FARNWORTH For Christ sent me not to Baptize but to preach the Gospel not with the enticing words of mans wisdome neither lest the Crosse of Christ should be of none effect 1 Cor. 1.17 and 18. LONDON Printed Anno Dom. 1654. To the READER READER IN the Reading of this ensuing Treatise as thy understanding is kept open thou may see the difference betwixt Truth and errour that thereby thou mayest chuse the good and refuse the evill try all things and hold fast that which is good and take heed of censuring or judging the truth with evill thoughts and out of an evill heart lest judgement return upon thee again but judge Righteous judgement so shalt thou be preserved in Peace in thy Conscience The cause of my writing of this little Treatise was occasioned upon a Meeting at Harliston in Stafforth Shire upon the 27. day of the 7. month between the baptized people and those whom the world scornfully calleth Quakers to clear the Truth of many aspersions and false accusations as in the Reading thou wilt clearly see the differences betwixt Truth and errour as thou Readest with an understanding And whereas we are accused for denying the Scriptures and the Ordinances of Christ in short thou mayest see what we own according to Scripture and what we do deny that is contrary to Scripture also the tryall of the Spirits and the Doctrine of Baptismes and the laying on of hands and the Resurrection and eternall Judgement true Faith the Church of the first-born written in heaven Something of them spoken of in this Treatise which may be for the bringing down of the kingdome of Antichrist and the setting up of the Kingdome of Jesus Christ that Truth may be cleared of Scandals But I am not sent to Baptize but to Preach the Gospel as in thy Reading thou wilt more plainly see RICH. FARNWORTH THE ORDINANCES AND VVORSHIP Of GOD in the Spirit GOD is a Spirit and all his Ordinances are Spirituall now in the Gospel-Ministration and his Worship is in the Spirit as it is written John 4.23 24.

Now the Lord is that Spirit which we all beholding with open face as in a Glasse are changed from glory to glory into the same image and glory as by the Spirit of the Lord as it is written 2 Cor. 3.17 18. And secondly the Church of God and of Christ we own who are the houshold of Faith made all of living stones elect and precious a Spirituall house for God to dwell in whose house are we who are builded upon the Foundation of the Prophets and Apostles Christ Jesus being the Chief Corner Stone in whom all the building groweth into an holy Temple in the Lord the Church of the first-born written in heaven of which Christ Jesus is head and we are compleat in him who is the fulnesse and filleth all in all as it is written and witnessed 1 Thess 1.1 1 Pet 2.5 6 c.

Col. 2.9 And thirdly the Ministery of Christ in the Spirit we own and the new Covenant and the Law of God written in the heart and we witnesse the teachings of the Lord as he hath promised and said which promises of the Father we witnesse fulfilling and fulfilled and we witnesse Christ Jesus who is the Saints high Priest and the everlasting Sacrifice we witnesse and own the Fathers teachings according to his Promise and we witness Christ Jesus to be our Passover and that he is able to save to the utermost all those that come unto God by him Heb. 8.10 11. Jer. 31.31 to the 35. Isa 54.13 14. John 6.45 John 14.15 16 17. and 26. Heb. 7.25 Fourthly The Baptism of Christ which is in the Spirit we own and all who are Baptized into the Name of the Father Son and holy Ghost and are made partakers of the Name nature and properties of God for he that hath the Son hath life and he that hath the Son hath the Father also as Christ hath said All mine are thine and thine are mine and I am glorified in them and by one Spirit are we baptized into one body and made to drink in one Spirit where there is one Faith one Lord one Baptisme one God and Father of us all who are of the righteous seed who are Baptized into Christ and have put on Christ as it is written and witnessed 2 Pet. 1.3 4 5 6 7 8. 1 Pet. 3.18 19 20 21. 1 John 5.10 11 12 13.

Fifthly Prayer we own Praying by the Spirit of Christ and if any man be in Christ Jesus he is a new creature 2 Cor. 5.16 17. and walks not after the flesh but after the Spirit and the same Spirit which raised up Jesus Christ from the dead we witnesse dwelling in us by which Spirit we are quickened even by the Spirit of Christ that dwelleth in us Rom. 8.10 11.
