Christianismus primitivus, or, The ancient Christian religion, in its nature, certainty, excellency, and beauty, (internal and external) particularly considered, asserted, and vindicated from the many abuses which have invaded that sacred profession, by humane innovation, or pretended revelation comprehending likewise the general duties of mankind, in their respective relations : and particularly the obedience of all Christians to magistrates, and the necessity of Christian-moderation about things dispensible in matters of religion : with divers cases of conscience discussed and resolved / by Thomas Grantham ...

Arg. 1. THat Communion which naturally tends to make void any stand∣ing Ordinance in the Church of Christ, or in the Christian Profession, is unlawful, and of dreadful consequence to all other of Christ's Ordinances.

But to allow Church-communion between Persons Baptized with the Baptism of Repentance, and those that neglect or oppose it, na∣turally tends to make void that standing Ordinance in the Christian Profession. Therefore such Communion is unlawful, and of evil con∣sequence to all other Ordinances of Christ.

The Major is evident. The Minor cannot be denied, because by what right the Church dispenses with some of her Communicants in their neg∣lect of Baptism, or in their opposing it (for that is the Case of the Pae∣dobaptists,

to the Baptism held or maintained by the the Baptized Churches) she may and must dispense with all if they desire it; and by what right she allows Men Communion in that Case, she will be inforced to do the like in others, or else be inconsistent.
