some_o of_o his_o brethren_n have_v set_v form_n he_o infer_v though_o very_o unjust_o that_o the_o quaker_n decline_v it_o we_o do_v say_v if_o man_n pray_v they_o ought_v to_o pray_v with_o the_o spirit_n and_o with_o a_o understanding_n also_o and_o therefore_o we_o say_v all_o be_v to_o attend_v the_o spirit_n time_n in_o order_n to_o help_v they_o in_o the_o production_n of_o what_o it_o have_v conceive_v and_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o they_o who_o be_v intent_n hereon_o shall_v not_o find_v themselves_o at_o a_o loss_n for_o want_n of_o the_o spirit_n to_o enable_v they_o when_o the_o circumstance_n of_o time_n and_o place_n call_v for_o it_o yet_o at_o all_o time_n man_n be_v to_o have_v their_o heart_n set_v on_o god_n and_o to_o meditate_v on_o his_o law_n but_o they_o be_v not_o always_o oblige_v to_o a_o vocal_a prayer_n nor_o do_v god_n expect_v it_o though_o sometime_o he_o do_v that_o they_o may_v sanctify_v his_o name_n by_o a_o vocal_a prayer_n as_o well_o in_o a_o private_a family_n as_o a_o public_a meeting_n and_o this_o the_o quaker_n own_v and_o practice_n therefore_o he_o be_v a_o defamer_n persecutor_n and_o impostor_n for_o insinuate_v the_o contrary_a in_o page_n 51._o our_o adversary_n be_v very_o abusive_a touch_v our_o belief_n of_o a_o christ_n within_n which_o he_o false_o put_v in_o opposition_n to_o a_o christ_n without_o say_v this_o word_n outward_a be_v in_o great_a contempt_n with_o they_o but_o how_o this_o word_n outward_a be_v so_o contemptible_a with_o they_o he_o have_v not_o assign_v that_o we_o be_v contemner_n of_o the_o outward_a scripture_n be_v false_a from_o what_o be_v say_v before_o that_o we_o be_v contemner_n of_o christ_n viz._n he_o that_o be_v crucify_a be_v as_o false_a for_o we_o be_v well_o assure_v that_o by_o the_o offer_n up_o of_o himself_o upon_o the_o cross_n he_o become_v a_o propitiatory_a sacrifice_n for_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o whole_a world_n and_o by_o virtue_n of_o his_o blood_n come_v remission_n of_o sin_n and_o yet_o this_o remission_n be_v no_o otherwise_o to_o be_v experience_v than_o by_o man_n repentance_n and_o belief_n of_o the_o truth_n and_o a_o faithful_a walk_n in_o holiness_n of_o life_n with_o which_o as_o a_o ingenious_a author_n say_v we_o may_v but_o without_o which_o we_o never_o shall_v be_v save_v notwithstanding_o christ_n die_v for_o we_o the_o design_n of_o who_o death_n be_v not_o to_o make_v a_o good_a life_n unnecessary_a but_o to_o render_v it_o efficacious_a and_o available_a not_o to_o procure_v a_o privilege_n of_o be_v save_v without_o it_o as_o some_o fancy_n but_o that_o we_o may_v be_v save_v with_o it_o etc._n etc._n after_o he_o have_v tell_v his_o reader_n that_o baptism_n and_o the_o lord_n supper_n be_v outward_a ordinance_n with_o they_o he_o query_n but_o why_o do_v not_o these_o man_n contemn_v outward_a meat_n and_o drink_n and_o outward_a clothing_n too_o if_o they_o do_v the_o controversy_n will_v soon_o be_v at_o a_o end_n but_o for_o all_o his_o scoff_v he_o be_v mistake_v though_o by_o end_v the_o controversy_n he_o mean_v we_o shall_v be_v out_o of_o his_o way_n i_o must_v confess_v i_o believe_v it_o will_v be_v a_o joyful_a day_n to_o he_o and_o such_o as_o he_o but_o pray_v let_v i_o expostulate_v with_o these_o people_n a_o little_a be_v not_o you_o for_o a_o inward_a virtue_n from_o christ_n the_o fountain_n to_o revive_v your_o spirit_n and_o comfort_v your_o soul_n under_o any_o affliction_n as_o well_o as_o to_o encourage_v you_o to_o perseverance_n be_v not_o you_o for_o the_o marrow_n of_o the_o scripture_n as_o well_o as_o the_o word_n and_o sentence_n therein_o contain_v be_v not_o you_o for_o sit_v down_o in_o a_o heavenly_a place_n in_o christ_n be_v not_o you_o desirous_a of_o receive_v the_o substance_n of_o what_o baptism_n and_o the_o supper_n be_v but_o the_o sign_n of_o if_o you_o say_v yea_o may_v not_o i_o if_o i_o will_v act_v the_o part_n of_o this_o hammerer_n return_v it_o upon_o you_o that_o you_o be_v since_o you_o cry_v up_o the_o outward_a all_o for_o the_o outward_a but_o not_o at_o all_o for_o the_o inward_a which_o i_o can_v with_o as_o much_o justice_n and_o truth_n do_v as_o he_o have_v charge_v the_o quaker_n for_o contemn_v all_o the_o outward_a etc._n etc._n but_o what_o a_o poor_a flurt_n be_v it_o to_o bring_v in_o outward_a meat_n and_o drink_n and_o clothes_n too_o and_o then_o the_o controversy_n he_o say_v will_v soon_o be_v end_v but_o that_o be_v not_o true_a for_o we_o be_v against_o outward_a meat_n and_o drink_n and_o clothing_n too_o and_o yet_o the_o controversy_n be_v not_o end_v and_o if_o he_o have_v not_o be_v blind_v with_o folly_n as_o well_o as_o envy_n he_o may_v have_v escape_v such_o a_o blunder_n for_o where_o meat_n and_o drink_n be_v offer_v either_o superstitious_o or_o profane_o the_o quaker_n be_v against_o it_o and_o refuse_v it_o but_o what_o a_o comparison_n he_o have_v make_v here_o be_v christ_n without_o the_o scripture_n without_o heaven_n without_o baptism_n without_o the_o lord_n supper_n without_o with_o outward_a meat_n outward_a dring_n and_o outward_a cloat_v and_o what_o weight_n there_o be_v in_o that_o pray_v read_v col._n 2._o 17._o and_o then_o let_v he_o tell_v i_o according_a to_o his_o own_o comparison_n what_o real_a ground_n there_o be_v for_o he_o or_o any_o else_o to_o blame_v the_o quaker_n for_o disuse_v the_o two_o great_a ordinance_n as_o they_o call_v they_o since_o according_a to_o his_o comparison_n they_o be_v but_o a_o shadow_n and_o if_o people_n have_v see_v and_o enjoy_v the_o substance_n and_o will_v follow_v it_o rather_o than_o the_o shadow_n be_v they_o to_o be_v blame_v for_o it_o or_o call_v heretic_n but_o till_o the_o substance_n be_v know_v those_o shadow_n may_v have_v their_o service_n and_o we_o be_v not_o for_o press_v any_o to_o decline_v it_o till_o their_o own_o conviction_n do_v for_o i_o agree_v with_o the_o apostle_n who_o say_v let_v every_o man_n be_v full_o persuade_v in_o his_o own_o mind_n there_o have_v be_v many_o book_n write_v upon_o this_o subject_a of_o baptism_n i_o shall_v therefore_o say_v the_o less_o the_o great_a argument_n i_o have_v ever_o hear_v bring_v for_o the_o continuation_n of_o water-baptism_n be_v from_o act_n 10._o 48._o which_o stand_v thus_o can_v any_o man_n forbid_v water_n that_o those_o shall_v not_o be_v baptise_a which_o have_v receive_v the_o holy_a ghost_n as_o well_o as_o we_o from_o which_o they_o argue_v that_o if_o baptism_n be_v not_o a_o stand_a ordinance_n since_o these_o have_v receive_v the_o holy_a ghost_n why_o be_v it_o here_o practise_v i_o answer_v first_o of_o all_o there_o be_v no_o mention_n of_o water_n in_o the_o commission_n mat._n 28._o 19_o 20._o yet_o to_o teach_v baptise_v be_v second_o since_o john_n baptism_n be_v distinguish_v from_o christ_n by_o water_n as_o that_o be_v from_o john_n by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n nothing_o can_v be_v more_o plain_a than_o that_o christ_n intend_v his_o and_o not_o john_n baptism_n and_o if_o the_o apostle_n paul_n be_v not_o behind_o as_o he_o say_v he_o be_v not_o any_o of_o the_o apostle_n yet_o it_o be_v evident_a he_o do_v not_o understand_v mat._n 28._o 19_o 20._o in_o the_o sense_n our_o adversary_n do_v for_o if_o baptise_v with_o water_n be_v a_o part_n of_o the_o commission_n there_o mention_v he_o never_o understand_v his_o commission_n if_o he_o have_v he_o will_v not_o have_v thank_v god_n that_o he_o baptise_a so_o few_o as_o he_o do_v and_o positive_o declare_v that_o he_o be_v not_o send_v to_o baptise_v but_o to_o preach_v the_o gospel_n but_o that_o he_o do_v some_o and_o peter_n more_o be_v true_a but_o this_o neither_o prove_v it_o a_o stand_a ordinance_n nor_o yet_o that_o it_o be_v by_o command_n from_o god_n to_o be_v a_o stand_a ordinance_n but_o as_o in_o the_o case_n of_o circumcision_n anoint_v the_o sick_a and_o divers_a other_o thing_n practise_v by_o the_o jew_n who_o religion_n be_v great_o ceremonious_a as_o the_o gentile_n be_v idolatrous_a the_o disciple_n of_o jesus_n condescend_v as_o in_o the_o case_n of_o circumcision_n that_o by_o become_v all_o to_o all_o they_o may_v gain_v some_o for_o to_o take_v they_o off_o all_o at_o once_o be_v not_o likely_a to_o be_v receive_v by_o they_o since_o by_o a_o long_a custom_n they_o have_v use_v themselves_o to_o such_o outward_a thing_n but_o beside_o john_n himself_o have_v before_o declare_v that_o he_o must_v decrease_v and_o that_o christ_n must_v increase_v which_o plain_o imply_v the_o decrease_n of_o his_o ministry_n and_o baptism_n not_o all_o at_o once_o but_o gradual_o as_o it_o do_v the_o increase_n of_o christ_n ministry_n and_o baptism_n
