A91351	A cryer in the vvildernesse of England, declaring the baptisme of the eternall spirit, to be the onely baptisme in Christs kingdome published in Gospel-light, according to the word written in the Scriptures, and the eternall word written in the hidden man of the heart, for satisfaction of those, who are satisfied with truth alone. By Edward Punch of Carisbrook in the Isle of Wight, who is not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ, because it is the power of God to salvation.

darkness_n of_o this_o unreasonable_a interpretation_n of_o the_o word_n write_v i_o believe_v none_o that_o own_v the_o truth_n can_v own_v this_o blind_a exposition_n except_o it_o be_v thus_o to_o

to_o the_o lord_n be_v one_o spirit_n in_o the_o lord_n and_o this_o be_v the_o true_a sort_n of_o unity_n of_o spirit_n or_o in_o the_o spirit_n again_o there_o be_v many_o spirit_n of_o antichrist_n and_o all_o that_o be_v lead_v by_o they_o be_v spirit_n of_o another_o sort_n there_o be_v also_o one_o hope_n whereunto_o believer_n be_v call_v and_o this_o be_v hope_n of_o the_o glory_n of_o

also_o one_o lord_n unto_o the_o true_a church_n of_o christ_n unto_o who_o they_o desire_v whole_o to_o give_v up_o themselves_o to_o be_v rule_v and_o lead_v by_o though_o other_o lord_n have_v have_v dominion_n over_o they_o before_o there_o be_v also_o lord_n many_o and_o these_o be_v of_o another_o sort_n and_o they_o rule_v over_o the_o world_n and_o carnal_a church_n that_o be_v make_v up_o of_o form_n and_o show_v of_o godliness_n in_o will-worship_n in_o form_n of_o godliness_n without_o the_o power_n etc._n etc._n and_o of_o these_o there_o be_v many_o lord_n and_o ruler_n over_o the_o poor_a creature_n though_o they_o see_v it_o not_o there_o be_v also_o one_o faith_n to_o the_o true_a church_n wherein_o they_o believe_v all_o thing_n that_o be_v write_v in_o the_o law_n

another_o faith_n of_o the_o carnal_a and_z and_o antichristian_a church_n though_o a_o blind_a faith_n for_o they_o dare_v not_o believe_v the_o scripture_n but_o as_o it_o agree_v with_o the_o judgement_n of_o man_n and_o so_o they_o have_v a_o mix_a faith_n build_v up_o upon_o the_o tradition_n of_o their_o faith_n and_o these_o father_n be_v of_o antichrist_n with_o a_o witness_n and_o of_o another_o sort_n there_o be_v also_o one_o baptism_n into_o which_o the_o true_a church_n of_o christ_n be_v all_o baptize_v into_o one_o body_n 1_o cor._n 12._o 13._o and_o this_o be_v that_o sort_n of_o baptism_n wherein_o all_o the_o true_a church_n be_v make_v partaker_n of_o the_o name_n and_o nature_n of_o god_n and_o this_o be_v the_o only_a true_a spiritual_a baptism_n of_o the_o new-testament_n and_o there_o be_v other_o baptism_n and_o they_o be_v in_o the_o flesh_n and_o upon_o the_o outward_a man_n and_o take_v up_o upon_o false_a consequence_n and_o false_a and_o carnal_a understanding_n the_o scripture_n and_o these_o be_v outward_a wash_n as_o be_v before_o the_o substance_n come_v as_o be_v waterbaptism_n and_o one_o sort_n have_v no_o example_n nor_o precept_n in_o

the_o true_a spiritual_a church_n and_o water-baptisms_a in_o the_o world_n and_o carnal_a church_n but_o here_o i_o will_v not_o be_v mistake_v for_o i_o hope_v many_o that_o be_v under_o

there_o be_v one_o god_n but_o as_o you_o expound_v the_o word_n it_o be_v one_o god_n of_o a_o sort_n and_o so_o we_o will_v keep_v to_o your_o interpretation_n one_o of_o a_o sort_n but_o this_o

to_o proceed_v far_o in_o answer_n to_o your_o objection_n there_o be_v a_o clear_a proof_n in_o the_o word_n that_o waterbaptism_n shall_v be_v leave_v and_o i_o believe_v you_o have_v read_v it_o

the_o doctrine_n to_o be_v leave_v be_v these_o six_o before_o mention_v ver_fw-la 2._o first_o then_o we_o must_v observe_v that_o this_o place_n can_v be_v understand_v as_o man_n have_v expound_v

of_o man_n let_v we_o therefore_o consider_v of_o the_o thing_n speak_v of_o here_o and_o also_o of_o other_o testimony_n of_o the_o word_n and_o first_o of_o the_o doctrine_n of_o repentance_n from_o

creature-exaltation_n self-seeking_a and_o set_v up_o idol_n have_v be_v the_o way_n to_o bring_v in_o carnal_a liberty_n and_o rant_a principle_n when_o these_o thing_n be_v impose_v upon_o

that_o he_o will_v be_v their_o god_n and_o they_o shall_v be_v his_o people_n that_o he_o will_v live_v in_o they_o and_o dwell_v among_o they_o and_o they_o shall_v be_v all_o teach_v of_o he_o

who_o be_v thus_o teach_v of_o god_n and_o do_v live_v in_o the_o law_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o life_n that_o be_v in_o christ_n who_o be_v their_o life_n and_o their_o all_o the_o law_n of_o god_n write_v in_o his_o people_n heart_n do_v no_o way_n bring_v in_o rant_a principle_n into_o their_o mind_n but_o these_o that_o be_v unto_o the_o kingdom_n of_o the_o devil_n and_o antichrist_n that_o

and_o carnal_a church_n and_o i_o must_v tell_v you_o that_o the_o law_n of_o god_n write_v in_o his_o people_n heart_n and_o mind_n this_o be_v the_o most_o rantinge_a principle_n to_o these_o that_o
