man_n shall_v open_v his_o mouth_n to_o speak_v unto_o they_o notwythstand_v we_o will_v open_v this_o doubt_n which_o they_o put_v forth_o which_o be_v that_o a_o man_n ought_v not_o with_o a_o oath_n to_o promise_v any_o thing_n because_o it_o lie_v not_o in_o he_o to_o perform_v it_o to_o this_o i_o answer_v that_o when_o a_o subject_n swear_v unto_o his_o prince_n to_o do_v his_o duty_n in_o obey_v and_o be_v fayethful_a unto_o he_o he_o do_v not_o this_o in_o confidence_n of_o his_o own_o power_n or_o vaunt_v himself_o as_o despise_v god_n and_o setting_a he_o at_o nought_o but_o rather_o in_o call_v upon_o the_o help_v of_o god_n he_o answer_v that_o his_o will_n shall_v be_v such_o as_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v how_o be_v it_o it_o be_v a_o folyshe_a imagination_n to_o reprove_v oath_n and_o yet_o to_o permit_v simple_a promise_n for_o if_o there_o be_v folishe_a rashness_n in_o the_o one_o so_o be_v there_o also_o in_o the_o other_o therefore_o if_o it_o be_v lawful_a for_o we_o to_o promise_n they_o must_v show_v a_o reason_n why_o we_o may_v not_o ascertain_v our_o promise_n by_o a_o oath_n when_o necessity_n require_v we_o that_o in_o such_o a_o case_n a_o oath_n be_v holy_a and_o lawful_a we_o have_v many_o exemple_n in_o holy_a stripture_n and_o among_o all_o three_o which_o be_v very_o notable_a it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o book_n of_o the_o chronicle_n that_o asa_n king_n of_o juda_n be_v admonish_v by_o azarias_n sacrificer_n and_o prophet_n call_v all_o the_o people_n into_o jerusalem_n and_o there_o cause_v they_o to_o swear_v to_o serve_v god_n for_o ever_o as_o much_o be_v write_v of_o josias_n when_o the_o book_n of_o the_o law_n be_v find_v that_o for_o to_o renew_v the_o covenaunte_n make_v by_o moses_n he_o swear_v the_o people_n make_v they_o promise_n to_o persevere_v for_o ever_o in_o the_o obedience_n of_o god_n the_o three_o exemple_n be_v of_o esdras_n &_o nehemias_n at_o who_o instance_n the_o people_n be_v return_v from_o babylon_n do_v swear_v for_o ever_o after_o to_o follow_v we_o god_n and_o his_o word_n if_o we_o do_v well_o consider_v the_o thing_n the_o like_a be_v do_v at_o the_o first_o publication_n of_o the_o law_n but_o because_o i_o know_v that_o i_o have_v to_o do_v with_o brayneles_a &_o obstinate_a people_n i_o will_v allege_v none_o but_o such_o place_n where_o be_v manifest_o make_v mention_n of_o oath_n you_o see_v then_o how_o the_o whole_a church_n of_o israel_n make_v solemn_a oath_n unto_o god_n promise_v that_o thing_n which_o be_v mooste_o hard_a to_o be_v keep_v that_o be_v to_o cleave_v fayethfullye_o unto_o he_o this_o be_v do_v often_o time_n that_o the_o act_n be_v good_a there_o be_v no_o doubt_n for_o it_o have_v wytnes_n and_o be_v also_o praise_v of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n i_o will_v not_o great_o stand_v in_o this_o to_o declare_v how_o man_n may_v this_o bind_v themselves_o to_o god_n to_o do_v that_o which_o be_v not_o in_o they_o but_o only_o put_v you_o in_o remembrance_n of_o that_o thing_n which_o i_o have_v touch_v in_o the_o way_n that_o the_o fayethfull_a do_v always_o presuppose_v that_o god_n will_v not_o fail_v they_o of_o his_o grace_n which_o he_o have_v promise_v they_o and_o upon_o that_o they_o ground_n their_o oath_n but_o sing_v that_o it_o be_v so_o that_o god_n have_v approve_v this_o kind_n of_o oath_n and_o that_o his_o church_n have_v often_o time_n use_v it_o by_o his_o ordinance_n i_o ask_v of_o our_o dulheade_n by_o what_o authority_n they_o dare_v reprove_v it_o or_o rather_o without_o trouble_v myself_o with_o they_o because_o it_o be_v time_n lose_v i_o desire_n and_o exhort_v all_o servant_n of_o god_n to_o consider_v what_o boldness_n these_o poor_a ignorant_a man_n have_v to_o make_v such_o magistral_a determination_n and_o to_o go_v about_o to_o constrain_v the_o world_n to_o receyve_v they_o as_o thing_n irrevorable_a and_o not_o to_o be_v again_o say_v ☞_o for_o my_o part_n i_o doubt_n not_o but_o that_o in_o the_o matter_n of_o a_o oath_n as_o in_o the_o other_o before_o i_o have_v ful_o satisfy_v all_o such_o as_o have_v ear_n and_o understand_v and_o be_v in_o will_n to_o consent_v unto_o the_o truth_n know_v the_o two_o last_o article_n i_o have_v finish_v the_o vii_o article_n contain_v in_o the_o book_n which_o the_o patriarch_n of_o the_o anabapti●●es_n have_v make_v as_o a_o final_a resolution_n of_o those_o thing_n which_o they_o do_v hold_v apart_o from_o other_o and_o therefore_o there_o do_v now_o rest_v nothing_o else_o but_o to_o conclude_v &_o make_v avend_a of_o this_o book_n be_v it_o not_o that_o they_o have_v leave_v two_o article_n of_o as_o great_a consequence_n as_o any_o of_o the_o other_o of_o the_o which_o it_o be_v neadfull_a to_o speak_v for_o as_o much_o as_o all_o the_o anabaptiste_n do_v commune_o cleave_v to_o they_o beside_o this_o i_o know_v that_o they_o which_o compose_v this_o goodly_a resolution_n do_v at_o that_o time_n teach_v they_o the_o one_o be_v that_o they_o do_v not_o believe_v that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v a_o very_a man_n but_o rather_o do_v make_v he_o touchinge_v his_o body_n a_o phantasy_n the_o other_o be_v that_o they_o do_v think_v that_o the_o soul_n be_v separate_v from_o their_o body_n do_v sleep_v unto_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n without_o feel_v or_o know_v any_o thing_n or_o else_o that_o the_o soul_n of_o man_n be_v noughte_v else_o but_o his_o life_n the_o which_o defail_v in_o dienge_n unto_o such_o time_n as_o he_o be_v raise_v up_o again_o everye_o man_n may_v see_v the_o consequence_n which_o these_o two_o error_n do_v emporte_v that_o they_o have_v speak_v never_o a_o word_n of_o these_o i_o can_v not_o tell_v whether_o it_o be_v by_o craft_n because_o they_o be_v so_o odious_a that_o by_o goodright_a they_o shall_v make_v their_o whole_a doctrine_n excerable_a for_o what_o cause_n so_o ever_o it_o be_v sing_v i_o have_v take_v upon_o i_o to_o arm_v all_o fayethful_a people_n against_o their_o false_fw-mi opinion_n it_o be_v not_o good_a that_o i_o shall_v dissimble_a these_o two_o so_o pestilent_a and_o mischevouse_n opinion_n sing_v they_o be_v commune_v to_o they_o al._n touching_n that_o some_o among_o they_o have_v hold_v opinion_n that_o all_o good_n shall_v be_v common_a also_o that_o a_o man_n may_v have_v many_o wyve_n so_o that_o they_o have_v compel_v some_o which_o be_v content_a with_o one_o to_o take_v more_o and_o a_o thousand_o other_o absurdite_n i_o will_v speak_v nothing_o at_o al._n for_o they_o then selue_o be_v confuse_v in_o their_o self_n have_v for_o the_o most_o part_n by_o littel_v and_o littel_v wtdrawē_v then selue_o but_o touching_n the_o twoe_o article_n where_o of_o i_o have_v speak_v there_o be_v a_o other_o reason_n for_o as_o much_o as_o they_o all_o do_v hold_v they_o yet_o still_o ☞_o touch_v the_o first_o which_o be_v of_o the_o body_n or_o human_a nature_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n it_o be_v to_o be_v note_v that_o there_o be_v twoe_o ancient_a heresy_n like_v or_o approaching_n unto_o this_o which_o these_o do_v hold_v for_o the_o manichee_n phantasy_v that_o jesus_n christ_n bring_v a_o heavenlye_a body_n into_o the_o womb_n of_o the_o vyrgen_n his_o mother_n the_o marcioniste_n have_v a_o vain_a dream_n some_o what_o different_a from_o the_o other_o that_o he_o have_v not_o a_o very_a substaunciall_a body_n but_o only_o a_o apperaunce_n or_o likeness_n of_o a_o body_n which_o we_o call_v a_o phatasiye_o the_o purpose_n of_o the_o one_o and_o of_o the_o other_o be_v to_o deny_v that_o jesus_n christ_n take_v flesh_n of_o the_o virgin_n therefore_o we_o see_v that_o the_o anabaptistes_n in_o this_o behalffe_n do_v but_o stir_n up_o the_o error_n which_o the_o dyvyl_n have_v raise_v more_o than_o fortene_n hundred_o year_n past_a and_o be_v coufound_v by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n notwythstand_v as_o in_o the_o beginning_n i_o have_v protest_v i_o will_v not_o that_o it_o his_o shall_v be_v any_o prejudice_n unto_o there_o cause_n except_o i_o do_v convince_v they_o first_o by_o the_o pure_a word_n of_o god_n so_o as_o if_o it_o have_v never_o be_v speak_v of_o before_o ●_o any_o man_n this_o that_o i_o do_v speak_v be_v only_o to_o geve_v warning_a that_o all_o man_n may_v know_v out_o of_o what_o fountain_n procee_v that_o which_o the_o anabaptist_n now_o bring_v forth_o as_o though_o it_o be_v revel_v unto_o they_o latlye_o from_o heaven_n and_o also_o to_o geve_v warn_v unto_o themselves_o for_o all_o the_o great_a doctor_n which_o be_v of_o their_o foot_n have_v be_v so_o ignorant_a of_o the_o history_n and_o of_o all_o ancienty_n that_o i_o think_v never_o a_o one_o of_o they_o can_v tell_v

be_v very_o notable_a that_o our_o lord_n in_o those_o place_n speak_v not_o but_o of_o they_o which_o be_v of_o age_n meet_v to_o be_v teach_v and_o which_o be_v not_o before_o of_o the_o christian_a church_n if_o we_o take_v not_o heed_n unto_o such_o circumstance_n we_o shall_v confound_v many_o place_n in_o scripture_n and_o shall_v be_v confuse_v when_o we_o do_v expound_v they_o it_o be_v say_v that_o he_o which_o do_v not_o labour_n shall_v not_o eat_v and_o yet_o there_o be_v no_o man_n so_o cruel_a as_o to_o condemn_v little_a infant_n to_o dye_v for_o hunger_n for_o everye_o man_n see_v clearlye_v that_o the_o apostle_n put_v not_o they_o in_o this_o order_n but_o speak_v only_o of_o such_o as_o be_v strong_a and_o be_v able_a see_v then_o that_o our_o lord_n in_o these_o place_n do_v make_v special_a mention_n of_o those_o which_o be_v apt_a to_o be_v teach_v and_o which_o be_v not_o before_o of_o his_o disciple_n it_o be_v a_o depravation_n and_o pervert_v of_o scripture_n to_o apply_v these_o place_n unto_o the_o young_a child_n of_o christian_n man_n which_o have_v not_o the_o capaciti_fw-la to_o understand_v and_o be_v already_o comprehend_v within_o the_o covenaunt_n of_o god_n make_v unto_o their_o father_n that_o they_o shall_v be_v of_o the_o household_n of_o the_o church_n these_o fantastical_a man_n allege_v yet_o further_o for_o they_o the_o use_n and_o practice_v of_o the_o apostle_n it_o be_v write_v in_o the_o second_o of_o the_o act_n that_o the_o four_o thousand_o man_n of_o jerusalem_n after_o that_o they_o have_v hear_v saint_n peter_n preach_v be_v touch_v in_o their_o herte_n do_v axe_n counsel_n what_o they_o ought_v to_o do_v and_o that_o faint_a peter_n answer_v they_o repent_v you_o and_o believe_v the_o gospel_n furthermore_o when_o the_o eunuchus_n require_v to_o be_v baptize_v phyllype_n answer_v he_o that_o he_o may_v be_v baptize_v if_o so_o be_v that_o he_o beleve_v with_o his_o whole_a herte_n and_o out_o of_o this_o they_o conclude_v that_o the_o apostle_n require_v that_o man_n shall_v have_v fay_v and_o repentance_n before_o they_o be_v baptize_v i_o grant_v it_o to_o be_v true_a of_o such_o man_n which_o must_v be_v receyve_v a_o new_a into_o the_o communion_n of_o the_o christian_a church_n but_o touch_v those_o child_n which_o be_v of_o the_o church_n before_o they_o issue_v out_o of_o their_o mother_n bealy_n i_o say_v there_o be_v a_o other_o reason_n for_o their_o father_n &_o auncetoure_n receyve_v the_o promise_n upon_o which_o their_o baptism_n be_v found_v it_o be_v therefore_o necessary_a that_o the_o inhabitant_n of_o jerusalem_n which_o be_v out_o of_o the_o christian_n church_n and_o which_o consent_v unto_o the_o death_n of_o our_o lord_n shall_v have_v true_a repentance_n before_o they_o shall_v have_v testimony_n through_o baptism_n that_o the_o lord_n jesus_n do_v accept_v they_o into_o the_o number_a of_o his_o faithful_a it_o be_v necessary_a that_o the_o eunuchus_n shall_v come_v unto_o the_o flock_n of_o christ_n by_o true_a fay_v before_o he_o shall_v receyve_v the_o sign_n thereof_o but_o sing_v this_o promise_n be_v make_v unto_o all_o fayethful_a man_n i_o be_o the_o god_n of_o thy_o offspr_v the_o child_n which_o descend_v of_o they_o ▪_o have_v a_o other_o privilege_n which_o be_v that_o god_n do_v knowledge_n theym_a for_o he_o for_o their_o father_n sake_n and_o least_o it_o shall_v appear_v that_o i_o do_v fain_o this_o as_o a_o dream_n out_o of_o my_o own_o head_n you_o may_v see_v that_o god_n have_v show_v the_o ensample_n in_o isaac_n it_o be_v true_a as_o we_o have_v say_v that_o abraham_n be_v instruct_v in_o the_o doctrine_n of_o faith_n and_o of_o repentance_n before_o he_o receive_v the_o sign_n of_o circumsition_n but_o after_o that_o god_n have_v receive_v he_o into_o his_o church_n he_o ordain_v that_o his_o offspr_v shall_v be_v partaker_n of_o that_o benefit_n and_o so_o isaac_n and_o all_o his_o other_o successor_n be_v circumcise_a in_o their_o infancy_n so_o now_o we_o have_v god_n for_o our_o authoure_n of_o this_o difference_n upon_o the_o which_o depend_v all_o the_o difficulty_n of_o this_o question_n ☞_o but_o because_o they_o will_v not_o admit_v this_o similitude_n which_o we_o bring_v between_o circumsition_n and_o baptysme_n it_o shall_v be_v expedient_a to_o show_v before_o we_o go_v any_o further_a that_o it_o be_v one_o thing_n when_o we_o speak_v of_o a_o sacrament_n we_o must_v consider_v that_o the_o whole_a substance_n and_o property_n ought_v to_o be_v understande_v of_o the_o doctrine_n whereof_o the_o sacrament_n be_v a_o confirmation_n let_v we_o then_o mark_v this_o that_o the_o doctrine_n be_v as_o the_o principal_a and_o the_o sacrament_n be_v as_o accessary_a now_o let_v we_o make_v comparison_n of_o baptysme_n with_o circumsition_n ☞_o baptism_n import_v pernaunce_n or_o renew_v of_o life_n with_o promise_n of_o the_o forgevenes_n of_o our_o sin_n cyrcumsition_n do_v import_v asmuch_o and_o neither_o more_o nor_o less_o that_o this_o be_v true_a towch_a repentance_n it_o be_v evydent_a as_o well_o in_o the_o book_n of_o moses_n as_o in_o the_o prophet_n where_o it_o be_v speak_v of_o the_o circumcision_n of_o our_o herte_n for_o that_o be_v that_o thing_n which_o the_o new_a testament_fw-mi call_v mortification_n of_o the_o old_a man_n in_o summa_fw-la spiritual_a circumcision_n be_v as_o much_o to_o say_v as_o repentance_n and_o for_o the_o second_o part_n which_o be_v the_o promise_n of_o forgevenes_n of_o sin_n we_o can_v have_v no_o clear_a probation_n than_o this_o sentence_n of_o s._n paulle_a where_o he_o say_v that_o circumcision_n be_v give_v to_o abraham_n for_o a_o confirmation_n of_o the_o ryghtwysnes_n which_o he_o free_o obtain_v of_o god_n through_o fay_v if_o now_o man_n make_v this_o argument_n that_o it_o be_v against_o reason_n that_o lyttel_n child_n which_o have_v neither_o faith_n nor_o repentance_n shall_v be_v baptize_v for_o as_o much_o as_o baptyme_o be_v a_o sacrament_n of_o regeneration_n and_o spiritual_a washinge_v which_o we_o have_v in_o jesus_n christ_n i_o answer_v that_o the_o like_a may_v be_v say_v of_o circumcision_n and_o yet_o god_n command_v that_o the_o young_a infant_n shall_v be_v circumcise_v and_o therefore_o it_o be_v as_o much_o as_o to_o reason_n against_o god_n when_o we_o say_v that_o it_o be_v against_o reason_n that_o a_o sacrament_n which_o be_v a_o testimony_n of_o repentance_n and_o salvation_n shall_v be_v communicate_v unto_o young_a child_n what_o shall_v we_o say_v then_o truelye_o if_o we_o count_v that_o good_a which_o god_n have_v do_v we_o have_v a_o lesson_n that_o it_o be_v not_o nedfull_a that_o the_o veritye_n which_o be_v signify_v by_o the_o sacrament_n shall_v always_o precede_v but_o that_o it_o suffice_v otherwhile_o that_o it_o follow_v at_o the_o least_o in_o part_n for_o the_o renovation_n of_o life_n be_v

they_o not_o for_o fault_n thereof_o exclude_v from_o circumcision_n which_o be_v the_o sign_n of_o the_o same_o now_o you_o see_v then_o that_o the_o sign_n go_v before_o the_o verity_n of_o that_o
