raign and hinder your Saints 1000. years glory The Pope is Antichrist But you deny the Pope to be Antichrist in troth he is beholding to you but I believe him Antichrist and you a limb of him But what makes you huddle up so many texts together to prove the man of sins arising pag. 101. I perceive you understand not what is meant by Gog or Magog like enough fore-runners of Antichrist as the little horn was a type of him in Dan. 7. meaning that Tyrant Antiochus Epiphanes that sagacious or cunning but blasphemous wretch You quote Esay 14. 13. to be understood of Antichrist which was plainly spoken of the King of Babylon v. 4. And 2 Thes 2. you will have understood of Antichrist not the Pope Have you not been tutor'd by a Jesuit But let us try your Reasons why the Pope no Antichrist First because the Pope or rather Romish Babylon is ser forth by the name of a Woman as Rev. 17. but Antichrist is called the Man of sinne 2 Thes 2.3 Answ Antichrist is set forth with a double form Rev. 13. 4 11. As Tyrano and false Prophet yet but one Beast v. 18. So Antichrist as Woman or Whorish Church seducing but as Man viz the Series of Popes tyrannizing Secondly the Romish Babylon confesseth God Qui scribit seservum servorum provat s●… tyrannum tyrannorum but Antichrist shall exalo himself above all Gods 2 Thes 2.4 Answ He shall confess him in words but deny in deeds so does Romish Babylon or rather Pope exalting himself above Augels and Kings who are called Gods 3. You say That Romish Babylon shall be destroyed before the appearance of Christ but Antichrist shall not Answ The Romish Church shall be diminished before Christs appearance as Judge but not quite destroyed Partly she is destroyed by the breath of Christs mouth his word and spirit already and the rest by the brightness of his comming 2 Thes 2.8 but you may finde that in Rev. 17.17 and chap. 18.18 the City of Rome is to be destroyed by fire but the Pope shall survive and the Romish Church though diminished till last day 2 Thes 2.8 Rev. 19.20 plainly Sancta Maria Regena calisalva nos I could shew you many Arguments to prove the Pope Antichrist as 1. Who is against the honour Church and truth of Christ is Antichrist such is the Pope praying to Saints which derogates from Christ counting himself as head of the Church remitting sins bidding the Virgin Command her Son c. 2. Who exalts himself above all that is called God Though he 0204 0725 V call himself Servus serverum Dei is Antichrist but so doth the Pope as above Emperours Kings nay Angels who are called Gods The Lateran Councel applauded the Pope saying Thou art all things and above all things And again the same Councel said to him thou art another God on earth Read Jewels Apology page 447. or Aug. Civit. Dei l. 20. c. 19. expounding in Templum or Annot. of Assemb on 2 Thes 2.4 But 3 dly Who sits in the Seat of Antichrist is Antichrist but so doth the Pope on seven hills of Rome Rev. 17.9 where were seven Governments and the Pope the eighth trading for souls of men Rev. 18. And in Johns time ruling over Nations Rome to wit was the now feat of Antichrist what need further proof From your page 112. to 128. you almost trifle away Pen Ink and Paper for my part I shall not fight with your shadow Yet a word to what you say You would prove that upon the last return of the Jews to their Country Antichrist which you call Gog out of Ezek. 38. shall destroy or spoil Israel till Christ succour them But. 1. The Jews finall return to their Country is disproved already 2. Gog is not litterally Antichrist though an enemy to Christs Church By Gog understand the people of Asia so called from Giges the King by Magog the Scythians and by both understand the Turk who came of them and raigns over them Nov Who Gay and Magog though the Gogims did much spoyl Israel under Antiochus and were overthrown by the Macchabees God wonderfully assisting upon the Mountains of Israel in the latter dayes not the last Ezek. 38.16.21 Yet we expect a further destruction of the enemies of Gods Church comprehended under Gog and Magog Turk c. Read Rev. 20. which will hardly come to passe till Christ come to judgement Rev. 20.9 when Christ shall come with flames of fire to destroy his enemies But Gog cannot be Antichrist because of Unbelieving for Antichrist must sit in the Temple as owning God c. Now you would prove that this Gog Antichrist shall be destroyed by Christ before the end and quote Rev. 19.11 No wart with Gog on Israels Mount to prove it but that Text is meant of Christs comming to judgement as appears by vers 15. the sword comming out of Christs mouth being his sentence to the wicked at the last day when he shall slay them with Go ye cursed c. Thus all warres in the letter on the Mountains of Israel are ended P. 128. And I come to examine Christs personall raign in earth 1000. years when Gog and all enemies shall be subdued to him where a thousand to one but I shall finde you tardy Your grand proof is because Christ was to enjoy the Throne of David Luke 1. which was not spirituall but temporall But consider Christ tells Pilate that his Kingdom was not of the world John 18.36 Christs personall Raign disproved as in Earth in the sence that Caesars was so Christ must succeed David spiritually because also Of his Kingdom there must be no end Luke 1.33 Now by Jacob and Israel there the Saints are meant the true Israel of God thus he is called King of Saints Rev. 15 And to this purpose other Texts of Scripture must be understood where Christ is called a King that learned Sermon of Dr. Goodwin on Rev. 5.10 we shall raign on earth speaks louder and more to purpose then all other Books on that subject yet because Christs Kingdom was spiritual before his ascension I believe it will be so still because the Angels told the Disciples so Acts 1.11 This same Jesus shall so come in like manner as you have seen him go into Heaven So that Paraeus expounds the Saints raiguing in earth spiritually as they shall be Kings and Priests to wit sacrifycing sin raigning over wicked by the spirit in them for the head Christ raigning the members raign but the Weapons of our warfare are not carnall The Saints raign in earth may be these wayes first by their prayers Saints Raign spirituall prevailing with God to bring judgements or blessings upon the earth thus read Isay 45.11 Concerning the works of my hands command ye me how did Moses and Elias even govern the world by their prayers to say nothing of the witnesses Rev. 11-2 By being admitted into high

to make a Covenant Deut. 11.12 where 's a special command now for Sabbath except 1 Cor. 16.1 and that so variously read by Authors that it seems not clear for that purpose And Dr. Heylin † History of the Sabbath part 2. c. 1. p. 26 27. brings in many Expositions of those words upon the first day of the week 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 occasioned by the Greek words which may be rendred either upon one day of the week or on the first day or on the Sabbath day for that day was observed as wel as the Lords day many years after the Resurrection as Dr. Heylin observes out of Gal. 4.10 an Epistle written in the year 59. after Christ And so far were the Primitive Christians from believing there was a Command to keep holy the first day of the week that after Divine Exercises used in memoriall of theirs Saviours Resurrection and other blessings which befell them that Day they went to their common work the remainder of the Day And the learned Hierom tells us that a devout and pious woman one Paula who lived at Bethlehem with certain poor Widows and Virgins privately after they had been at the Holy Exercises of the Congregation one Lords Day returned home to their common work † Instabant operi et vel sibi vel aliis vestimenta faciebant See Helyn Hist Sab. part 2. c. 3. p. 79. which was making cloaths This I the rather write to shew that what was commanded oft in Old Testament is sparingly in the New Now the Sabbath being morall onely the Seventh Day changed into the first day of the week what needed new Commands And so for bringing Infants into Covenant in the New Testament We have just grounds having so many Commands in the old if you say that in 1 Cor. 16.1 there is a Command for observing the Lords day because 't is said As I have ordained in the Churches of Galatia I answer that relates rather to the collections there mentioned then to the enforcing a Command for setting a part the Lords day And in a digression we have firmer Ordinance for Tythes forgive that Jewish expression in 1 Cor. 9. Even so has God ordained 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 that those that preach the Gospel Tythes in Gospel time proved c. the Apostle quotes a former Statute or Ordinance for Ministry-maintenance and that seemes out of Moses Law for v. 9. the Levitical Text is alledged thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the Oxe c. Now never did God appoint any † Free will-offerings of a atter date way to maintain those who did his service but the way of Tythes which was never type of any thing nor never repealed and indeed if Moses Priesthood had a set maintenance why should our Saviours come short And the Apostle pleads a set maintenance Who goes to warre at his own charges 1 Cor. 9. have not Souldiers set-pay I could here be large with reason but 't is a digression Here is a plainer Ordinance for Tythes then for the Lords day yet not looked on What speciall Command have you for Womens partaking of the Pascall Lamb or Lords Supper now except you court that Text of 1 Cor. 11.28 to take your part Let a man examine himself c. and under man comprehend both sexes the words are masculine 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 but you 'l say The man is a courteous Creature to the woman and will be content to comprehend her under him Thus though in expresse terms in the new Testament we are not commanded to baptize Children nor keep Lords day nor pay Tythes nor admit Women to the Lords Supper no nor to speak against Usury or to hold Christiā Magistracy yet by good consequences in the new Cōmands in the old Testament or Rules that look very like Commands My last Argument for Infant-baptisme is in Ephes 2.3 since by nature they are Children of wrath and therefore need Christs blood represented in Baptisme to wash away their sins The baptizers say the Text calles them Sons of wrath onely who walked in sinful and evill courses but I answer That Exposition gives the Text the lye for the Apostle there plainly shews first the Ephesians actuall transgressions v. 2. and part of the third and then their originall state in respect of Adam they were by nature Children of wrath of which more anon Were not Children when born naturall Children well then by nature Sons of wrath which made them break forth into so many actuall sins Person may be loved and their State hated of which in v. 2.3 here observe because the Ephesians were elect that their persons were ever beloved but their state was the state or condition of wrath in respect of originall sin but thus much for Baptisme of Infants I could produce more Arguments and answer Objections but 't is not my task there is abundant satisfaction to be had in Dr. Featley Mr. Marshall Mr. Hall Mr. Fuller B. D. Dav. Chytraus de infantum Bapt. Mr. Pagit Rossaeus and others so that Mr. Fishers voluminous Book where he calls Baby-Baptisme Babyisme shall never prevail with me to deny Childrens Baptism The third thing you affirmed was that Pope Innocent brought in Baptisme of Infants but this is a most grosse error for Innocent the third lived but about the year of our Lord 1198. and brought in Transubstantiation Description of Italy pa. 184. and Auricular confession as Dr. Heylin tells us but Infant-Baptisme was in use above 1000. years before but you are not the first who have fathered this Infant-Baptisme upon Innocent the third as you may read in Pagit his Heresiography page 16. Mr. Marshall against Mr. Tombes Pa. 92.93 94. c. has taken pains to prove the Antiquity of Infant-Baptisme to have been in the year 150. after Christ in the dayes of J. Martyr Infant-Baptisme very antient and produces his Testimony for it which was long before any Pope of Rome was in being and Origene who lived not very many years after affirms Paedobaptisme to be a tradition received from the Apostles in whose time the word Tradition was used in a good sence read 2 Thes 2.15 Irenaeus a Grand Father who lived in the same Century vvith I. Page 23.24 25. c. Martyr confirms Infant-Baptisme to have been in use in his time You may read Mr. Marshall vvho vvill also give you account vvhy Constantine Greg. Nazianzen nor Chrysostome c. vvere baptized vvhen Infants to vvit because their Parents vvere not believers at their births And having mentioned some of the Fathers Scientia non habet inimicum nisi Ignorantem I wonder why you so speak against them for darkening the light of the Gospel Some of them lived neer the Apostles times saw them who heard the Apostles and received light from their light he that is wise will drink as near to the Fountains head as he can because of the pureness and clearness of

Titus and so the same word is used Act. 7.10 The King of Egypt did appoint Joseph 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 the same word Governour of Egypt where I hope the power was conceived to be in the King not People Which passage Philo Judens renders by 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 As Dr. Hammond quotes him intimating the power as the Greek words used for Imposition of hands or Setting apart Concerning Ordination pag. 314. imply to be in Titus and the Presbytery not People though I should consent to the Peoples approbation could it well be obtained You 'l say our Ministry came from Rome I answer Suppose once Popery crept into England have we not separated from all their Ceremonies and keep close to the word and shall we not be accepted Or could their Ceremony spoyl the substance But I deny that we are of Rome onely were in Rome or came through it And came not Christ from Adam through sinfull Loyns and yet the true Christ Did not Aarons Priesthood successively come to our Saviours time sed quare through sinful men and yet owned by our Saviour the Priesthood not the Persons who crucified him And may not a Priesthood come undefiled through Rome for matter of substance But I 'le prove we were Christians in England and had Ministers before Romes Apostacies many years Our Histories make manifest The Brittish Church Independent from Rome that Augustine the Monk was so far from being the first Planter of Christianity here that he found Brit. Bishops who did deny obedience to the Chu of Rome as appears by the B. of Bangors Letter to Aug. the Monk desiring his subjection to the Romane Church Notum sit vobis c. Nos esse sub gubernatione Episcopt Caerlegionis super Osca c. And before Sir Hen. Spelman out of the Annals of Gisburn cites thus Concil Anglic. p. 188. and p. 26. Aburbe legionum Meneviam translata sedes Metropolitana tempore S. David Episcopiper Arthurum from Caerlyon upon Oske the Metropolitan Seat was translated to St. Davids by King Arihur in the time when St. David was Bishop where there stood 13 chief Bishops where Consecration was without making any subjection to any other Church And Lanfrank Bishop of Canterbury under William the Conquerour refused to be subject to Gregory the 7. of Festivals of the Church pag. 419. of Rome Of which read Dr. Hammond who pag. 412. proves That Christianity was planted in England in the Apostles time Oregine confesseth That Christianity was in England in his time on Ezek. Hom. 4. And Tertullian affirms here it before his time Some gather som ground from 2 Tim. 4.10 where Crescens is sent to Galatia conceived to be France from whence the Gospel came to us Mr. Cambden tells us from antient Authors that Joseph of Arimathea planted it here but enough to prove that our Original was not from Rome though in after-time the Superstition of Rome crept in amongst us which we have now forsaken and are ordained according to the Gospel-Rules Who desires more satisfaction about Ministers Ordination let him read the learned Treatise of Mr. John Collins Vindiciae Ministerii Evangelici proving That gifted-men should take the Seal of the Church by Ordination as Barnabas and Paul did Act. 13. where the Ministry and not People set them apart as Christ did his Disciples Act. 10.41 And the Greek word when applyed to Ecclesiastical business requires not the peoples consent Read Mr. Vines on 2 Pet. 2. 1. pag. 20 proving 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 that the Apostles ordain Elders without the peoples consenting or giving in Suffrages Act. 14.23 Read Leigh on the Word Yet I am not against peoples choice also where to be had conveniently Read the Diatribé printed 1647. proving that many of our godly Reformers had onely inward Call and Peoples Suffrages now as Election makes a King more then his Coronation so peoples Consent more then Ordination But I forbear knowing that the approbation of the Ministry by reason of their abilities is far beyond that of the people Well! we have Ministers both ways set apart yet the Baptizers own them not But so much in general about Ministers which your Characters caused me to say yet you find fault rather with the personall faults of the Ministry than with their Office The Office is good though a Cataphas or a Judas miscarry in it He amongst you that 's without fault let him throw the first stone The manner of Sions Redemption discovered NOw I come to examine your Sion's Redemption How Sion redeemed in which you plead for the Jews return to their own Countrey Brightman was of that Opinion and that Euphrates therefore is to be miraculously dryed up Rev. 16. In Rev. 16. that the Jews beyond Euphrates may not be hindred in their return This Opinion Paraeus calls godly and probable but not solid Read my Exposition of that Chapter how Euphrates shall be dryed up The Jews promise themselves an happy enjoyment of their Countrey Rab. Men. Ben. Spes Israel The learned Rabbi in his Book dedicated to our longliv'd-Parliament tells us The Rabbi is his book called Israelis that the Ten Tribes live together beyond the Cordiller Hills and the River Maragnon differing in Religion from the Indians in whose Countrey they are Sed parvas spes habet Troja si tales habet For the Readers sake Chap. 9.15 16 17. I shall enlarge my self a little on this pleasant subject The ten Tribes are threatned never to be a people more in Isaiah 7.8 Pray what hope of their return And Hosea tells us of the Ten Tribes God will love them no more as to return them God will cast them away and they shall be wanderers amongst the Nations The Jews return to Judae disproved Yet I believe there is hope of their Call because Rom. 11. and that passage of Tamars Children prove in Gen. 38.28 Sarah might represent the Jew with the scarlet Thred or Sacrifices who first made proffer to serve God as first-born but drew back like a stiff-necked people Pharez in the mean time steps forth Behold the Gentiles call but Zarah was born at last Zach. 10.10 the Jew then shall be a people belonging to God Nay I believe the dispersing the Ten Tribes will be a means to gain others to God upon their Call Hence God is said to sow them among the people good seed shall not perish and they shall remember me in far Countries Now though their return to Gilead and to Lebanon be there it must be spiritual to wit to the Church or Spiritual Hierusalem and that Spiritual Land of Promise Read Annotat of Assembly on the place Book Ch 35. pag. 5. Hence Mr. Fuller sayes of Israel converted Any Mountain shall be their Oliver River their Jordan Field their Carmel Forest their Lebanus Fort their Sion and City their Jerusalem I am the rather induced to believe this because Canaan
