yet_o do_v and_o on_o the_o contrary_n we_o have_v good_a ground_n to_o believe_v that_o the_o spiritual_a only_o be_v mean_v because_o it_o be_v the_o spiritual_a baptism_n only_o which_o be_v call_v the_o baptism_n of_o christ_n in_o scripture_n and_o be_v express_o distinguish_v from_o the_o baptism_n of_o john_n with_o water_n and_o certain_o the_o baptism_n which_o christ_n command_v be_v his_o own_o baptism_n whereof_o he_o give_v the_o apostle_n charge_v to_o administer_v it_o as_o servant_n and_o instrument_n under_o he_o who_o make_v they_o minister_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o

exclude_v and_o the_o apostle_n receive_v no_o authority_n to_o administer_v the_o baptism_n of_o the_o spirit_n but_o only_o of_o water_n and_o consequent_o they_o be_v no_o minister_n of_o the_o

paul_n a_o chief_a apostle_n but_o paul_n say_v christ_n send_v he_o not_o to_o baptise_v to_o wit_n with_o water_n but_o whereas_o i._o a._n do_v allege_v that_o paul_n mean_v that_o christ_n send_v he_o not_o principal_o to_o baptise_v i_o ask_v he_o why_o do_v he_o transgress_v his_o own_o rule_n to_o go_v from_o the_o proper_a to_o the_o improper_a and_o unusual_a signification_n of_o the_o word_n not_o which_o be_v absolute_o negative_a and_o not_o comparative_a and_o that_o without_o any_o urge●t_a necessity_n but_o that_o of_o his_o own_o mere_a devise_v and_o that_o he_o say_v doubtless_o the_o apostle_n do_v not_o baptise_v without_o a_o commission_n i_o answer_v this_o be_v bare_o assert_v without_o proof_n why_o may_v not_o paul_n and_o other_o baptise_v without_o a_o

thus_o answer_v i._n a._n his_o argument_n i_o shall_v not_o need_v to_o answer_v his_o objection_n or_o pretend_a refutation_n of_o our_o argument_n and_o that_o especial_o because_o some_o ●_o of_o they_o which_o he_o bring_v as_o our_o argument_n be_v not_o real_o we_o and_o none_o of_o they_o he_o bring_v do_v he_o fair_o propose_v and_o therefore_o i_o shall_v refer_v the_o reader_n to_o our_o other_o treatise_n wherein_o our_o argument_n be_v more_o due_o and_o fair_o propose_v without_o repeat_v they_o here_o because_o of_o brevity_n only_o whereas_o he_o allege_v we_o argue_v

intelligent_a and_o impartial_a reader_n may_v see_v that_o i._o a._n have_v not_o prove_v it_o to_o be_v so_o mean_v by_o all_o his_o endeavour_n and_o therefore_o not_o of_o his_o own_o mouth_n henceforth_o he_o be_v not_o to_o be_v believe_v as_o concern_v i._n a._n his_o four_o section_n which_o be_v altogether_o concern_v infant-baptism_n i_o may_v wave_v it_o because_o it_o proceed_v upon_o a_o bare_a supposition_n that_o be_v not_o prove_v viz._n that_o water-baptism_n be_v a_o gospel_n precept_n and_o see_v the_o controversy_n be_v most_o proper_a betwixt_o he_o and_o these_o call_v anabaptist_n wherein_o we_o be_v little_o concern_v i_o shall_v not_o insist_v to_o answer_v every_o thing_n only_o i_o can_v but_o take_v notice_n of_o some_o of_o his_o most_o gross_a and_o impertinent_a assertion_n and_o proof_n he_o allege_v baptism_n under_o the_o new_a testament_n be_v succeed_v in_o the_o room_n of_o circumcision_n to_o this_o i_o may_v reply_v in_o his_o own_o language_n elsewhere_o he_o put_v the_o plough_n ●before_n the_o ox_n because_o he_o suppose_v still_o a_o thing_n without_o proof_n that_o water-baptism_n be_v any_o new_a testament_n precept_n again_o he_o allege_v that_o boptism_n with_o water_n be_v come_v ●n_o the_o room_n of_o circumcision_n because_o paul_n say_v col._n 2._o 11_o 12._o our_o burial_n with_o christ_n in_o baptism_n be_v our_o circumcision_n but_o he_o have_v not_o prove_v that_o the_o baptism_n there_o mention_v be_v water-baptism_n where_o be_v his_o consequence_n for_o this_o and_o why_o do_v he_o expound_v the_o circumcision_n to_o be_v spiritual_a in_o that_o place_n and_o the_o baptism_n outward_a and_o visible_a be_v it_o not_o more_o proper_a to_o take_v they_o both_o spiritual_o and_o then_o his_o argument_n do_v whole_o vanish_v and_o i_o find_v ask_v he_o be_v all_o bury_v with_o christ_n who_o be_v baptise_v with_o water_n if_o he_o say_v not_o as_o he_o ought_v then_o sure_o the_o water-baptism_n be_v not_o the_o baptism_n there_o understand_v another_o argument_n of_o he_o be_v that_o because_o the_o infant_n of_o believer_n be_v probable_o partaker_n of_o regeneration_n which_o be_v the_o thing_n seal_v or_o signify_v that_o therefore_o they_o ought_v to_o be_v baptize_v with_o water_n but_o this_o argument_n prove_v as_o much_o that_o infant_n shall_v also_o have_v that_o call_v the_o supper_n because_o christ_n who_o be_v signify_v thereby_o do_v as_o probable_o belong_v to_o infant_n as_o regeneration_n see_v none_o can_v have_v regeneration_n without_o christ_n and_o i_o will_v know_v what_o i._n a._n do_v say_v to_o this_o or_o let_v he_o show_v a_o reason_n why_o his_o argument_n prove_v the_o one_o rather_o than_o the_o other_o and_o it_o seem_v that_o for_o that_o or_o the_o like_a reason_n augustine_n and_o other_o of_o those_o call_v the_o father_n be_v for_o give_v that_o call_v the_o supper_n to_o infant_n as_o well_o as_o water-baptism_n and_o in_o that_o respect_n be_v long_o ago_o real_o administer_v to_o they_o but_o see_v i._n a._n have_v spend_v so_o much_o paper_n on_o water-baptism_n why_o say_v he_o nothing_o to_o sprinkle_v of_o infant_n why_o do_v he_o not_o so_o much_o as_o attempt_v to_o prove_v that_o sprinkle_n with_o water_n be_v or_o ever_o be_v the_o true_a form_n of_o baptism_n with_o water_n although_o the_o question_n do_v express_o mention_v it_o thus_o we_o see_v how_o all_o along_o hitherto_o i._n a._n have_v leave_v the_o substance_n of_o the_o query_n unanswered_a chap._n ix_o before_o my_o answer_n to_o i._o a._n his_o pretend_a survey_n of_o the_o six_o query_n which_o be_v concern_v that_o call_v the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o supper_n i_o shall_v premise_v these_o few_o particular_n 1._o that_o we_o do_v not_o deny_v but_o own_o and_o believe_v that_o all_o true_a christian_n and_o believer_n do_v eat_v of_o christ_n body_n and_o drink_v of_o his_o blood_n and_o that_o beyond_o or_o what_o be_v more_o than_o a_o figure_n or_o figurative_a commemoration_n thereof_o to_o wit_n real_o and_o substantial_o yet_o so_o as_o spiritual_o and_o by_o faith_n and_o not_o outward_o and_o with_o the_o outward_a or_o bodily_a mouth_n 2._o nor_o do_v we_o deny_v but_o that_o in_o all_o our_o eating_n and_o drink_n we_o be_v to_o remember_v the_o lord_n death_n and_o so_o eat_v with_o holy_a fear_n and_o reverence_n and_o thankfulness_n 3._o and_o we_o deny_v not_o but_o that_o the_o night_n wherein_o he_o be_v betray_v he_o take_v bread_n and_o break_v it_o after_o supper_n and_o have_v give_v thanks_o he_o give_v it_o unto_o his_o apostle_n say_v take_v eat_v this_o be_v my_o body_n and_o likewise_o the_o cup_n say_v drink_v you_o all_o of_o it_o for_o as_o oft_o as_o you_o eat_v this_o bread_n and_o drink_v this_o cup_n you_o show_v forth_o the_o lord_n death_n until_o he_o come_v so_o we_o grant_v he_o give_v they_o a_o commandment_n to_o do_v the_o like_a for_o sometime_o to_o come_v but_o that_o which_o be_v query_v be_v this_o where_o be_v it_o call_v a_o gospel_n ordinance_n or_o stand_v command_n of_o christ_n unto_o the_o world_n end_n to_o eat_v bread_n and_o drink_v wine_n after_o supper_n in_o a_o peculiar_a and_o solemn_a way_n of_o commemoration_n over_o and_o beside_o that_o which_o may_n and_o aught_o to_o be_v do_v every_o day_n and_o whereas_o christ_n say_v do_v this_o in_o remembrance_n of_o his_o death_n till_o he_o come_v again_o it_o be_v query_v be_v this_o come_n to_o the_o end_n of_o
a_o inward_a immediate_a dictate_v but_o there_o be_v a_o divine_a law_n in_o all_o man_n and_o therefore_o etc._n etc._n and_o in_o this_o respect_n it_o be_v that_o the_o substance_n of_o the_o moral_a law_n be_v general_o acknowledge_v to_o be_v imprint_v in_o the_o heart_n of_o all_o man_n even_o those_o who_o want_v the_o scripture_n and_o i_o well_o remember_v that_o bishop_n sanderson_n say_v in_o one_o of_o his_o sermon_n that_o the_o say_a law_n in_o the_o heart_n of_o all_o man_n be_v as_o real_o the_o word_n of_o god_n as_o that_o print_a in_o our_o bibles_n and_o thus_o i_o hope_v i_o have_v sufficient_o evince_v that_o there_o be_v a_o dictate_v in_o all_o man_n that_o be_v a_o divine_a law_n and_o rule_n at_o least_o in_o many_o or_o most_o thing_n belong_v both_o to_o piety_n justice_n and_o sobriety_n although_o i_o do_v not_o plead_v that_o there_o be_v a_o law_n or_o rule_n in_o they_o who_o have_v not_o have_v the_o history_n of_o the_o gospel_n reveal_v unto_o they_o to_o believe_v the_o same_o nor_o do_v i_o say_v that_o the_o history_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v reveal_v to_o we_o immediate_o without_o the_o scripture_n but_o that_o have_v hear_v or_o read_v the_o say_a history_n and_o all_o other_o historical_a part_n of_o the_o scripture_n the_o spirit_n of_o god_n by_o some_o inward_a dictate_v formal_a or_o virtual_a or_o that_o which_o be_v

as_o to_o possess_v and_o enjoy_v the_o indwel_n of_o it_o and_o union_n with_o it_o but_o that_o unbeliever_n have_v it_o so_o far_o at_o least_o as_o to_o reprove_v they_o and_o call_v they_o to_o

premise_n in_o apply_v the_o scripture_n mark_n but_o to_o this_o i_o answer_v that_o the_o scripture_n only_o tell_v he_o one_o of_o the_o premise_n of_o that_o they_o call_v the_o practical_a syllogism_n but_o no_o scripture_n in_o all_o the_o bible_n tell_v i._n a._n or_o i_o that_o he_o or_o i_o have_v these_o mark_n and_o see_v a_o true_a believer_n may_v attain_v to_o a_o faith_n of_o assurance_n as_o i._o a._n do_v not_o deny_v and_o faith_n must_v have_v the_o word_n of_o god_n for_o its_o object_n see_v there_o be_v not_o a_o word_n in_o all_o the_o scripture_n that_o say_v he_o or_o i_o have_v those_o mark_n we_o must_v seek_v that_o word_n somewhere_o else_o then_o in_o the_o scripture_n and_o where_o shall_v we_o seek_v it_o else_o but_o in_o our_o heart_n where_o the_o spirit_n himself_o witness_v with_o our_o spirit_n that_o we_o be_v the_o child_n of_o god_n if_o so_o be_v that_o we_o have_v that_o witness_n even_o as_o it_o do_v witness_v in_o paul_n and_o if_o the_o illumination_n of_o the_o spirit_n discover_v the_o grace_n of_o god_n in_o our_o soul_n certain_o that_o be_v a_o immediate_a revelation_n for_o scripture_n do_v not_o discover_v in_o we_o those_o grace_n but_o the_o spirit_n and_o he_o that_o discover_v the_o grace_n discover_v also_o himself_o to_o be_v the_o true_a spirit_n of_o god_n and_o do_v not_o hide_v himself_o from_o we_o or_o else_o we_o may_v doubt_v whether_o the_o discovery_n be_v true_a or_o not_o not_o know_v infallible_o the_o author_n thereof_o last_o that_o he_o say_v i_o spurn_v at_o the_o distinction_n of_o objective_n and_o subjective_a illumination_n as_o anti-christian_n and_o deceitful_a i_o answer_v i_o do_v not_o blame_v the_o distinction_n simple_o as_o in_o itself_o but_o as_o it_o be_v illuse_v and_o apply_v whereas_o they_o say_v the_o influence_n and_o illumination_n of_o the_o spirit_n in_o believer_n be_v mere_o effective_a or_o subjective_a and_o not_o at_o all_o objective_n but_o i_o say_v it_o be_v both_o effective_a and_o objective_a effective_a to_o help_v we_o to_o see_v or_o hear_v and_o objective_n or_o by_o way_n of_o ●bject_n for_o the_o sight_n and_o hear_v or_o any_o other_o perception_n of_o our_o soul_n to_o stay_v and_o rest_n upon_o but_o this_o object_n can_v no_o more_o be_v the_o letter_n of_o scripture_n alone_o than_o a_o report_n of_o meat_n and_o drink_n can_v be_v the_o object_n to_o satisfy_v a_o man_n taste_n or_o appetite_n when_o he_o be_v hungry_a or_o thirsty_a and_o thus_o i_o do_v not_o confound_v the_o distinct_a consideration_n of_o objective_n and_o effective_a only_o i_o affirm_v that_o the_o same_o thing_n may_v be_v both_o and_o so_o indeed_o be_v as_o when_o the_o sun_n enlighten_v we_o its_o ray_n or_o beam_n help_v we_o to_o see_v and_o also_o it_o be_v the_o object_n of_o our_o sight_n and_o the_o heat_n of_o the_o fire_n be_v both_o the_o object_n of_o our_o feel_n and_o also_o when_o it_o be_v moderate_a help_v we_o to_o feel_v and_o effective_o do_v strengthen_v our_o feel_n but_o when_o the_o fire_n heat_v a_o stone_n it_o work_v in_o it_o only_o effective_o and_o not_o objective_o or_o as_o a_o object_n but_o believer_n receive_v not_o the_o heavenly_a light_n and_o warmth_n of_o the_o spirit_n as_o dead_a and_o insensible_a stone_n but_o as_o live_a soul_n that_o have_v a_o real_a sense_n and_o perception_n of_o that_o which_o do_v influence_n they_o and_o therefore_o that_o influence_n be_v the_o proper_a immediate_a object_n of_o their_o perception_n and_o if_o there_o be_v no_o inward_a spiritual_a object_n that_o the_o spirit_n present_v to_o god_n child_n than_o there_o be_v no_o inward_a spiritual_a eye_n nor_o ear_n nor_o inward_a spiritual_a taste_n or_o savour_n nor_o inward_a spiritual_a feel_v all_o which_o be_v most_o contrary_a both_o to_o scripture_n which_o mention_n all_o these_o spiritual_a sense_n as_o i_o have_v prove_v at_o large_a in_o my_o book_n of_o immediate_a revelation_n and_o also_o to_o the_o saint_n experience_n and_o do_v not_o god_n promise_v that_o his_o child_n shall_v see_v he_o under_o the_o new_a covenant_n and_o certain_o all_o sight_n that_o be_v proper_a be_v immediate_a and_o to_o say_v that_o the_o saint_n only_o see_v god_n by_o the_o scripture_n be_v but_o as_o much_o as_o to_o say_v that_o we_o only_o see_v our_o

native_a country_n in_o which_o we_o live_v and_o dwell_v by_o look_v at_o the_o map_n of_o it_o but_o certain_o such_o a_o remote_a and_o improper_a see_v do●s_v no_o wise_a answer_n to_o the_o glory_n of_o the_o new_a covenant_n but_o rather_o fall_v short_a of_o the_o old_a and_o if_o that_o be_v all_o to_o see_v god_n in_o the_o scripture_n than_o all_o those_o that_o live_v under_o the_o
