A77739	A confutation of the Anabaptists, and all others who affect not civill government; proving the lawfullnesse of it: and a full answer to all their cavills, that are, or can be made against it. With a nut-cracker for an unnaturall nut, whose shell is as hard as the scales of Leviathan, and the kernell of his heart as hard as a piece of the nether mill-stone, Iob 41.15.24. yet the hammer of Gods word that breaketh in pieces the rocks, Ier. 23.29. will break this nut, that all may see the devillish kernell that is in it. Also arguments against the Anabaptists, proving that infants borne of Christian parents ought to be baptized: with a full answer to all their cavills that are (or can be) made against it.

a_o live_a law_n now_o the_o jew_n have_v three_o sort_n of_o law_n the_o ceremonial_a which_o be_v to_o they_o a_o dark_a gospel_n show_v forth_o christ_n to_o they_o in_o dark_a type_n and_o

that_o liberty_n leave_v they_o to_o make_v such_o law_n as_o they_o shall_v foresee_v to_o be_v most_o profitable_a for_o they_o but_o they_o must_v be_v frame_v after_o the_o perpetual_a rule_n of_o
