A47167	A refutation of three opposers of truth by plain evidence of the holy Scripture, viz. I. Of Pardon Tillinghast, who pleadeth for water-baptism, its being a Gospel-precept, and opposeth Christ within, as a false Christ. To which is added, something concerning the Supper, &c. II. Of B. Keech, in his book called, A tutor for children, where he disputeth against the sufficiency of the light within, in order of salvation; and calleth Christ in the heart, a false Christ in the secret chamber. II. Of Cotton Mather, who in his appendix to his book, called, Memorable providences, relating to witchcrafts, &c. doth so weakly defend his father Increase Mather from being justly chargeable with abusing the honest people called Quakers, that he doth the more lay open his fathers nakedness; and beside the abuses and injuries that his father had cast upon that people, C. Mather, the son, addeth new abuses of his own. And a few words of a letter to John Cotton, called a minister, at Plymouth in New England. By George Keith.

but_o for_o the_o better_a understanding_n of_o the_o whole_a matter_n let_v it_o be_v consider_v that_o the_o light_n in_o man_n have_v a_o two_o fold_v sense_n and_o signification_n 1_o sy_n it_o may_v and_o do_v signify_v god_n who_o be_v light_n and_o christ_n who_o also_o be_v light_n as_o the_o holy_a scripture_n declare_v 2_o dly_a it_o may_v and_o do_v signify_v some_o divine_a inward_a

and_o revelation_n of_o god_n and_o christ_n do_v not_o at_o first_o reveal_v or_o discover_v these_o peculiar_a mystery_n of_o the_o pure_a gospel_n dispensation_n as_o christ_n crucify_v and_o faith_n in_o he_o yet_o it_o do_v suffice_v that_o i_o have_v prove_v that_o it_o can_v begin_v and_o do_v real_o begin_v a_o good_a work_n of_o god_n in_o they_o that_o be_v diligent_a to_o obey_v it_o and_o where_o this_o good_a work_n of_o god_n be_v begin_v in_o any_o they_o can_v perish_v although_o they_o die_v in_o that_o state_n for_o as_o no_o unrighteous_a soul_n can_v while_o such_o

but_o to_o determine_v at_o what_o precise_a time_n and_o how_o this_o work_n of_o god_n begin_v in_o honest_a gentile_n be_v perfect_v in_o they_o and_o at_o what_o precise_a time_n the_o knowledge_n

our_o adversary_n yea_o i_o suppose_v general_o the_o baptist_n themselves_o for_o first_o they_o acknowledge_v that_o many_o infant_n die_v in_o infancy_n belong_v to_o god_n election_n and_o be_v

a_o great_a secret_a know_v perhaps_o to_o few_o of_o the_o son_n of_o man_n the_o precise_a time_n way_n manner_n and_o mean_n of_o god_n save_v they_o with_o eternal_a salvation_n who_o have_v not_o have_v christ_n outward_o preach_v unto_o they_o neither_o by_o man_n nor_o scripture_n and_o let_v it_o suffice_v to_o clear_v we_o that_o we_o say_v the_o knowledge_n and_o faith_n of_o christ_n
