the Kingdom of Heaven as this 〈◊〉 Child you cannot enter into the Kingdome of Heaven Luke 18.16 Which of you that denies Baptisme in Infants that ever receiveth the Kingdome of God are fréer from sin then a little child besides know you not that the old Circumcision was a Figure of our Baptisme which ought to be administred on the eighth day did not Paul Baptize whole Housholds yea whole Nations whereof Gentiles were a part and the reason 〈◊〉 Circumcision was turned to Baptisme was because that every thing containing to godlinesse should be done in the Name of Christ the Son of God as there was a change of the Order of Priesthood so there was a change of the old Circumcision to Baptisme and why men and women were baptized was because they had received but a Figure of so great a solemnity and why Christ was baptized after circumcision was because he accepted if as pleasing to God the Father and far more excellent then circumcision and to fulfill all righteousnesse what good Baptisme doth is this only a sign of grace of Gods holy Spirit ascending on a creature according to his external conspiration for 't is not the washing of the body in water that washes away sin but of Christs onely Blood that purifies the creatures circumcision nor uncircumcision availeth any thing 't is the n●wnesse of life and the continuing therein for he that is a believer when he is baptized if he doth not perfectly serve God is in a far greater errour then a little child Much more I could have spoke but this shall serve for the proof of Baptisme of Infants Now coming to the Sacrament of the Lords Supper Christ said at his last Supper to his Disciples Take eat this is my Body the outward visible sign was Bread Christ brake but his pure Body is the saving grace and health of our soul And as often as it is done it is done it is in in remembrance of Christ In the same manner he also took the Cup saying This Cup is the New Testament in my blood and as often as you eat this Bread and drink of this Cup you do it in remembrance of me to shew the Lords Death till he come Matth. 26.16 Mark 14.22 Luke 22.19 1 Cor. 11.24,25 26. Now against all opposers of this Truth that denyeth whatsoever in this Book I have writ both of the Church and her Worship the Apostle Paul approveth of the Church being abovesaid saying to unworthy Receivers Have you not Houses to eat and drink in or despise you the Church of God 1 Cor. 11.22 and in the next Verse as much as the Apostle should say You are a shame to good men shall I praise you in this nay I praise you not the type of the same worship was administred to Abraham by Melchizedec and established for ever Jesus Christ the eternal Priest governeth this Church and people according to his will So desiring all people to be stedfast in the doctrine of the Truth and give no heed to every spirit for that spirit that denyeth the Ordinance of God cannot be a stable spirit by the will of God and I hope I have said enough to convince the gainsayers of this truth And so to draw to my Exhortation and to the end of my Book I beséech our Men in Power as our King his Council and Parliament to execute all judgement and justice according to equity and right and let no honour no bounty no wealth no greatness nor no tall Ceder have any friendship or favour in an unjust cause then the poorest raggedst meanest and simplest shrub But that vice may be punished and evil works to the everlasting establishment of Truth O look upon the poor of these Kingdoms whom the rich man inslaves and let the flourishing Gospel have a frée passage O let it be poured out as Oyl to our festring sores send out chosen and skilful Doctors of our poor souls that may shew us a light by their zeal and rehearse the truth with boldness from that fountain which ever springeth O you Bishops Ministers be you qualified with all the properties of godliness that by your teaching and well grounded exhortations we may reap profit and be edifled to the redressing of our perplexed souls and as you have the charge of the peoples souls in your tuition as the sower should sow his séed to be fruitful so should the well-grounded Word of God be preached abroad to the profit of all hearers And you professors and people that make such a great doe about Religion God will punish your ignorance and not let your false interpretation go unpunished for know you not what Paul saith There shall come such as shall speak evil of Dignities Jude 8. O friends speak not evil of Dignities but be in obedience to all men as God hath commanded Lot was obedient to the Angels at the gate of Sodom when he rose and met them bowing himself to the ground Gen. 19.1 The Apostle of Christ hath commanded several times all people to obey Magistrates and to submit to all men that fulfills the word that saith Have no respect no persons feast not the rich and send the poor empty away Though Haman was hangd for acting evil against Mordecai because he would not obey him and as he would have serv'd himself so was he served yet this was no example for any to continue unobedient but an example for men not to séek a mans life because he will not honour them as for all such as goes on in these things I durst not bring in railing accusations but to say the Lord rebuke them Jude verse 9. Esther 7.10 And indéed contrarily to the Word of God they go and speak evil of things they know not yee say they have the Light of CHRIST which I have proved so be darknesse they know not but naturally as bruit beasts in these things they corrupt themselves but wo unto them for they run gréedily after the errours of Balaam Clouds they are without water raging waves of the Sea foaming out their own shame wandring Stars to whom is reserved the blacknesse and darkness for ever Jude 10 11 12 13 verses Christian Friends withraw your selves from those men and hearken to the Ministers and walk before God as in purity unto honour and live under this established Government the Church and her Worship worthily as Christians ought to doe disowning of nothing in Scripture but ful what I have subscribed And if you will but learn to walk thus perfect in Love and Charity 't will bind your hope to a perfect assurance of Eternal SALVATION So the whole Trinity enabling you as God the Father Son and Holy Ghost inlighten you in the Truth through this evil world to Everlasting Glory Amen FINIS

double honour especially they who labour in the word and doctrine for the Laborer is worthy of hyre Math. 10.10 1 Tim. 5.17.19 for against the Elder return no Accusation but before two or three witnesses I therefore beséech you brethren not to put belief in fables and to make controversie about the word of God and 〈◊〉 ns thus to teach and exhort and if any man teach otherwayes and not in doctrine according to Godlinesse he is proud knowing nothing but doubting about questions and strife of words whereof comes envy discord evill-●…rmising perverse disputings of men of corrupt minde and deserters of the truth supposing that gain to be godlinesse but from such withdraw thy self nor be not carried away with divers and strange doctrine for it is a good thing to have thy heart established with Grace Heb. 13.9 and remember the teachers of God that rule over you and preaches Gods Word to the end of their lives ver 7. These reasons and grounds of Scripture are sufficient to prove these Truths before mentioned for Christ saith Beware of false prophets which comes to you in sheeps cloathing but inwardly they are as ravenous wolves you may know them by their fruits Matth. 7.15 Luk. 6.43 And spiritual fruits are these love joy peace long-suffering gentleness goodness faith méekness temperance against such there is no law and they that are Christs have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts If we live in the spirit let us also walk in the spirit let us not be desirous of vain-glory provoking and envying of one another Gal. 5.26 Which so to be is a turning to unrighteousness and to the works of the flesh which are fornication uncleannesse Idolatry witchcraft hatred variance wrath strife seditions heresies reviling railing murder drunkenenness envying covetousness pride loftiness and such like and they that do such things can in no wise enter into life eternal and Professors and People be not thus led away by the Prince of Darknesse 'T is no professing your selves to be in the light of Christ except you walk before God as did Abraham and be perfect Gen. 7.1 Nay you must present your self a sacrifice without spot or blemish The Priest next I speak of whom that God sent Christ to be a High Priest after the order of Melchizedec Heb. 6.20 For it is evident that our Lord sprung out of Judah of which Tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priesthood but we having now a high Priest even Christ Iesus Now concerning the Levitical Priesthood is now ended 't is only the Priesthood of Melchizedec's order that we attend too Now let me tell you what was his order his Order was to administer the Sacrament of Christs body to Abraham being as a Figure of Christs last Supper which was bread and wine Gen. 14. what recompence was admitted for Melchizedec Priest of the most high God Abraham the faithful gave him Tyths of all Gen. 14. then is it not necessary that our Priests that administer the Sacrament and attend on the service of God should have tyths of all You 'l say Priesthood was changed and old things became new and how then must of necessity be a change of the Law yes I grant this but not a quit● destroying of the Law Christ came not to destroy the Law but to fulfil it for the law made nothing perfect but the bringing in of a better hope by which we draw nigh unto God Heb. 7.16 For when Christ came into the world he preached Baptism of repentance warning all both Priest people to hearken to his Doctrine which was not grievous and to take observation by him to walk humbly before God the Apostle saith that the Minister must live of his ministring and how also the Minister of God must be chosen and approved of his ministring Now when that Christ came said there néeds must be a change of the Law and things must become new is thus first the old Ceremonies of the Law are abolished as your Tabernacle and Candlesticks and Shew-bread the holiest of all with the Golden Censor the Golden Pot Seraphin of glory shadowing the Mercy Seat wherein went the High Priest to offer the blood of Balis and Calves for himself and the sorrows of the people which was but a Figure for the time then present but could never make the service perfect Heb. 9. are to be left off by us Christians and all the Ceremonies that attend to the same purpose those are to be changed and the administration for which the Levitical Priest which makes a change of the Law for when Christ came into the world he offered his own body as a sacrifice for the people his own blood as a ransom for all then what more is the blood of Christ though the eternal spirit of God better then the blood of Bulls and Calves Christ offered but once for all to bear the sins of the people and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation Heb. 9.28 Christ dying leaves all to his Disciples and ordains them next in the Church ●e also chused Elders called Bishops the Bishops chuse Ministers qualified for the Gospel and so all along God hath set in his Church Apostles Prophets and Teachers and Governours 1 Cor. 12.28 and ordaineth all there shall be a way of maintenance for his Teachers according to the direction of that Government that is set in the Church so this Government and many other before them give the Ministers of God their maintenance by way of tyths to preach the Gospel after the order of Melchizedec for ever A way of maintenance must be paid for the Ministry then how can it be better then by way of Tythes for if it was put to the Consciences of some men of resolute spirits they would pay nothing and by such means the Gospel of Christ would be discountenanced or if all people should have liberty of Conscience to doe what they list the Sabbath day would be of little regard and a world of evil conceits practised every man running after the frowardness of his own heart we should have murder whoredome drunkennesse and woful actions publickly committed then all these abominations would rely upon the Governour of the people therefore judge you is it not more pleasing to God and Man to have this Kingdome established with Truth and uprightnesse and thus far I have handled Tythes and Priesthood Look what the King doth so far as is not contrary to the Word of God we are bound to be obedient to his Lawes and we had also better to rest in quiel and peace with all men and for quietnesse sake to give to men that which is not due then to withhold the due from any man The next things I speak of is Baptisme and the Lords Supper approving them to be expedient and pleasing to God and profitable to man As for Baptism of Infants 't is very fit for Christ said except you receive
