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.

either_o that_o sinful_a lust_n must_v off_o or_o else_o that_o member_n that_o act_v it_o must_v off_o rather_o than_o to_o be_v employ_v in_o the_o devil_n service_n to_o sin_n against_o god_n and_o if_o nut_n trample_v this_o under_o his_o foot_n as_o unsavoury_a salt_n it_o declare_v plain_o that_o he_o have_v no_o relish_n as_o yet_o of_o heavenly_a thing_n after_o this_o nut_n move_v a_o question_n say_v if_o this_o be_v the_o truth_n that_o hand_n foot_n and_o eye_n be_v member_n most_o eminent_a in_o church_n how_o come_v it_o to_o pass_v that_o this_o truth_n have_v be_v keep_v

advice_n of_o his_o neighbour_n who_o will_v have_v counsel_v he_o better_o if_o he_o have_v tell_v they_o that_o he_o have_v some_o carne_a business_n with_o some_o of_o the_o eminent_a member_n of_o the_o body_n politic_a they_o will_v have_v say_v to_o he_o do_v not_o go_v to_o the_o foot_n &_o why_o not_o to_o the_o foot_n because_o it_o be_v not_o one_o of_o the_o eminent_a member_n of_o the_o body_n politic_a it_o be_v very_o likely_a some_o child_n may_v have_v convince_v his_o folly_n but_o than_o it_o may_v be_v he_o will_v reply_v and_o say_v the_o foot_n be_v eminent_a in_o the_o mystical_a body_n but_o now_o turn_v to_o the_o place_n and_o see_v how_o god_n have_v set_v the_o member_n in_o the_o body_n 1_o cor._n 12_o 18._o and_o there_o you_o shall_v see_v how_o he_o

vers_fw-la 15._o again_o he_o speak_v to_o those_o that_o be_v eminent_a that_o they_o shall_v not_o despise_v the_o weak_a one_o say_v the_o eye_n can_v say_v to_o the_o hand_n i_o have_v no_o need_n of_o thou_o nor_o the_o head_n to_o the_o foot_n i_o have_v no_o need_n of_o you_o vers_n 21._o thus_o you_o see_v the_o foot_n be_v not_o the_o eminent_a member_n of_o the_o church_n but_o rather_o in_o the_o mean_a place_n of_o all_o now_o if_o this_o be_v so_o how_o will_v nut_n prove_v his_o truth_n he_o say_v have_v be_v hide_v so_o long_o here_o i_o will_v not_o proceed_v to_o his_o rot_a

or_o church_n but_o visible_a disciple_n i_o answer_v with_o a_o demand_n of_o he_o why_o they_o be_v call_v hidden_a one_o psal_n 83.3_o if_o they_o be_v hide_v they_o be_v not_o visible_a and_o

of_o a_o oath_n three_o we_o ought_v to_o swear_v in_o judgement_n that_o be_v he_o that_o swear_v right_o aught_o to_o know_v the_o nature_n of_o a_o oath_n and_o be_v able_a to_o judge_v of_o the_o

that_o have_v no_o fear_n of_o god_n in_o his_o heart_n ought_v not_o to_o swear_v this_o may_v suffice_v our_o anabaptist_n concern_v the_o lawful_a use_n of_o swear_v especial_o that_o oath_n of_o
