A76101 The arrovv of the Almighty shot out of the creatures bowe, against the uncalled ministers in England. Or, A messages sent to them to forewarn them of their determined destruction, before it fall upon them. Likewise here is shewed, from whence they had their calling into the ministery; and how all people have been decieved by them. Here is also a glass wherein all formalists may see their own deformity, and so seek after that which is the substance, wherein all their deformity shall be done away. Likewise here is opened the mystery of the Lords Supper, and the mystery in Baptism; and how there is a threefold Baptism, having relation to the three fold name of Father, Son, and Holy Ghost; with other truths very needful to be known. All of them being laid down in as brief a manner as possiblemay be, for the use and instruction of the Presbyterians, Independants, and Anabaptists, so called; or for the good of all others who have a minde to seek God in a right way; and in the conclusion, a word to the free-gracians.

israel_n go_v and_o this_o passover_n be_v keep_v of_o the_o jew_n for_o a_o memorial_n of_o what_o be_v do_v and_o at_o the_o very_a time_n of_o the_o jew_n keep_v this_o passover_n it_o be_v that_o

of_o the_o jew_n passover_n be_v but_o as_o a_o shadow_n whereby_o to_o know_v the_o substance_n and_o a_o shadow_n be_v but_o a_o dark_a representation_n of_o a_o thing_n and_o so_o this_o dark_a shadow_n be_v to_o be_v do_v away_o that_o the_o image_n be_v a_o clear_a representation_n of_o the_o substance_n than_o the_o shadow_n and_o yet_o both_o the_o shadow_n and_o the_o image_n be_v but_o

the_o israelite_n out_o of_o egypt_n from_o under_o the_o bondage_n of_o pharaoh_n and_o the_o egyptian_n so_o at_o this_o very_a time_n of_o christ_n institute_v of_o this_o type_n god_n have_v a_o

and_o dignity_n of_o the_o parent_n as_o jacob_n say_v to_o reuben_n his_o first-born_a gen._n 49.3_o so_o sin_n be_v the_o first-born_a child_n of_o the_o devil_n therein_o consist_v his_o power_n

devil_n so_o death_n be_v the_o first-born_a of_o sin_n for_o death_n be_v bring_v out_o by_o sin_n jam._n 1.15_o and_o as_o death_n be_v the_o first_o bear_v of_o sin_n so_o hell_n be_v the_o

and_o as_o this_o first_o bear_v son_n or_o lamb_n of_o god_n overcome_v the_o devil_n sin_n death_n and_o hell_n by_o himself_o so_o that_o they_o have_v no_o power_n over_o he_o so_o by_o the_o

at_o they_o and_o first_o for_o the_o property_n of_o the_o one_o post_n and_o its_o sprinkle_n viz._n the_o conscience_n first_o for_o its_o property_n as_o the_o one_o post_n of_o the_o gate_n

to_o come_v to_o the_o sprinkle_n of_o the_o first_o side_n post_n viz._n the_o conscience_n as_o for_o conscience_n before_o it_o be_v sprinkle_v with_o the_o blood_n of_o the_o lamb_n it_o be_v

speak_v only_o of_o the_o time_n when_o christ_n institute_v this_o type_n so_o i_o will_v go_v on_o a_o little_a and_o speak_v a_o word_n of_o the_o matter_n in_o this_o type_n as_o for_o the_o
