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 representation_n of_o the_o substance_n the_o one_o more_o clear_a than_o the_o other_o the_o dark_a do_v away_o and_o the_o clear_a establish_v and_o this_o be_v one_o reason_n why_o christ_n institute_v this_o type_n or_o image_n at_o that_o time_n that_o after_o he_o be_v depart_v the_o son_n of_o man_n may_v have_v a_o more_o clear_a sight_n of_o he_o after_o his_o appear_v in_o the_o

representation_n as_o you_o may_v see_v heb._n 11.1_o likewise_o at_o the_o time_n of_o the_o institution_n of_o this_o passover_n god_n have_v a_o marvellous_a work_n to_o do_v viz._n to_o bring_v 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 wondrous_a work_n to_o do_v viz._n to_o bring_v the_o soul_n of_o believer_n out_o of_o the_o captivity_n of_o the_o devil_n sin_n death_n and_o hell_n for_o after_o the_o death_n of_o the_o paschal_n

devil_n viz._n sin_n be_v destroy_v and_o death_n and_o hell_n conquer_v and_o so_o a_o way_n be_v make_v for_o all_o soul_n to_o come_v out_o of_o their_o captivity_n for_o sin_n be_v the_o first-born_a child_n of_o the_o devil_n his_o belove_a and_o his_o power_n and_o strength_n for_o this_o be_v a_o truth_n in_o nature_n that_o the_o first-born_a be_v the_o strength_n and_o power_n 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 and_o strength_n and_o when_o this_o be_v slay_v then_o be_v he_o overcome_v and_o so_o death_n be_v the_o child_n of_o sin_n lose_v his_o power_n for_o as_o sin_n be_v the_o first-born_a of_o the_o 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 first-born_a of_o death_n and_o always_o follow_v its_o father_n revel_v so_o all_o these_o first-born_a be_v to_o be_v destroy_v by_o another_o first_o bear_v and_o that_o be_v jesus_n 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

little_a more_o the_o sprinkle_n of_o the_o two_o side_n post_n and_o the_o lintel_n in_o their_o threefold_a property_n i_o will_v show_v you_o how_o the_o scripture_n in_o other_o place_n point_v 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

the_o other_o post_n have_v other_o two_o hinge_n on_o which_o the_o other_o leaf_n hang_v and_o these_o two_o hinge_n be_v true_a wisdom_n and_o right_a knowledge_n upon_o which_o the_o other_o

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

and_o likewise_o the_o scribe_n and_o pharisee_n that_o put_v christ_n to_o death_n and_o though_o man_n have_v never_o so_o much_o zeal_n for_o god_n yet_o his_o conscience_n not_o strike_v or_o

work_n and_o this_o make_v the_o apostle_n paul_n write_v the_o same_o truth_n as_o in_o heb._n 9.14_o and_o while_o any_o man_n heart_n or_o will_n yield_v obedience_n to_o such_o a_o conscience_n

the_o conscience_n be_v sprinkle_v with_o the_o blood_n of_o jesus_n then_o do_v man_n true_o know_v himself_o to_o be_v a_o sinner_n and_o by_o that_o blood_n his_o peace_n and_o safety_n be_v to_o

you_o can_v close_v with_o christ_n in_o what_o he_o suffer_v himself_o and_o by_o a_o historical_a faith_n can_v believe_v that_o what_o he_o suffer_v be_v for_o you_o and_o by_o that_o false_a

by_o which_o he_o be_v to_o have_v the_o body_n of_o sin_n and_o selfnesse_n destroy_v that_o thereby_o he_o may_v live_v in_o the_o lovely_a fellowship_n of_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n and_o

3.18_o 19_o this_o be_v a_o old_a say_n little_o heed_v but_o mark_v it_o well_o for_o here_o i_o call_v it_o to_o a_o new_a remembrance_n i_o hope_v god_n be_v what_o he_o be_v then_o christ_n be_v

and_o it_o seem_v such_o a_o foolish_a thing_n to_o do_v so_o that_o few_o can_v conceive_v that_o they_o themselves_o do_v any_o such_o thing_n but_o in_o case_n there_o be_v any_o such_o who_o do_v
