suggest Falsehoods in so saying For his very Title confutes him it is this A brief Reply c. wherein the unjust Charge of Mr. Thomas James against them i. e. the Baptists is removed N. B. is removed What doth this imply but that he hath clear'd the matter fully proved his Party innocent convincing me of Falshood in all I have written making me a Slanderer a Lyar and what not But more fully yet after the Preface to the Reader in the Title again A Brief Reply c. wherein he hath falsely charged them N. B. as will appear in the following Discourse I pray in what Page or Line is this Appearance found Where are the Proofs Is there any thing shewed but only confidently said and a gainsaying of what I had written Let impartial Readers judge if Mr. Wells's Book do not center in this and all he brings be only a contradicting the matters I published and averring that I wrote not a Word of Truth If his Title had run after this manner and he had kept to it A Challenge to Mr. J. to prove what he hath Printed against the Anabaptists about Ashford it had been tolerable but to talk of making all appear is like the rest of his Piece Thus he stumbles in the Threshold and that is very ominous for him for he falls worse and worse ever after beginning with a very Foul Lye as I shall shew by and by and ending with a Passage that overthrows all he writes Just so it is with his dealing with the Text of Scripture a Text in the very next place which he â—ets before the main Work I hope he handles his Texts to more purpose before his Congregation Prov. 18. 17. He that is first in his own Cause seemeth just but his Neighbour cometh and searchâ—th him A mighty search and because my Neighbours gave him â—ome Account very pat to the case in hand no doubt But for the â—earch if Mr. Wells had come to Ashford he might have searched â—ut somewhat enough I am sure to have stopp'd his hand but â—o search this matter at London was ridiculous He search'd it â—eems with his Friend's Eyes and Ears and so he finds just as â—uch as they of the matter i. e. whatever they would have What a stranger to the whole matter and yet search it out For â—ame Mr. Wells write to be believed I thought hearing a Reâ—ort was not searching At this rate we may search out many things 〈◊〉 these times of War with a great deal of ease what is done in â—landers France Spain Turkey and where not But if you trust Reports you may be miserably deceived though the News be told as confidently as your Friends could tell you this matter One cries Victory and makes Bonfires and sings Te Deum and yet it may be comes off with the loss Another saith nothing was done and it may be it was a great Action I think when we search to know the truth we do more than hear what Parties in the Case say and interested Persons say of it Not that I think it is impossible to know the truth by one Party and examining Witnesses on one side but when Life or Credit are at Stake it is highly unjust to go this way to believe all that is said and then boldly tell the World in Print I have searched out the whole matter and he is a Slanderer c. There is one thing further concerning Mr. Wells's Carriage which I observe and then dismiss this Head sc how unchristianly how uncharitably he carried it Why should he being a stranger to me and the whole matter believe his Ashford Friends against me altogether when he saw my Design in writing that little Piece was good and that wherein I reflected on their Carriage it was done so candidly as though I were unwilling to say what I said out of a respect to them Let the Reader consider it if I did not write candidly and express'd the matter with moderation These are the Words I began the Reflection with 'T is beside my purpose to make Reflections upon Persons of any Opinion or Persuasion in Religion besides Atheists who are its avowed Enemies The Anabaptists or Baptists as they rather chuse to call themselves are Men to whom I bear no such Grudge or Envy as to bring up any evil Report upon them as a Calumny or unjust Accusation God forbid that while I am writing for Christianity I should act so contrary to one of its Principles as to do thus They are Christians and will I doubt not espouse this Cause of our Lord with my self and there are some of them my worthy good Friends pious judicious Persons but this I must publish upon this sad occasion and I pray God the Guilty would consider it c. If this were not Courteous Candid Charitable what is Yea Mr. Wells doth own it sometimes though he forgets what he writ at other times for he calls it Flattery and a meer Pretence p. 16 17. which shews what he could not but think of it that it was very fair only he judges my Heart and acts uncharitably rendring me Evil for Good For I seriously protest I wrote this out of good Will and not fawningly But because this is the proper place I cannot but take notice of his Ignorance also in quarrelling and thinking to fasten a Reproach upon me for pretending Christian Friendship to the Anabaptists and stiling them my pious and judicious Friends and yet at the same time publishing such matters against them this he observes p. 16 17. once and again Now this I say is gross Ignorance in Mr. Wells or worse that he could not or would not distinguish and see the difference I made between some and others of the Anabaptists between the Innocent and Guilty and those who were my Friends and others I said plainly thus They are Christians c. and then I declare of some of them thus And there are some of them my worthy good Friends pious and judicious Persons then and I pray God the guilty would consider it Now all this he jumbles together and makes all the Anabaptists my worthy pious and judicious Friends and then Wonders that I dealt so by them as to accuse them thus and is not this tragical saith he to cut the Throat of your Friends Reputation But surely Mr. Wells is no Logician or the meanest ever known who cannot distinguish nor perceive a difference in so plain a Case not to apprehend that some hath others for its opposite yea that some imports a few out of many in such Sentences as these But whether he knew it or no he hath hapned upon an unlucky Fallacy in Logick which is his natural Logick it seems and I would not have him proud of it to compound what should be divided to huddle all together and so to impose a wrong Sense whereas it is true taken distinctly and apart as it â—ought And what is more common than to speak
7. and at the cleansing oâ— a Leprous Person Levit. 14. 7. From the Apostle I will learâ— the meaning of this Word rather than from any Baptist But Mr. Wells with his Learning would teach us thus p. 12. You cannot be ignorant but that Baptiso is to dip and is allowed and approved to be so by the Lexicons Dictionaries and all approved Authors that are Orthodox 'T is well he did not say only to Dip for then I know what he had said and 't is rare to find a Scholaâ— so weak as not for to allow it Truly 't is rare to find a Baptist though he cannot read one Word of Greek or understand Latin and yet not to talk and write of the Sense of 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 as though they had consulted Lexicons Dictionaries and whaâ— not But is not this a fine begging of the Question Whâ— ever denied Dipping to be Baptizing But Mr. Wells's Friendâ— at Ashford might be ashamed to say that no other application oâ— Water is Baptizing and that this Woman was not Baptised For I pray what learned Man ever rendred the Word 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 only to Dip exclusively to all other significations I have noâ— search'd as before-times Lexicons and Dictionaries and finâ— the Word rendred indeed to Dip but also to Wash yea anâ— to Sprinkle there comes in an Item là vo abluo And surely 〈◊〉 is a significant Word as well as Imprimis Every Tradesman knows this Indeed at the rate some Baptists writ and report the Words of the Learned they would perswade silly People all the learned Men were almost Anabaptists yea and 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Self-condemned being as they are in Opinion though of a contrary Practice They make some speak a few Words and say 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 is to Dip to plunge in Water but then as it were stop their Mouths and cry hold whereas good Men might they go on they would add to Wash to pour on Water to Sprinkle And their Quotations are much of this kind very deceitful per saltum and keeping back a material part and so making them to speak very favourably for them the very thing we are upon proves this Mr. Wells saith Baptiso is to Dip as Lexicons c. say as though that were all and it is needless to make a Digression to shew it by their Quotations of Zanchy Piscater Calvin Poole c. But I would fain know who can prove our Lord Jesus Christ himself was Dipped or Plunged in his Baptism or that any of those Baptized ones spoken of in the New Testament were so Dipped or Plunged Not a Word that ever I yet read did prove I say soundly prove it Probability is no proof of this Degree Opinion is not Faith An immersion there might be and yet not a total one or it may be some other application as by pouring on of Water That Baptism was oft performed of old by Dipping I gainsay not but that there were other ways is certain also Pray let Mr. Wells construe these Words Fundere aquam infundere and sometimes Javare abluere found oftentimes in the Writings of the Antients yea and sometimes Aspergere for Baptizing Also let him unriddle how they Baptized some in Prisons and in their Beds sick of Feavours in Sweats c. as Augustine tells us at large of a Friend of his If this were not done by some other way than by Dipping the whole Body let Mr. Wells declare how that could be But shall we call in question at this day the Baptism of all those in former Ages who were not Dipp'd and strike so many Saints and Martyrs out of the Roll of the Baptized who are now in Heaven An horrible boldness to speak at this rate But let them take heed for how as I said can they prove our Lord himself was so Dipped I am sure one ancient Writer was of another mind and surely he was not alone even Aurelius Prudentius who sings thus of it being a famous Christian Poet flourishing about thirteen hundred Years since Perfundit fluvio pastus Baptista locustis i. e. John the Baptist poured some of the Water of the River on him our Baptist would teach him to say Immergit fluvio c. but it seems he knew better or at least thought otherwise And Bernard a later Writer by far and yet not very late neither for he lived about five hundred Years ago and hath the Honour if I mistake not to be called by some the last of the Fathers hath this notable Expression Infundit aquam capiti creatoris creatura-nobilior Dei verticem mortalis dextra contrectat contingit i. e. John the Baptist that noble Creature poured Water on the Head of the Creator and the Right Hand of a Man touched and handled the Head of God I do not produce these Testimonies as though I would maintain that our Lord Jesus was not Dipped but only to shew the boldness of those Persons who cavil at the Baptism of all such as are not plunged in Water and do by crying up Dipp'd or Damn'd trouble the weak and drive them into a dangerous Melancholy Yea what if the Eunuch went down into the Water Acts 8. 38. or Christ came up out of the Water Matth. 3. 16 Mark 1. 10. though by the way 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 is only he came up from the Water not out of it What doth this prove Dipping a total immersion Surely they that say this may say any thing But now we are speaking of Baptism I cannot but take notice of Mr. Wells's Confidence to call Infant Baptism a Scriptureless Notion p. 14. and p. 13 14. he saith Sprinkling of Infants is a new Doctrine a Scriptueless thing that is not to be found from the beginning of Genesis to the end of the Revelations What a new Doctrine Let the famous Calvin be heard whom I chuse to quote because I have seeâ— him quoted in their Books as one that wrote for their Opinion 'T is in that Chapter which he calls his Appendix to the forme of Baptism written on purpose against the Anabaptists as the Title and the first Words declare The Title this Poedobaptismum cuâ— Christi institutione signi natura optimè congruere i. e. Infanâ— Baptism's agreement with Christ's Institution and the nature of the Sign The first Words are these Quoniam autem hoc sâ—culo phrenetici quidum Spiritus ob Poedobaptismum graves excitarunt iâ— Ecclesia turbas c. i. e. Whereas in this Age some phrensical or enthusiastical Persons have raised great stirs in the Church about Infant Baptism and do not cease at this day to cause the same Tumults I cannot but subjoin this Appendix to restrain their Fury Now the Passage I would quote out of this notable Chapter is this Quod autem apud simplicem vulgum disseminaret longam annorum seriem post Christi resurrectionem praeteriisse quibus incognitus erat Poedobaptismus in eo Foedissimè Mentiuntur
saith my Author at Newark for being told that one had cut a Purse in Newark the King without any legal Process or the defence of the Party signed a Warrant to the Sheriff of Lincolnshire to hang him which was executed accordingly And this saith he was a Blot in the Scutcheon of King James the First The Romans were so just as never to put any Man to death in this manner This is indeed against the very Light of Nature to judge and condemn upon meer Reports without hearing the other side Not only Life but a good Name are too precious to be cast away at this rate One would think that Mr. Well 's never went to a Latin School or was read in such Authors or how could he but have called to mind that Golden Sentence of Seneca Qui statuit aliquid parte inaudita altera Aequam licet statuerit haud aequus fuerit Had his Sentence been just yet without hearing first what I had to say for my self it had been unjust from him But still they were some Friends gave him this Account Were his Friends therefore Infallible Could they not possibly misinform him What an implicite Faith was this How just like the Proceedings of the Spanish Inquisition The Tribunal erected de propaganda fide wherein the Accusers are examined in secret and the poor Prisoner is a Stranger to all that passeth till they begin to thunder against him and proceed to torture and Sentence and Execution But might not these Men my Accusers to Mr. Wells after so many Months running to and fro and stirring in the matter at last give in some false Evidence I am sure they did and that notoriously as I will evince by and by and I will perswade my self having so much Charity for him that Mr. Wells will own it Had but the Letter he had sent me with his Book been sent but some Months before his pains and trouble might have been spared and his Credit saved whereas now he hath brought himself into a Snare to gratifie his Friends who impos'd upon his Credulity so that he Prints gross Falsehoods never seeking to clear the matters to himself before he set Pen to Paper How vain was it for him to write thus to me in his private Letter Worthy Sir It s very unpleasant to me to be troublesome to any but I cannot well avoid giving you the trouble of these Lines Alas the trouble of reading a Letter is not much but surely it would trouble any Christian to be thus slandered in Print especially when writing a few Lines a little sooner and taking that small trouble might have prevented so great Calumnies What was this but to shoot secretly at me and also to wound me openly and then to desire me not to be troubled because he is so kind to tell me what he hath done Like those rude Persons who cry By your leave Sir when they have first shewed you some Incivility or done a Man some diskindness But then he desires me not to take unkindly what he hath Printed for saith he I have been as tender of you as the matter will bear but if you suppose me to be mistaken assign wherein and I shall God willing labour to give you satisfaction c. Great Tenderness indeed and a wonderful Care not to grieve me with what was Printed But wherein doth it appear Resolved it seems he was or his Friends rather for he saith in his Reply p. last He was sure he did it unwillingly or both were so resolv'd and eager to expose me in Print But what satisfaction shall I now have Will Mr. Wells confess his Fault as publickly and declare himself in an Errour yea that he hath wronged an innocent Person and a Stranger That he hath traduced me in a very shameful manner That he hath acted most unadvisedly Hand over Head as we say and very Unchristianly not seeking out the Truth as he ought and easily might before he past Sentence and condemned me openly Truly at the first of my Books coming forth and the Noise and Speeches of the Anabaptists about me threatning grievously I did expect something in Print for what do they not dare to do of this nature yea and delight in it also but when it had lain by so many Months I was a little surprized to find it done but especially to be managed by a Stranger whose Name I know not I ever heard before I read it in his Letters Nay I find by their own Confession he is a Stranger to those very Men some at least by the Confession of one of them to me who set him on Work i. e him or any body else could be procured If my Neighbours could not write themselves and yet three of them are Teachers and one hath been offering at it scribling out many Sheets in the point of Controversie nor find a Man nearer than London yet surely he should have considered better with himself and not have been so hardy as to have written in a Case wherein he knew not one thing or other not the Person accused nor what defence he could make and how he could justifie himself and make good his Charge only being informed by those whose Interest it was to blast what I had written When the Apostle Paul had heard of the Disorders in the Church of Corinth How doth he write to them about it 〈…〉 Why thus When ye come together in the Church I hear that there bâ— divisions among you and I partly believe it He partly believed what he only heard by report but Mr. Wells roundly takes up the matter reported to him by his Friends against me and believes every Word which the wise Man brands for Simplicity The Simple saith he believes every Word Ah! Mr. Wells had you acted morâ— charitably and cautiously you had not discover'd your self so fa 〈…〉 nor done me this wrong your Folly had not been manifested nor had I suffered so much as this groundless Suspicion of evil doing which you prompt the World to as you have represented mâ— But I hope Mr. Wells will pardon me that I bear so hard upon him For my Vindication doth not a little depend upon it though yet have clear Proofs to produce also It was not only Folly and Injustice in Mr. Wells to do thus but it may be a sufficient Argumenâ— to the World that what he hath written against me is of nâ— value for they were my Adversaries who gave him Instructionâ— surely it was so and he did not write of himself and he Prinâ— only upon hear-say from such as bestirr'd themselves to throw oâ—â— the Charge was laid against them But now if Mr. Wells thinâ— or pretend that I have done him wrong in all this as though he haâ— only written to enquire into the truth as he saith in his Preface His great end is to find out the Offenders and that this is his great Enquiry let him know that therein he doth abuse his Readers and
and cry out That I will give no Proofs or Satisfaction I appeal to those few present at that time when they attended me to use Mr. Well's own Words p. 9. after the publishing my Book I appeal I say to the Consciences of their Three Teachers whether I did not name several guilty of the things I laid to their Charge But to clear all at once and to satisfie their longing desires so far as is any ways meet and â—it of assigning Persons both those who were troubled and almost distracted by the Anabaptists urging it upon them to be Dipp'd as ever they hoped to go to Heaven and be saved and those who did trouble them laying this mighty stress upon Dipping I say to put an end to all that I may clear my self and shew how able I am every way to vindicate my self from the foul Slanders cast on me and to make my Charge good to a tittle let Mr. Wells know that I have several Depositions of Persons by me which fully prove the matter in Hand subscribed freely and which will be readiâ—y attested and solemnly upon just occasion Behold one in Form â—s I have it by me with so me others I N. N. do own and testifie That N. N. hath divers times and to my great Vexation and disquietude urged me to be Dipped setting forth the absolute necessity thereof to Salvation inveighing against those who practised Infant Baptism as Antichristian and urging me to be Dipped as ever I expected to enter into the Kingdom of God Witness my Hand N. N. But alas should I go about to lay open the Practises of the Anabaptists about us and reveal what many poor weak Christians have told me with great bitterness of Spirit how burthensome their very Life was to them by reason of their importunate Sollicitations to bring them to be dipped and their Desperate Speeches striking an Horrour into their Minds vexing their Souls continually it would I doubt sound very strange to many Readers But so it is in truth and yet forsooth these Persons would fain be counted innocent and cry out of the wrong I have done them One instance I cannot but produce and that a little largely it being so material and I am glad as the Case is to take the opportunity to let the World know it and judge thereof And because Mr. Wells hath sprinkled here and there a little of the point of Controversie and his Ashford Friends make advantage of his Reply such as it is to scatter their Books among us and surely the like was never known for to this Book of his they have tack'd another stitch'd them together yea and more than so at the end of his Reply there are these few Lines Printed to couple them together And as to the point of Baptism we refer that to the following Treatise formerly written by another Hand intituled The Reason why c. Good Mr. Wells why did you not send me a perfect Copy But I suppose you thought I should hardly be caught with your Chaff and therefore a few Books were provided for my self and such as could better judge what was written Truly this was civilly done not to trouble me with any more Books than your own and now it seems I have nothing to do to answer any thing but your Reply this is a kindness I acknowledge I say because Mr. Wells hath scattered up and down somewhat of Controversie I think it convenient to give a touch or two to the same to prevent Mistakes and Error and to send forth an Antidote for others as well as a Vindication for my self The instance by which I take occasion to write this was this A Woman aged near Forty Years came to me to be baptized Upon instructing her in the Principles of Christian Religion and her answering to such Questions about the same as seemed to me necessary first having consulted the Practice of other Churches in like Cases and professing her Faith and Repentance I baptized her on a Lord's Day in the Evening before the Communicants Now quickly upon her being so baptized the matter being noised abroad she was set upon by the Anabaptists even as I have represented the too common Practice of some of them and one of them in their Communion which they cannot disown did exceedingly perplex this poor Woman with Questions and Cavillings asking her what Faith she had in what was done and speaking against it as no Baptism seeing she was not dipped This really disturbed her so that she lamented it to me not that she was unsetled or believed them but because they followed her with such Discourses giving her no rest Yea at the very time of writing this which is now about two Years since her being so baptized the Design is carried on very busily to proselite her She declares to me how she is continually disquieted by that Party she now tells it me with Tears that she is wearied by them and hath desired them to let her rest being well satisfied in her Baptism But that which is yet more considerable is this At the time when those three Teachers were with me about about my Book among others whom they press'd me to name and instance in I named this Woman and represented the Evil of this Practice in going about thus to disquiet a poor weak Woman who was baptized so authentickly as one would think all Christians should allow being an adult Person having profess'd her Faith and Repentance before the Administration of the Sacrament Hereupon one of them had the confidence to tell me it was indeed no Baptism Monstrous Doctrine What will become of Christians at this rate and what hope can Millions have to whom it hath been applied in any other way than that of the Baptists What can a Mode destroy the Essence of the Ordinance and shall the Application of Water in a less quantity render it altogether ineffectual and destroy its end and efficacy When the Name of the true God Father Son and Holy Ghost is put upon the Person and the true Element of Water is used and the principal end of its application signified which is washing the Soul with Christ's Blood and purifying it by the blessed Spirit and all is done by a Minister ordained to that Office Is not this Baptism O but she was not dipped and that is Baptism and that only Poor ignorant confident Men thus to cavil The Word 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 chosen by Christ and the Holy Ghost doth signifie to wash as well as to dip it signifies a washing with Water not only a total immersion but a partial not only a Dipping but other applications of Water to wash Yea it is certain that some of those diverse Washings under the Law spoken of by the Apostle Heb. 9. 10. which he calleth 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 were not total immersions but partial of one parâ— of the Body and another and even Sprinklings as at the Consecration of the Levites Numb 8. 5 6
sent nor sought occasion but was invited and importuried and then how could I do less out of respect to my Office as a Minister of Jesus Christ I went not with a design to make a Proselyte as Mr. Wells hints p. 10. saying You could not prosclyte him yet if Mr. Wells's Friends had not been with him presently after me 't is probable my Advice might have done more good but now it is in vain to guess at it 〈◊〉 for if I did him any good it seems they quickly marr'd it If that Salve of Sprinkling in his Infancy were applied to him for his Spiritual Sore it might very well distract him What if it were not applied then here is just nothing said a Reply to no purpose But what a dreadful consequence doth Mr. Wells draw from thence supposing it were so then it might very well distract him A dreadful Reflection indeed a terrible Charge against Infant Baptism For my part I reflected only upon the unadvised Carriage of some Baptists and their rash Zeal to promote their Opinion and to make Proselytes their indirect and evil Practices their bold and bitter Speeches but I should have been ashamed to have branded their Doctrine thus Where Mr. Wells's Moderation is I know not it doth not appear in his Reply But I hope he doth not mean a perfect Distraction but only a little hurry of mind and that his next Words are exegetical and lessen the Sense as it follows and he nâ— suffer a little by such inconsiderate and blind Zeal Let it bâ— so taken even in the best Sense for the other is very foul anâ— grose And that the World may be sure to know who you mean you repeat the name Anabaptists as you falsely put upon them and say whâ— they rather chose to call themselves Baptists Good Mr. Wells how did you read this Methinks you read as badly as you writ How could you say I repeated the Name Anabaptists What did you mistake Atheists in the Lines before for Anabaptists For I never repeated this Word Read Anabaptist twice if you can and surely Anabaptist and Baptist are not one and the same Name for you write your self a Baptist yet say I falsely put the Name Anabaptist upon you But why falsely put upon you 'T is the proper Name of those of your Opinion though it may be you like it not and if we call you Baptists it is a Favour which Favour I was willing to shew you I mean those of your Opinion but you acknowledge it not but are angry yea if we call you not Anabaptists we do in a sort disown our own Baptism and Principles about that point For we say and doubt not we are able to prove it that Infants are truly Baptized as well as the Adult But you Baptize such as were so Baptized in Infancy and therefore are Anabaptists and the Name truly agrees to you which signifies Rebaptizers For my part I am not for long and hard Names Sesquipedalia verba or else I had us'd that Name of Caâ—apaedobaptists but I judged the other both proper and best known and I do not see why it should be a matter of Offence to you to use it I am sure 't is of no great Moment however I used these two promiscuously Anabaptist and Baptist not designing to reproach you by the Name no nor any otherwise seeking occasision so to do as you have too oft suggested but only to write most properly which is according to common speech and as may be best understood FINIS Reader I Would desire thee to be so Candid as to correct the Faults thou maist find and not to censure me too hardly for the â—ame for I could not be present at the Press and I am sensible that as I have suffered in this kind already so I may still suffer notwithstanding all the Care and Precaution I have used BOOKS Printed for John John Lawrence at the Angel in the Poultrey MR.
