And when I have brought another Argument to prove m;<br />

linor, YOU then evade ic by. an indirefl; Anfwer.<br />

Sir, you are bound to give a direft Anfwer to my Argument nt. 1<br />

Mr. Chandler. I deny the Confequence of your Major.<br />

Dr. Rtt0. By fo doing, you fay, though they have no Knowledge<br />

to difcern between Good and Evil, yet they are capable<br />

to be made Difciples by the Minftrry of Men. How can this<br />

poffibly be true ?<br />

Mr. Leigh. You will not allow of Compleat and Incompleat<br />

Difciples.<br />

Dr. Rujfel, What is this to my Argument ? Pray let Mr.<br />

Chandler fix on fomething, »<br />

Mr, Chandler. I fay if you mean Incompleat Difciples, I deny<br />

that they are uncapable to befuch.<br />

Dr. Rufel. How often muft we have this diftinftion repeated<br />

to keep us from the Point in hand. We are now upon this.<br />

Whether Infants have Knowledge to difcern between Good and<br />

Evil ; which is che midium I bring to prove the other by ; Why<br />

Mr. Chandler. They have no Knowledge, yet are capable of<br />

Chrift, made fo by the Miriiflry of Men, and fitted for Holy<br />

Baptifm. Bat I proceed to the proof of my Minor.<br />

If the Gofpel in the Miniftration of it, was appointed to inform<br />

Men what is Good, and what is Evil, and Infants have<br />

no Knowledge to difcern betwixt Good and Evil (as Mr. Chandler<br />

hath been forced to confefs)<br />

made Difciples by the Miniftry of Men :<br />

then they are not capable to be<br />

Bat the Gofpel in the Miniftration of it was appointed to<br />

inform Men what is Good, and what is Evil, and Infants have<br />

no Kno^vledge to difcern betwixt Good and Evil,as Mr. Chandler<br />

hath been forc'd to confefs :<br />

Therefore they are not capable to be made Difciples by the<br />

Miniftry of m.en.<br />

Mr. Rohinfon. When Mr. Chandler hath diftihguilheJ, you<br />

mud: pat it into a Syllogifm, elfe you will ftill confound it.<br />

Dr. Rufel Anfwers, Have I not put it into an Argument.and<br />
