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.

chief_a point_n in_o difference_n betwixt_o we_o and_o the_o main_a thing_n he_o aim_v at_o in_o his_o book_n as_o i_o say_v in_o the_o beginning_n but_o certain_a it_o be_v the_o man_n be_v at_o a_o

the_o point_n and_o to_o answer_v the_o objection_n he_o go_v four_o way_n and_o all_o wrong_n for_o he_o bring_v not_o one_o proof_n of_o scripture_n positive_o to_o prove_v his_o minister_n lawful_a 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 last_o question_n page_n 5._o of_o his_o book_n wherefore_o i_o answer_v to_o the_o first_o of_o his_o four_o thing_n i_o have_v in_o a_o sense_n answer_v already_o by_o declare_v the_o necessity_n 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 speak_v i_o may_v say_v of_o practice_n and_o 1_o john_n 2.24_o let_v that_o therefore_o abide_v in_o you_o to_o be_v practise_v certain_o which_o you_o have_v hear_v from_o the_o beginning_n if_o

to_o his_o three_o thing_n very_o one_o similitude_n have_v as_o much_o authority_n as_o another_o therefore_o consider_v that_o as_o it_o be_v not_o lawful_a for_o any_o person_n without_o

sufficient_a call_n second_o whether_o god_n allow_v of_o any_o call_n beside_o his_o own_o whether_o inward_a or_o outward_a and_o whether_o either_o of_o these_o allow_v of_o by_o god_n be_v
