A47167	A refutation of three opposers of truth by plain evidence of the holy Scripture, viz. I. Of Pardon Tillinghast, who pleadeth for water-baptism, its being a Gospel-precept, and opposeth Christ within, as a false Christ. To which is added, something concerning the Supper, &c. II. Of B. Keech, in his book called, A tutor for children, where he disputeth against the sufficiency of the light within, in order of salvation; and calleth Christ in the heart, a false Christ in the secret chamber. II. Of Cotton Mather, who in his appendix to his book, called, Memorable providences, relating to witchcrafts, &c. doth so weakly defend his father Increase Mather from being justly chargeable with abusing the honest people called Quakers, that he doth the more lay open his fathers nakedness; and beside the abuses and injuries that his father had cast upon that people, C. Mather, the son, addeth new abuses of his own. And a few words of a letter to John Cotton, called a minister, at Plymouth in New England. By George Keith.

of_o god_n reveal_v in_o he_o and_o therefore_o he_o may_v well_o command_v it_o for_o that_o time_n though_o no_o gospel_n precept_n but_o whereas_o thou_o say_v that_o peter_n and_o the_o apostle_n do_v command_v in_o christ_n jesus_n the_o lord_n name_v water_n baptism_n be_v a_o thing_n utter_o false_a the_o scripture_n say_v no_o such_o thing_n but_o that_o peter_n command_v they_o to_o be_v baptize_v in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n so_o that_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v relative_a to_o their_o be_v baptize_v &_o not_o to_o the_o command_n and_o their_o be_v baptize_v in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n do_v plain_o signify_v that_o their_o be_v baptize_v with_o water_n be_v some_o outward_a sign_n that_o they_o become_v the_o lord_n and_o be_v true_a believer_n in_o he_o next_o whereas_o thou_o say_v i_o affirm_v that_o water_n baptism_n be_v at_o that_o time_n a_o abolish_v ceremony_n be_v false_a i_o say_v no_o such_o thing_n it_o be_v beginning_n to_o be_v abolish_n and_o decay_v and_o be_v decrease_v as_o john_n say_v in_o respect_n of_o his_o baptism_n i_o must_v decrease_v but_o christ_n must_v increase_v but_o that_o it_o be_v then_o total_o abolish_v i_o say_v not_o for_o it_o can_v not_o be_v safe_o abolish_v all_o at_o once_o but_o by_o degree_n and_o after_o some_o time_n as_o i_o have_v above_o demonstrate_v and_o now_o that_o i_o call_v this_o three_o and_o last_o dispensation_n that_o begin_v to_o take_v place_n after_o the_o death_n and_o resurrection_n of_o christ_n the_o pure_a and_o perfect_a dispensation_n of_o the_o gospel_n i_o understand_v it_o not_o as_o if_o the_o first_o and_o second_o dispensation_n before_o and_o under_o moses_n or_o before_o and_o under_o christ_n as_o he_o be_v present_a in_o the_o flesh_n have_v any_o mixture_n or_o impurity_n of_o sin_n or_o evil_n nay_o far_o be_v it_o from_o i_o but_o i_o call_v it_o pure_a and_o perfect_a as_o have_v none_o of_o these_o figure_n and_o type_n of_o the_o law_n mix_v with_o it_o as_o formerly_z and_o though_o the_o apostle_n after_o the_o give_v of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n do_v grow_v up_o into_o the_o attainment_n of_o this_o most_o pure_a and_o perfect_a gospel_n state_n and_o dispensation_n yet_o many_o christian_n who_o have_v a_o measure_n of_o sincere_a faith_n in_o christ_n be_v short_a of_o it_o and_o for_o the_o cause_n of_o such_o who_o be_v weak_a and_o but_o as_o babe_n in_o christ_n they_o see_v it_o meet_v in_o the_o wisdom_n of_o god_n to_o use_v it_o for_o some_o time_n but_o after_o the_o day_n of_o the_o apostle_n and_o their_o successor_n about_o three_o or_o four_o hundred_o year_n thereafter_o the_o true_a gospel_n spirit_n be_v general_o lose_v a_o remnant_n except_v of_o hide_a one_o who_o in_o some_o measure_n retain_v it_o and_o the_o inward_a power_n of_o godliness_n depart_v from_o and_o then_o water_n baptism_n and_o many_o other_o thing_n belong_v to_o the_o outward_a form_n become_v as_o a_o dead_a thing_n and_o be_v more_o fit_a to_o be_v bury_v than_o to_o be_v use_v and_o none_o ought_v to_o presume_v to_o raise_v it_o up_o again_o unless_o it_o can_v be_v say_v that_o the_o power_n of_o god_n have_v raise_v it_o or_o renew_v it_o in_o the_o user_n or_o practiser_n of_o it_o and_o that_o they_o can_v sincere_o say_v and_o prove_v that_o god_n have_v send_v they_o or_o give_v they_o authority_n to_o use_v water_n baptism_n and_o other_o the_o like_a thing_n but_o this_o i_o do_v not_o find_v that_o any_o call_v baptist_n so_o much_o as_o pretend_v unto_o and_o if_o they_o do_v pretend_v to_o it_o their_o bare_a pretence_n without_o some_o real_a and_o effectual_a prooff_o be_v not_o to_o be_v believe_v and_o that_o peter_n cause_v water-baptism_n to_o be_v administer_v to_o cornelius_n and_o other_o gentile_n do_v not_o prove_v it_o to_o be_v a_o gospel_n precept_n for_o under_o the_o law_n the_o gentile_n who_o become_v proselyte_n of_o the_o

and_o see_v it_o be_v so_o common_o practise_v by_o the_o jew_n as_o well_o before_o john_n time_n as_o then_o and_o thereafter_o as_o both_o jewish_a and_o christian_a writer_n affirm_v and_o as_o the_o epistle_n to_o the_o hebrew_n do_v plain_o declare_v heb._n 9.10_o how_o that_o the_o law_n have_v its_o divers_a baptism_n so_o the_o greek_a translate_v into_o english_a wash_n and_o carnal_a

see_v beyond_o the_o figure_n of_o the_o law_n and_o be_v true_o endow_v in_o great_a part_n with_o a_o gospel_n spirit_n that_o thou_o say_v if_o water_n baptism_n have_v not_o be_v comprehend_v in_o

receive_v the_o blessing_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o many_o other_o the_o like_a case_n may_v be_v mention_v thou_o give_v a_o very_a strange_a and_o exceed_a strain_a gloss_n upon_o paul_n word_n that_o he_o be_v not_o send_v to_o baptize_v but_o to_o preach_v the_o gospel_n to_o wit_n that_o water_n baptism_n be_v not_o so_o bind_v to_o paul_n or_o any_o other_o send_v to_o preach_v the_o

as_o john_n timothy_n and_o other_o but_o what_o then_o what_o paul_n command_v other_o disciple_n to_o do_v be_v all_o one_o as_o if_o he_o have_v do_v it_o himself_o as_o thou_o argue_v in_o another_o case_n but_o not_o to_o thy_o purpose_n and_o therefore_o it_o can_v be_v reasonable_o judge_v that_o if_o paul_n have_v be_v send_v to_o baptize_v either_o by_o himself_o or_o make_v use_n of_o other_o to_o assist_v he_o in_o that_o work_n he_o will_v have_v say_v he_o be_v not_o send_v to_o baptize_v for_o that_o will_v imply_v a_o plain_a contradiction_n to_o be_v send_v and_o not_o to_o be_v send_v but_o this_o thy_o strained_a gloss_n on_o paul_n word_n be_v ground_v upon_o a_o mere_a supposition_n of_o thou_o that_o paul_n be_v send_v to_o baptize_v with_o water_n which_o thou_o have_v not_o in_o the_o least_o prove_v nor_o be_v ever_o like_a to_o do_v matth._n 28._o say_v nothing_o of_o water_n thy_o similitude_n betwixt_o solomon_n temple_n and_o the_o
