
Whatsoever is not of faith, is sin: and, He that doubteth is damn∣ed▪
and,Happie is he that condemneth not himself in what he doth.

And who knnws not, that what is done upon May bees and
Peradventures, cannot be done of faith nor perswasion?
