SECT. LXXIII.

THE 19. Consideration (being, as you say, the same with the 8th.) you pass over with reference to your answer thereunto, and so do I with reference to my reply to that answer; and if that 19th. Con∣sideration, were nineteen times put upon your thoughts, it would be too little for you to withstand the due weight and import thereof.

Mr. Goodwins 20. Consideration, is to this purpose:

Peter being questioned for holding communion with Cornelius, and o∣ther Gentiles, by the brethren of Jerusalem, he justifieth it, by telling them, that they having received the Holy Ghost as wel as themselves, they had no Reason to reject them, never making the least mention of their being baptized, and with that account only the brethren were satisfied.

To this you answer, 1. They were baptized. I reply, How could the brethren know that? 2. You say the communion Peter had with them, was after baptism. I reply, How could the brethren know that still? the que∣ry still is, why did not Peter inform them of their baptism? 1. You an∣swer, the Scriptures silence doth not argue that there was no mention made of it.
