The Confequenceofthe >lajor Fthus
prove'
If the Apoftks were fdthfd in the Sfcharreof
their Minijiry^ an'dkeft back nothing that was pro^
fit able to the Chhrchesy but declared nnto them the
whole Connfel of God^ then they did teach the Church*^
es all things their Lord had commanded them.
Bat the
u4poflles were thus faithful in the difcharge oftheir
Miniflry:
^
Ergo, They did teach the Churches all
things their Lord had commanded them.
There is no part of this Argument can be
denied, without rafing up the very Foundation
of ChriftianiCy. I /hail therefore proceed
to prove the Minor of my former Syllogifm,
by the fame way that I proceeded before.
If the ApoHles did teach the Churches of Chrifk
to fing in Rhime and Metre ^ with conjoined voices
by aH the People together^ with mufical tunes^ by a
prelimited form^ as a Gofpel- Ordinance^ then it is
fomewhere fo recorded in the New^Teftament. But
there is no fuch record to be found in all the Nejt-^
Tefiament : Ergo, The Jpoftles did not teach the
Churches ofChriJl to fing as aforefaid.
The Confequence of the Major is natural from
the premifes, and if you deny the minor Prdpoficion,
you are ( as before ) obliged to ihew
us where it is fo written in the New Teitamenr.
Thus you may apprehend what a Circle you
have brought your fclves into, (by pretending
your way of finging to be a part of Inllituted
VVorihip under the Gofpel ) out of which I
con-
