A37722	Baptismes in their verity: or, The baptisme of John, and the baptisme of Christ what they are in truth, as they are described in the scriptures of truth. And of what necessitie they are unto salvation. In a plain and brief manner herein declared. By one of the most unworthy servants of Christ, J.E.	J. E.	1648 (1648)	Wing E13A; ESTC R215328	20,684	42

all_o this_o that_o may_v give_v occasion_n for_o any_o man_n just_o to_o say_v or_o think_v that_o god_n the_o father_n or_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n shall_v bind_v any_o man_n leg_n and_o then_o command_v they_o to_o go_v and_o to_o do_v this_o or_o that_o as_o the_o freewill_n teacher_n will_v infer_v but_o i_o wish_v that_o he_o will_v tell_v we_o plain_o the_o cause_n why_o some_o man_n do_v repent_v and_o believe_v and_o be_v save_v and_o not_o all_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v as_o some_o do_v that_o it_o be_v because_o some_o man_n will_v and_o some_o will_v not_o then_o i_o ask_v he_o the_o reason_n or_o cause_n of_o this_o great_a difference_n of_o will_n in_o man_n that_o one_o shall_v have_v a_o will_n to_o will_n unto_o life_n eternal_a and_o another_o to_o will_v unto_o death_n eternal_a if_o he_o say_v it_o be_v by_o god_n work_n of_o creation_n in_o the_o womb_n or_o in_o adam_n than_o he_o make_v god_n to_o be_v the_o author_n of_o the_o evil_a as_o well_o as_o of_o the_o good_a which_o he_o will_v seem_v by_o his_o doctrine_n to_o avoid_v if_o he_o say_v it_o be_v by_o the_o operation_n of_o the_o heaven_n sun_n moon_n or_o star_n which_o mathematics_n say_v cause_n several_a disposition_n in_o man_n some_o to_o evil_a and_o some_o to_o good_a then_o he_o make_v those_o creature_n the_o cause_n which_o be_v very_o heathenish_a neither_o can_v they_o cause_v such_o a_o difference_n in_o man_n will_n as_o to_o life_n and_o death_n eternal_a nay_o then_o may_v those_o people_n be_v excuse_v who_o adore_v they_o as_o go_n therefore_o we_o say_v there_o be_v no_o such_o difference_n of_o will_n but_o all_o man_n heart_n be_v by_o nature_n since_o the_o first_o fall_n of_o adam_n and_o because_o thereof_o hard_a and_o their_o will_n stubborn_a and_o bend_v to_o ill_a who_o fruit_n be_v death_n and_o it_o be_v by_o the_o special_a operation_n of_o god_n from_o heaven_n that_o any_o man_n heart_n and_o will_n be_v bring_v to_o repent_v and_o believe_v unto_o life_n eternal_a to_o be_v so_o bear_v of_o water_n and_o of_o the_o spirit_n without_o which_o no_o man_n can_v be_v save_v no_o nor_o child_n how_o young_a soever_o and_o it_o be_v true_a god_n do_v not_o effect_n or_o bring_v this_o to_o pass_v in_o every_o man_n neither_o do_v he_o so_o determine_v any_o more_o than_o he_o do_v to_o keep_v those_o angl_n that_o fall_v or_o

of_o his_o mercy_n whereof_o paul_n speak_v rom._n 9.22_o 23._o and_o which_o sundry_a other_o scripture_n do_v so_o often_o make_v mention_n of_o and_o declare_v to_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n and_o comfort_n of_o his_o choose_a and_o it_o be_v also_o true_a that_o as_o god_n do_v not_o decree_n or_o will_v to_o save_v all_o man_n so_o neither_o do_v he_o decree_v or_o will_v the_o destruction_n of_o all_o nor_o of_o any_o man_n but_o upon_o those_o just_a ground_n and_o cause_n in_o themselves_o before_o declare_v which_o he_o foresee_v and_o so_o man_n be_v say_v to_o be_v ordain_v of_o old_a to_o condemnation_n and_o esau_n to_o he_o hate_v before_o he_o have_v do_v good_a or_o evil_n yet_o do_v he_o not_o ordain_v sin_n nor_o make_v death_n nor_o do_v he_o ever_o break_v the_o bruise_a reed_n nor_o quench_v the_o smoke_a flax_n nor_o will_v or_o desire_v the_o death_n of_o a_o sinner_n but_o rather_o that_o he_o shall_v return_v and_o live_v as_o it_o be_v write_v and_o so_o it_o be_v true_a and_o clear_a that_o the_o salvation_n of_o man_n be_v mere_o and_o free_o of_o god_n through_o jesus_n christ_n and_o his_o destruction_n be_v of_o himself_o and_o this_o
