A76289	A briefe ansvver to R.H. his booke, entitled, The true guide, &c. Wherein are occasionally declared and proved by Scripture these particular things following: [brace] first, that the baptisme of water is a distinct baptisme from the baptisme of the spirit. ... Sixthly, in what sense some things related in Scripture are not Scripture, with divers other particulars occasionally spoken of. / By R.B. a well-wisher to the truth, and R.H.	R.

but_o first_o he_o puts_z we_o upon_o negative_a proof_n second_o he_o compare_v they_o with_o other_o teacher_n three_o by_o two_o fabulous_a similitude_n of_o a_o cook_n and_o a_o clerk_n four_o by_o answer_v three_o question_n so_o that_o here_o be_v not_o one_o rule_n from_o scripture_n to_o prove_v it_o and_o so_o he_o make_v himself_o a_o seducer_n in_o his_o first_o answer_n to_o the_o

of_o a_o man_n prove_v his_o practice_n positive_o by_o scripture_n which_o hold_v forth_o a_o rule_n for_o all_o lawful_a practice_n and_o not_o to_o require_v negative_a proof_n from_o other_o for_o that_o be_v not_o god_n way_n to_o the_o second_o thing_n where_o he_o compare_v they_o with_o other_o teacher_n i_o suppose_v he_o mean_v teacher_n by_o virtue_n of_o office_n and_o so_o we_o have_v none_o of_o any_o high_a calling_n then_o r._n h._n when_o he_o himself_o teach_v but_o if_o he_o will_v right_o compare_v his_o minister_n to_o find_v whether_o they_o be_v minister_n of_o christ_n or_o of_o antichrist_n let_v he_o go_v to_o scripture-patterne_n for_o all_o inward_a and_o outward_a qualification_n for_o christ_n minister_n or_o pastor_n according_a to_o that_o isa_n 8.20_o to_o the_o law_n and_o to_o the_o testimony_n if_o they_o walk_v not_o according_a to_o this_o rule_n it_o be_v because_o there_o be_v no_o light_n in_o they_o for_o what_o the_o prophet_n say_v of_o
