A65879	The principal controversies between the litteral presbyters of the Kirk of Scotland, and the illuminated members of the Church of Christ, called Quakers· Truly collected, stated and opened, in a particular reply (herein specified) for general information and undeceiving the deceived. By an earnest contender for the most holy faith, which was once delivered to the saints. G. W.	Whitehead, George, 1636?-1723.	1672 (1672)	Wing W1947; ESTC R217169	70,788	112

from_o good_a consequence_n from_o the_o scripture_n indeed_o i_o have_v seldom_o meet_v with_o any_o that_o have_v appear_v so_o impertinent_a and_o ridiculous_a in_o their_o consequence_n as_o thou_o have_v do_v in_o this_o matter_n though_o thou_o count_v thy_o consequence_n of_o divine_a authority_n as_o well_o as_o express_v command_n but_o they_o bear_v no_o such_o authority_n with_o we_o who_o see_v thy_o pervert_n and_o abuse_v scripture_n to_o maintain_v and_o patch_v up_o a_o popish_a tradition_n and_o humane_a invention_n which_o thou_o have_v no_o express_a command_n for_o and_o then_o thou_o have_v in_o this_o double_o confute_v thyself_o for_o be_v there_o some_o command_n of_o divine_a authority_n now_o which_o be_v not_o scripture_n when_o before_o thou_o lay_v such_o a_o great_a stress_n upon_o scripture_n and_o deny_v revelation_n immediate_a teach_n etc._n etc._n from_o the_o light_n within_o and_o have_v diride_v it_o under_o the_o name_n of_o enthusiasm_n when_o now_o thou_o plead_v for_o something_o be_v of_o divine_a authority_n which_o be_v not_o scripture_n viz_o your_o sprinkle_v infant_n which_o in_o page_n 37._o thou_o say_v bring_v to_o the_o church_n be_v the_o ordinary_a way_n of_o put_v on_o christ_n and_o ordinary_a mean_n for_o salvation_n and_o say_v we_o be_v baptise_a into_o jesus_n christ_n and_o his_o death_n from_o rom._n 6._o and_o 3._o whereas_o before_o the_o scripture_n be_v cry_v up_o as_o the_o ordinary_a way_n and_o mean_n etc._n etc._n but_o now_o that_o which_o no_o where_o the_o scripture_n repuire_v and_o that_o of_o rom._n 6_o and_o 3._o so_o many_o of_o we_o as_o where_o baptize_v into_o jesus_n christ_n be_v baptize_v into_o his_o death_n how_o impertinent_a be_v this_o for_o thy_o turn_n as_o if_o sprinkle_v do_v baptise_v infant_n into_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n or_o as_o if_o the_o apostle_n and_o believer_n than_o be_v so_o baptize_v when_o infant_n as_o thou_o plead_v which_o be_v absurd_a to_o imagine_v and_o i_o shall_v think_v thou_o can_v not_o real_o intend_v such_o a_o thing_n in_o this_o proof_n as_o sprinkle_v infant_n which_o thou_o will_v also_o make_v we_o believe_v be_v a_o stand_a ordinance_n of_o christ_n to_o continue_v till_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n from_o mat._n 28._o and_o mar._n 16.16_o where_o they_o be_v command_v to_o teach_v all_o nation_n baptise_v they_o and_o he_o that_o believe_v and_o be_v baptize_v shall_v be_v save_v but_o do_v th●y_o go_v to_o teach_v infant_n of_o a_o week_n old_a or_o be_v such_o the_o believer_n that_o be_v baptise_a how_o blind_a sottish_a and_o ridiculous_a have_v thou_o appear_v in_o this_o matter_n as_o also_o in_o count_v it_o one_o while_n the_o ordinary_a mean_n for_o salvation_n or_o that_o which_o baptize_v into_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n another_o while_n as_o in_o the_o thirty_o eight_o page_n that_o which_o signify_v our_o put_n on_o christ_n inward_a wash_n etc._n etc._n so_o

wash_n for_o thou_o speak_v as_o that_o be_v wash_v all_o over_o best_a signify_v our_o inward_a renovation_n and_o one_o while_n plead_v for_o this_o thy_o pretend_a great_a ordinance_n as_o belong_v to_o the_o seed_n of_o believer_n and_o of_o such_o as_o have_v receive_v the_o spirit_n another_o while_o the_o child_n of_o which_o be_v profane_a and_o drunkard_n that_o profess_v the_o gospel_n who_o thou_o say_v be_v in_o this_o sense_n account_v believer_n and_o thirty_o nine_o page_n reckon_v it_o not_o needful_a for_o minister_n to_o be_v persuade_v that_o they_o be_v righteous_a so_o it_o appear_v such_o minister_n as_o thou_o be_v will_v be_v easy_o satisfy_v for_o their_o own_o end_n and_o upon_o slender_a ground_n receive_v man_n as_o believer_n if_o they_o do_v but_o profess_v the_o gospel_n though_o they_o be_v drunkard_n and_o profane_a and_o thus_o the_o parish_n priest_n of_o the_o presbyterian_a gang_n have_v deceitful_o daub_v their_o hearer_n and_o act_v like_o

to_o profess_v christ_n be_v a_o drink_n of_o christ_n this_o be_v a_o very_a easy_a way_n thou_o have_v prescribe_v for_o drink_v of_o christ_n if_o to_o profess_v he_o be_v it_o and_o then_o all_o
