text_n say_v no_o such_o thing_n and_o john_n bunyan_n himself_o have_v often_o acknowledge_v baptism_n of_o water_n to_o be_v a_o holy_a ordinance_n of_o christ_n pag._n 123._o general_o practise_v

of_o the_o spirit_n for_o by_o one_o spirit_n be_v we_o all_o baptize_v into_o one_o body_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v the_o baptism_n of_o the_o spirit_n be_v not_o general_a and_o so_o can_v not_o

have_v communion_n with_o such_o because_o they_o also_o have_v the_o doctrine_n of_o baptism_n i_o say_v the_o doctrine_n of_o they_o for_o here_o you_o must_v note_v i_o distinguish_v between_o the_o doctrine_n and_o practice_n of_o water-baptism_n etc._n etc._n they_o have_v the_o best_a of_o baptism_n the_o heart_n of_o water-baptism_n the_o doctrine_n of_o water-baptism_n and_o want_v

by_o his_o word_n wherefore_o no_o marvel_n that_o his_o mind_n be_v blind_v and_o his_o understanding_n darken_v that_o he_o may_v believe_v lie_n and_o deceive_v himself_o with_o fallacy_n as_o he_o do_v in_o the_o aforementioned_a reason_n where_o he_o tell_v we_o of_o some_o of_o his_o proselyte_n that_o have_v the_o doctrine_n of_o baptism_n but_o do_v not_o practice_v it_o because_o they_o want_v light_a therein_o what_o a_o contradiction_n be_v this_o if_o they_o want_v light_n they_o can_v have_v the_o doctrine_n if_o they_o have_v the_o doctrine_n they_o must_v have_v light_n so_o far_o as_o to_o know_v it_o and_o therefore_o john_n bunyan_n distinction_n between_o the_o doctrine_n and_o practice_n of_o water-baptism_n will_v nothing_o avail_v we_o ready_o allow_v that_o and_o oftentimes_o find_v that_o many_o have_v the_o doctrine_n although_o not_o without_o light_n without_o the_o practice_n who_o it_o seem_v be_v such_o as_o john_n bunyan_n be_v bold_a to_o have_v communion_n with_o he_o may_v well_o say_v bold_a for_o he_o have_v no_o scripture-warrant_a for_o it_o and_o it_o be_v a_o great_a boldness_n to_o adventure_v in_o church-communion_n beyond_o what_o be_v write_v yea_o contrary_a to_o what_o be_v write_v for_o our_o saviour_n say_v luk._n 12.47_o he_o that_o know_v his_o lord_n will_n that_o have_v the_o doctrine_n of_o a_o duty_n and_o prepare_v

to_o consider_v he_o seem_v pag._n 122._o to_o be_v conscious_a to_o himself_o that_o some_o may_v judge_v he_o guilty_a thereof_o who_o mouth_n he_o will_v stop_v by_o his_o equivocation_n etc._n

visible_a saint_n as_o aforesaid_a viz._n unbaptise_v because_o god_n have_v communion_n with_o they_o who_o example_n in_o the_o case_n we_o be_v straight_o command_v to_o follow_v receive_v you_o one_o another_o as_o christ_n jesus_n have_v receive_v you_o say_v paul_n rom._n 15.1_o 6._o to_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n yea_o though_o they_o be_v saint_n of_o opinion_n contrary_a to_o you_o though_o it_o go_v against_o the_o mind_n of_o they_o that_o be_v strong_a we_o that_o be_v strong_a aught_o to_o bear_v the_o infirmity_n of_o the_o weak_a what_o infirmity_n say_v john_n bunyan_n those_o that_o be_v natural_a be_v incident_a to_o all_o they_o be_v infirmity_n then_o that_o be_v sinful_a all_o such_o infirmity_n be_v lay_v upon_o christ_n pag._n 100_o wherefore_o vain_a man_n think_v not_o by_o the_o straightness_n of_o thy_o order_n in_o outward_a and_o bodily_a conformity_n to_o outward_a and_o shadowish_a circumstance_n that_o thy_o peace_n be_v maintain_v with_o god_n for_o peace_n with_o god_n be_v by_o faith_n in_o the_o blood_n of_o his_o cross_n who_o have_v bear_v the_o reproach_n and_o error_n of_o you_o both_o thou_o err_v in_o a_o substance_n he_o err_v in_o a_o circumstance_n upon_o who_o must_v these_o error_n fall_v pag._n 101._o must_v they_o for_o this_o be_v cast_v out_o of_o the_o church_n no_o these_o be_v all_o yea_o those_o reproach_n wherein_o the_o wisdom_n of_o heaven_n be_v reproach_v be_v fall_v upon_o christ_n pag._n 102._o wherefore_o god_n have_v receive_v he_o christ_n have_v receive_v he_o wherefore_o do_v you_o receive_v he_o there_o be_v more_o solidity_n in_o this_o argument_n than_o if_o all_o the_o church_n of_o god_n have_v receive_v he_o will_v any_o say_v we_o can_v believe_v that_o god_n have_v receive_v any_o but_o such_o as_o be_v baptize_v i_o will_v not_o suppose_v a_o brother_n so_o stupefy_v and_o therefore_o to_o that_o i_o will_v not_o answer_v answ_n in_o the_o answer_n to_o this_o long_a reason_n wherein_o john_n bunyan_n have_v run_v himself_o out_o of_o breath_n consider_v first_o that_o those_o scripture_n allege_v by_o john_n bunyan_n nothing_o concern_v the_o matter_n in_o hand_n for_o they_o be_v write_v to_o baptize_v person_n by_o his_o own_o confession_n pag._n 92._o as_o also_o appear_v by_o the_o apostle_n word_n rom._n 6.3_o 4._o second_o that_o receive_v there_o speak_v of_o do_v not_o intend_v the_o receive_n into_o fellowship_n for_o that_o be_v already_o do_v but_o a_o holy_a reception_n in_o the_o bowel_n of_o love_n and_o tender-heartedness_n that_o so_o with_o one_o mind_n and_o with_o one_o mouth_n thy_o might_n glorify_v god_n chap._n 15.6_o whereto_o they_o be_v persuade_v from_o the_o consideration_n of_o god_n bounty_n and_o the_o grace_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n extend_v to_o they_o wherefore_o concern_v unbaptise_v person_n as_o the_o apostle_n do_v not_o speak_v of_o they_o or_o intend_v they_o in_o reference_n to_o church-communion_n i_o may_v now_o pass_v they_o by_o as_o be_v nothing_o concern_v in_o those_o word_n of_o the_o apostle_n aforemention_v by_o john_n bunyan_n but_o since_o he_o so_o much_o boast_v of_o their_o communion_n with_o god_n i_o will_v answer_v in_o the_o apostle_n word_n 1_o cor._n 5.12_o what_o have_v i_o to_o do_v to_o judge_v they_o that_o be_v without_o i_o shall_v leave_v they_o to_o the_o

thence_o yea_o to_o account_v it_o a_o argument_n of_o so_o great_a solidity_n that_o the_o church_n ought_v therefore_o to_o have_v communion_n with_o they_o have_v not_o god_n communion_n wi●h_v
