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.

i_o as_o first_o that_o the_o outward_a form_n and_o inward_a power_n of_o godliness_n may_v not_o be_v separate_v this_o we_o affirm_v as_o well_o as_o thou_o and_o much_o better_a than_o thou_o for_o see_v thou_o deny_v christ_n within_o the_o heart_n to_o be_v the_o true_a christ_n how_o can_v thou_o real_o own_o the_o inward_a power_n of_o godliness_n can_v there_o be_v any_o inward_a power_n of_o godliness_n without_o christ_n live_v dwell_v and_o rule_v in_o the_o heart_n again_o many_o of_o you_o baptist_n affirm_v that_o man_n may_v be_v call_v of_o god_n both_o to_o preach_v and_o baptize_v and_o yet_o have_v no_o true_a piety_n or_o holiness_n which_o a_o baptist_n teacher_n affirm_v to_o i_o in_o the_o hear_n of_o divers_a witness_n last_o summer_n in_o the_o shop_n of_o one_o of_o our_o friend_n at_o newport_n in_o rhode-island_n and_o whether_o this_o be_v not_o thy_o own_o persuasion_n thou_o be_v concern_v to_o clear_v thyself_o but_o further_a how_o many_o hypocrite_n and_o vain_a person_n do_v you_o baptize_v with_o water_n that_o no_o real_a sign_n do_v in_o the_o least_o appear_v in_o they_o that_o the_o inward_a power_n of_o godliness_n be_v join_v with_o their_o be_v baptize_v with_o water_n now_o the_o thing_n that_o thou_o shall_v have_v prove_v be_v that_o your_o water_n baptism_n take_v up_o by_o you_o without_o any_o true_a command_n or_o so_o much_o as_o a_o true_a inward_a liberty_n by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n in_o your_o heart_n be_v a_o gospel-precept_n but_o this_o the_o apostle_n witness_v when_o peter_n baptize_v or_o cause_v to_o be_v baptize_v cornelius_n and_o other_o with_o he_o no_o doubt_n he_o both_o see_v and_o feel_v his_o liberty_n and_o good_a allowance_n by_o the_o revelation_n of_o god_n holy_a spirit_n in_o his_o heart_n so_o to_o do_v and_o therefore_o he_o may_v well_o command_v it_o at_o that_o time_n to_o be_v do_v &_o yet_o it_o do_v not_o follow_v that_o it_o be_v a_o gospel-precept_n i_o say_v further_o the_o outward_a form_n of_o godliness_n be_v entire_a without_o water_n baptism_n as_o at_o this_o day_n administer_v though_o when_o it_o be_v practise_v by_o the_o command_n of_o god_n it_o be_v a_o part_n of_o the_o outward_a form_n and_o whereas_o thou_o say_v johns_n preach_v and_o baptise_v relate_v to_o christ_n gospel_n disenspation_n cite_v for_o this_o mark_v 1._o cap._n 1_o 2_o 3._o v_o ●_o answer_v all_o this_o may_v be_v grant_v in_o a_o true_a sense_n yea_o i_o do_v ready_o grant_v it_o in_o the_o true_a sense_n &_o so_o do_v all_o the_o figure_n &_o type_n of_o moses_n law_n all_o which_o obscure_o and_o dark_o point_v at_o christ_n &_o the_o pure_a gospel_n dispensation_n &_o be_v as_o it_o be_v a_o symbolical_a way_n of_o preach_v christ_n &_o his_o gospel_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v a_o good_a and_o worthy_a observation_n that_o many_o ancient_a christian_n have_v make_v that_o the_o gospel_n and_o new_a testament_n lie_v hide_v within_o the_o vail_n of_o the_o law_n and_o old_a testament_n all_o these_o figure_n and_o shadow_n of_o the_o law_n shadow_v and_o figure_v gospel_n mystery_n unto_o those_o who_o eye_n be_v spiritual_o enlighten_v to_o see_v and_o understand_v they_o and_o whereas_o thou_o cite_v mark_n be_v word_n in_o the_o begin_n of_o his_o book_n say_v the_o beginning_n of_o the_o gospel_n of_o jesus_n christ_n the_o son_n of_o god_n if_o i_o grant_v thou_o that_o both_o john_n preach_v and_o baptism_n in_o a_o true_a sense_n be_v a_o beginning_n of_o the_o gospel_n what_o gain_v thou_o by_o it_o do_v it_o therefore_o follow_v that_o water-baptism_n be_v a_o pure_a gospel_n precept_n and_o to_o be_v observe_v to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n i_o deny_v the_o consequence_n and_o the_o vanity_n and_o falsehood_n of_o it_o i_o shall_v by_o god_n assistance_n plain_o demonstrate_v but_o first_o i_o shall_v lay_v down_o a_o few_o plain_a position_n which_o i_o hope_v scarce_o any_o profess_v themselves_o christian_n that_o be_v in_o any_o degree_n intelligent_a can_v deny_v 1_o sy_n the_o gospel_n do_v begin_v to_o be_v preach_v by_o the_o lord_n to_o our_o first_o parent_n immediate_o after_o the_o fall_n when_o he_o give_v the_o promise_n that_o the_o seed_n of_o the_o woman_n shall_v bruise_v the_o head_n of_o the_o serpent_n and_o this_o be_v before_o any_o law_n of_o type_n of_o figure_n be_v give_v and_o before_o water_n baptism_n 2_o dly_z this_o gospel_n promise_n be_v in_o a_o solmn_a way_n renew_v by_o the_o lord_n to_o abraham_n that_o in_o his_o seed_n all_o nation_n of_o the_o earth_n shall_v be_v bless_v and_o this_o be_v 430_o year_n as_o paul_n notice_v before_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n and_o the_o same_o paul_n saint_n that_o the_o gospel_n be_v preach_v to_o abraham_n which_o be_v the_o everlasting_a gospel_n &_o be_v one_o &_o the_o same_o in_o all_o age_n of_o the_o world_n &_o therefore_o to_o speak_v strict_o do_v not_o take_v its_o beginning_n neither_o at_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o book_n of_o mark_n that_o begin_v with_o a_o voice_n cry_v in_o the_o wilderness_n prepare_v the_o way_n of_o the_o lord_n that_o as_o it_o relate_v to_o john_n ministration_n in_o part_n so_o it_o have_v a_o further_a reach_n as_o point_v to_o a_o inward_a ministration_n nor_o yet_o of_o luke_n who_o go_v further_a backward_o to_o wit_n to_o

in_o the_o beginning_n which_o word_n be_v christ_n by_o who_o all_o thing_n be_v make_v and_o be_v uphold_v 3_o dly_z this_o one_o everlasting_a gospel_n have_v have_v it_o various_a and_o divers_a break_n forth_o and_o administration_n in_o clear_a discovery_n and_o dispensation_n from_o age_n to_o age_n until_o the_o fullness_n of_o time_n &_o before_o that_o fullness_n of_o time_n until_o christ_n have_v suffer_v for_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o world_n rise_v again_o ascend_v and_o give_v the_o holy_a ghost_n to_o all_o true_a believer_n the_o gospel_n dispensation_n remain_v among_o all_o the_o faithful_a in_o all_o age_n but_o as_o vai●ed_v or_o as_o the_o kernel_n within_o the_o shell_n of_o the_o figure_n and_o type_n of_o the_o law_n 4_o thly_a the_o law_n be_v never_o give_v

by_o faith_n in_o christ_n and_o true_a gospel_n obedience_n to_o he_o but_o it_o be_v as_o a_o schoolmaster_n to_o lead_v unto_o christ_n as_o paul_n have_v declare_v 5_o t_o these_o several_a more_o clear_a discovery_n and_o dispensation_n of_o the_o gospel_n may_v be_v branch_v forth_o or_o distinguish_v into_o several_a degree_n and_o these_o several_a degree_n may_v be_v reduce_v into_o three_o each_o of_o which_o dispensation_n have_v their_o peculiar_a and_o proper_a divine_a inward_a illumination_n and_o influence_n of_o grace_n and_o truth_n to_o wit_n first_o that_o discovery_n that_o god_n give_v to_o man_n by_o moses_n and_o the_o write_a law_n and_o the_o prophet_n until_o john_n second_o from_o john_n until_o christ_n die_v and_o rise_v again_o &_o give_v the_o holy_a ghost_n three_o that_o last_o and_o most_o glorious_a discovery_n and_o revelation_n by_o the_o give_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n general_o to_o all_o true_a believer_n in_o a_o peculiar_a influence_n and_o operation_n beyond_o what_o ever_o former_o be_v give_v in_o a_o general_a way_n to_o believer_n again_o these_o three_o may_v be_v reduce_v into_o two_o viz._n law_n and_o gospel_n call_v by_o paul_n the_o two_o covenant_n which_o until_o the_o last_o great_a and_o most_o excellent_a discovery_n of_o the_o gospel_n have_v be_v administer_v as_o with_o a_o excellent_a mixture_n as_o when_o water_n and_o wine_n be_v mix_v together_o though_o the_o liquor_n be_v only_o two_o in_o kind_n yet_o they_o admit_v of_o many_o various_a mixture_n all_o which_o be_v serviceable_a according_a to_o the_o desire_n and_o ability_n of_o the_o drinker_n and_o therefore_o whereas_o thou_o say_v nor_o be_v there_o any_o three_o dispensation_n that_o be_v neither_o law_n nor_o gospel_n of_o john_n as_o be_v imagine_v in_o this_o as_o in_o many_o other_o thing_n thou_o fight_v against_o thy_o own_o shadow_n for_o though_o in_o my_o late_a book_n i_o write_v of_o three_o dispensation_n and_o prove_v they_o sufficient_o out_o of_o the_o scripture_n yet_o i_o never_o imagine_v that_o there_o be_v any_o one_o of_o these_o three_o dispensation_n that_o be_v neither_o law_n nor_o gospel_n but_o i_o
