A47167	A refutation of three opposers of truth by plain evidence of the holy Scripture, viz. I. Of Pardon Tillinghast, who pleadeth for water-baptism, its being a Gospel-precept, and opposeth Christ within, as a false Christ. To which is added, something concerning the Supper, &c. II. Of B. Keech, in his book called, A tutor for children, where he disputeth against the sufficiency of the light within, in order of salvation; and calleth Christ in the heart, a false Christ in the secret chamber. II. Of Cotton Mather, who in his appendix to his book, called, Memorable providences, relating to witchcrafts, &c. doth so weakly defend his father Increase Mather from being justly chargeable with abusing the honest people called Quakers, that he doth the more lay open his fathers nakedness; and beside the abuses and injuries that his father had cast upon that people, C. Mather, the son, addeth new abuses of his own. And a few words of a letter to John Cotton, called a minister, at Plymouth in New England. By George Keith.

of_o god_n reveal_v in_o he_o and_o therefore_o he_o may_v well_o command_v it_o for_o that_o time_n though_o no_o gospel_n precept_n but_o whereas_o thou_o say_v that_o peter_n and_o the_o apostle_n

of_o such_o who_o be_v weak_a and_o but_o as_o babe_n in_o christ_n they_o see_v it_o meet_v in_o the_o wisdom_n of_o god_n to_o use_v it_o for_o some_o time_n but_o after_o the_o day_n of_o the_o

to_o be_v send_v but_o this_o thy_o strained_a gloss_n on_o paul_n word_n be_v ground_v upon_o a_o mere_a supposition_n of_o thou_o that_o paul_n be_v send_v to_o baptize_v with_o water_n which_o thou_o have_v not_o in_o the_o least_o prove_v nor_o be_v ever_o like_a to_o do_v matth._n 28._o say_v nothing_o of_o water_n thy_o similitude_n betwixt_o solomon_n temple_n and_o the_o

be_v not_o always_o to_o be_v understand_v to_o imply_v a_o negative_a but_o frequent_o a_o affirmative_a as_o in_o v_o 28._o say_v christ_n but_o if_o i_o cast_v out_o devil_n by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n etc._n etc._n the_o sense_n be_v not_o negative_a and_o hereby_o it_o do_v plain_o appear_v that_o cotton_n mather_n be_v a_o falsifier_n and_o wrester_n of_o christ_n word_n who_o will_v
