A77739	A confutation of the Anabaptists, and all others who affect not civill government; proving the lawfullnesse of it: and a full answer to all their cavills, that are, or can be made against it. With a nut-cracker for an unnaturall nut, whose shell is as hard as the scales of Leviathan, and the kernell of his heart as hard as a piece of the nether mill-stone, Iob 41.15.24. yet the hammer of Gods word that breaketh in pieces the rocks, Ier. 23.29. will break this nut, that all may see the devillish kernell that is in it. Also arguments against the Anabaptists, proving that infants borne of Christian parents ought to be baptized: with a full answer to all their cavills that are (or can be) made against it.

this_o they_o plead_v that_o they_o be_v free_v by_o christ_n from_o all_o obedience_n to_o magistrate_n i_o answer_v the_o liberty_n which_o christ_n have_v procure_v we_o be_v liberty_n of_o

and_o another_o thing_n what_o we_o ought_v to_o do_v we_o ought_v indeed_o so_o to_o live_v as_o not_o to_o need_v any_o governor_n but_o we_o do_v not_o live_v so_o yea_o if_o believer_n can_v

of_o satan_n and_o wicked_a man_n stand_v ever_o in_o need_n of_o magistracy_n to_o protect_v it_o by_o force_n or_o war_n or_o otherwise_o eleven_o they_o object_n that_o all_o christian_n by_o the_o

by_o death_n and_o yet_o be_v free_a from_o spill_v blood_n or_o the_o breach_n of_o that_o commandment_n which_o say_v thou_o shall_v not_o kill_v nay_o it_o be_v their_o righteousness_n to_o cut_v

a_o live_a law_n now_o the_o jew_n have_v three_o sort_n of_o law_n the_o ceremonial_a which_o be_v to_o they_o a_o dark_a gospel_n show_v forth_o christ_n to_o they_o in_o dark_a type_n and_o
