the Law but the Scripture hath concluded all under sin that the promise by the faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that beleeve but before faith came that is before Christ came we were kept under the Law shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed which faith was revealed by Christ and the twelve Apostles For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus for as many of you as have beene baptized into Christ have put on Christ and then after this Scripture is read I think it fit for the Minister to reade the Lords Prayer and then the Minister shall baptise the child naming it by the name as the Father of the child or some other in his stead shall give it and shal sprinckle water on the face of the child saying I baptise thee in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the holy Ghost for a seale and pledge that for ever hereafter thou shalt not be ashamed to fight under the banner of the suffering of the Crosse of our Lord Jesus Christ but to continue his faithfull souldier even to thy lives end So when the child is baptised with water I think it fit for the Minister to declare these words saying Christ so loved his Church and gave himselfe for it that he might present it to himselfe a glorious Church not having spot or wrinckle or any such thing but that it should be holy and without blemish Ephes 5. that is Christ wil have his Church which are baptized to his glorious body to bee so chast unto himselfe and to his glorious Gospel that it should be free from false doctrines and false worship which proceedeth from the devil I doe not say that we shal be free from failings and infirmities here in this world for a child as soone as it is baptised it is joyned to the gloious body of Christ but then God wil have them as they grow in ripenesse of yeares that they should be fed with the sincere milke of the word in the doctrine of the New Testament that they may grow thereby in heavenly wisdome from grace to grace and strength to strength until wee all come into the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God unto a perfect man to the measure of the stature of the fulnesse of Christ Ephes 4. that ye be no more children in understanding tossed too and fro and carried about with every winde of doctrine and slight of men and cunning craftinesse whereby they lye in waite to deceive but speaking the truth in love may grow up into him in all things which is the head even Christ for God our glorious Father gave us his Son Christ to be head over all things to the Church which is his body the fulnesse of him that filleth all in all unto whom be all praise honour power and glory both now and evermore world without end Amen Thus I praise God I have shewed you in briefe a true forme for the baptizing of children which will be to the praise and glory of god and to the edifying of the hearers but for God-fathers and God-mothers and the Crosse on the forehead be laid aside Now by the help of God I will shew you concerning the Sacrament of bread and wine it is written 1 Cor. 11.28 But let a man examine himselfe and so let him eate of that bread and drink of that cup for he that eateth and drinketh unworthily eateth and drinketh damnation to himselfe And why doth he so the answer is because he doth not discerne the Lords body Now I understand as Circumcision and those Ordinances that are written Heb. 9. did belong to the Old Law and Testament which Christ hath abolished by his suffering now on the other side baptisme and the bread and wine they are the holy Ordinances which doth belong to the mysticall body of Christ and to the second covenant of grace for Christ saith plainly Luke 22.20 This Cup is my blood in the New Testament which is shed for you therefore I say againe the Sacrament of bread and wine doth belong to the body of Christ and to the New Testament the Apostle saith He that eateth and drinketh unworthily eateth and drinketh damnation to himselfe because he doth not discerne the Lords body Wherefore I pray God give the Bishops and the Clergy all grace for to forsake the old Law and Testament which Christ hath redeemed us from and that they may be reconciled to Christ and to the second Covenant which if they shall wifully refuse to doe they will be sure to eate and drinke their owne damnation Againe if any man or woman have committed the sin of theft or adultery or any other hainous sin I pray God give all such grace to forsake it by turning to Christ by true repentance and then let them eat of that bread and drink of that cup to their everlasting joy and comfort for Christ is the fountain of mercy and love which doth not desire that any should perish but rather that all should come to the knowledge of the truth and be saved for the office of a Preacher is this First he must shew the people how they must be ingrafted into the true vine Christ by the divine power of his Word and then the people may grow in grace after they be ingrafted into the true vine for as grace and vertue doe grow by degrees by the divine power of the Word of Christ that will be a means to cause sin and wickednesse to die and vanish out of the people Again I think it fit that the Minister read the first chapter to the Ephesians and the Lords Prayer before he deliver the bread and Wine and then the Minister shal deliver the bread the people receiving it upon their knees saying take and eat this in remembrance that Christs body was crucified on the crosse for to redeem your soul from the bondage of hel and death and honour and glorifie his blessed name for ever and then the wine saying take and drink this in remembrance that Christs bloud was shed on the crosse to redeem your soul from the bondage of death and hell and honour and glorifie his blessed name for ever and when the people have received the bread and wine I think it fit for the people to sing a Psalme to the glory of God and after that these words The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ the love of God the Father and the most sweet and comfortable fellowship of God the Holy Ghost blesse keep and defend you from this time forth and evermore Amen Thus I praise God I have proved that no people have any due or right to the holy Sacrament of bread and wine but such as wil be reconciled to Christ and to the second covenant of grace Now I wil shew you in briefe for the marriage for I think it fit that the man and woman take one another
A plaine and briefe discovery of those two beasts that are written Revel 13. AND To show what dishonour and disgrace the Clergie bring against Christ and his glorious Church in reading some part of the Service-Book Againe I praise God I have shewed in briefe the true signification of Christ and his glorious Church with those holy Ordinances that doe belong unto it Gathered and directed by that grace God hath give to me James Hunt All glory be to God on high Printed for J.H. 1643. IT is written Eph. 5.13 All things that are reproved ●e ●●a●●●nifest by the light Now by that glorious light God hath given to me I will show you the signification of those two beasts that are written Rev. 13. The first beast riseth out of the sea which signifieth the Pope and all his Clergy which have gathered to themselves so many false doctrines that the Spirit of God compares it unto the deep and broad sea But the second beast he cometh up out of the earth which signifieth the Bishops here in England and all their Clergy which have gathered to themselves so many false written books that for their number they may be compared unto the starres in the firmament which false written books do arise and proceed from the devill who is called the god of the earth and by those false written books the Bishops and their Clergy have deceived all those people that are as yet held under their power but the people whom the Clergy have blinded they cry out against me saying who hath made thee a Judge or a Preacher My answer is God my glorious Father and Christ Jesus my redeemer they have raised me up by the vertue and divine power of their Word for to be a Judge and a Preacher for to judge and divide betwixt truth and errour light and darknesse for I hope all that shall read this book they may understand from whence my judgment doth arise and proceed Again it is said the second beast he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him Now I will prove that the Pope and his Clergy and the Bishops and their Clergy their power not long ago was both as one First for the Pope he hath made the people believe that no man can be a true and sound Preacher but he must be brought up in the Universities and so say the Bishops and their Clergy but alas they are deceived upon both sides for God hath laid the Gospell in such a complete way that if there be a mystery or parable that speaketh somthing dark in one place a man may find two or three places for to prove and justifie what that dark mystery signifieth and that is the true and perfect way to open and unfold the mysteries of God to the true meaning and signification and I praise God I can prove these things may be done without the help of the Latin or Greek tongue for I can prove it by plain truth of Scripture Againe for the Pope he will not allow that any man shall be a Preacher for to declare his mind to the people but first he must be sworne for to observe those Canons and articles that the Pope or some of his Assignes shall set forth The very same power did belong to the Bishops here in England Againe for the Pope all Magistrates and Church-Wardens are sworne for to uphold the Pope and his Clergy in their way that if any man reprove them for to say their power or their doctrine is false then the Magistrates cast him into prison or els the Church-Wardens will complaine of him in the Spirituall Court and when he comes there if he do not play the hypocrite and say he is sorry for that he said and fee the Officers with money he shall be cast into prison if not put to death The very same power not long agoe did belong to the Bishops and their Clergy here in England Againe for the Pope he and all his Clergy have deceived the people in making the people believe that the old law is a rule of obedience for the people to be led and guided by and so say the Bishops and all their Clergy But they are deceived on both sides in their judgment for I can prove the more they bring the people under the obedience of the old Law the more they bring them under the bondage of the devill My first proofe is Heb. 2.14 Forasmuch then as the children were made partakers of flesh and bloud Christ likewise tooke part of the same that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death that is the devill and so to deliver all those who through feare of death were all their life time subject to bondage This place of Scripture doth plainly signifie that all those people that were under the old Law they were under a yoke of bondage untill Christ freed them by his suffering on the crosse Again Rom. 7.6 the Apostle saith plainly and so say I Now we are delivered from the Law that being dead wherein we were held as under the chaines and bondage of Satan that we should serve in newnesse of spirit and not in the oldnesse of the letter that is in newnesse of the Gospell and not in the oldnesse of the law Thus I have proved in briefe that the old Law is the spirit of bondage and so is the devill And hereby I have overthrown the Pope and his Clergy and the Bishops their Clergy in their judgment because they say the old law is a rule of obedience Againe I will shew you in briefe that S. Pauls false zeale was to the old Law when he was a persecuter of Christ for he saith plainly conserning his zeal persecuting the Church Touching the righteousnesse that is in the Law blamelesse Phil. 3. Thus I have proved in briefe that S. Pauls false zeale was to the old Law when he was a persecutor of the Church of Christ and in so doing let any man judge if he were not an enemy to God and a friend unto the Devill and so will all those Divines be found and proved so to be that keep the people under the obedience of the old Law Againe I say all those Magistrates and Church-wardens will be found to be Gods great enemies that shall strive to uphold the Clergy in their wickednesse and thus I have proved in briefe and shall prove againe at large that those two beasts signifie the Pope and his Clergy and the Bishops here in England and their Clergy which by their false power as conserning Church government and false doctrine they keepe the people under the bondage and captivity of the devill and the plaine truth is many of the Magistrates and Church-wardens doe yet uphold them in their abominable wickednesse for they will not suffer the Prophets of God to reprove them for their false power and their false doctrines which is abominable in the sight of our glorious God My text saith All
