of_o antichrist_n be_v make_v up_o of_o carnal_a christian_n make_v so_o by_o water-baptism_n objection_n 4._o but_o infant-baptisme_n have_v be_v of_o a_o long_a time_n stand_v for_o aught_o we_o

example_n it_o be_v nothing_o worth_a for_o consider_v there_o be_v many_o antichrist_n go_v forth_o even_o in_o the_o apostle_n time_n and_o that_o which_o have_v no_o ground_n in_o scripture_n must_v needs_o be_v a_o antichrist_n and_o then_o here_o be_v the_o whole_a line_n of_o your_o succession_n cut_v off_o what_o do_v you_o think_v be_v not_o this_o the_o way_n to_o set_v up_o a_o antichrist_n to_o go_v about_o to_o make_v christian_n where_o christ_n make_v none_o now_o all_o europe_n have_v be_v make_v christian_n by_o infant-baptisme_n and_o yet_o many_o thousand_o of_o they_o have_v not_o be_v christian_n indeed_o and_o then_o what_o have_v they_o be_v but_o antichristian_o and_o all_o this_o have_v be_v do_v without_o any_o testimony_n at_o all_o from_o the_o word_n therefore_o it_o be_v of_o antichrist_n and_o not_o of_o the_o true_a christ_n again_o many_o have_v be_v dip_v in_o water_n at_o several_a time_n from_o a_o outward_a profession_n and_o after_o their_o conversation_n have_v declare_v they_o to_o be_v of_o antichrist_n so_o both_o form_n in_o both_o way_n go_v to_o make_v up_o a_o carnal_a church_n for_o antichrist_n from_o unity_n in_o a_o form_n for_o which_o there_o be_v no_o ground_n at_o all_o for_o in_o the_o word_n of_o truth_n but_o mere_o from_o man_n carnal_a principle_n conceit_n and_o tradition_n one_o never_o be_v

fellowship_n love_n and_o unity_n among_o themselves_o so_o that_o they_o deny_v no●_n asunder_o as_o other_o do_v and_o as_o they_o may_v if_o they_o do_v not_o take_v up_o this_o form_n answer_v 1_o example_n teach_v we_o that_o unity_n in_o a_o external_a form_n can_v keep_v people_n together_o in_o unity_n fellowship_n and_o love_n for_o many_o that_o have_v be_v and_o be_v still_o one_o in_o

common_o keep_v people_n together_o for_o their_o own_o end_n and_o interest_n therefore_o this_o unity_n be_v not_o gospel-proof_n but_o antichristian_a unity_n for_o that_o be_v antichristian_a unity_n that_o tie_v up_o people_n love_n in_o one_o form_n 2._o the_o people_n of_o god_n who_o be_v call_v by_o his_o grace_n and_o have_v his_o love_n reveal_v in_o they_o and_o do_v real_o live_v

practice_v than_o you_o have_v for_o waterbaptism_n and_o that_o will_v be_v more_o in_o force_n when_o the_o other_o do_v appear_v to_o be_v no_o ordinance_n at_o all_o but_o now_o to_o the_o latter_a part_n of_o your_o objection_n that_o this_o be_v the_o way_n to_o bring_v in_o rant_a principle_n if_o we_o deny_v waterbaptism_n to_o be_v a_o ordinance_n etc._n etc._n first_o must_v carnal_a liberty_n be_v bring_v into_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n if_o that_o be_v not_o set_v up_o and_o practise_v there_o which_o christ_n never_o command_v this_o be_v very_o strange_a 2_o be_v this_o the_o way_n to_o bring_v in_o carnal_a liberty_n and_o rant_a principle_n among_o believer_n to_o exalt_v the_o work_n of_o all_o power_n in_o heaven_n and_o earth_n i_o think_v that_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 creature_n to_o make_v up_o a_o outside_n society_n then_o take_v heed_n of_o rant_a 3_o god_n do_v according_a to_o his_o promise_n write_v his_o righteous_a and_o holy_a just_a and_o good_a law_n in_o his_o people_n heart_n and_o put_v his_o fear_n in_o they_o that_o so_o they_o may_v never_o depart_v from_o he_o and_o have_v say_v they_o shall_v not_o depart_v from_o he_o any_o more_o and_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 and_o great_a shall_v be_v their_o peace_n etc._n etc._n now_o i_o hope_v this_o be_v not_o the_o way_n to_o bring_v in_o rant_a principle_n and_o carnal_a liberty_n among_o the_o people_n of_o god_n 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 do_v consist_v in_o sin_n and_o all_o unrighteousness_n and_o in_o empty_a form_n tradition_n and_o precept_n of_o man_n who_o proceed_v from_o fleshly_a and_o carnal_a principle_n in_o the_o world_n 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 can_v be_v upon_o the_o face_n of_o the_o earth_n therefore_o when_o god_n write_v his_o law_n in_o his_o people_n heart_n and_o bring_v forth_o the_o new_a creation_n in_o they_o and_o so_o make_v

this_o be_v the_o substance_n of_o spirit-baptisme_n and_o be_v infinite_o more_o than_o be_v imagine_v by_o those_o who_o think_v the_o baptism_n of_o the_o spirit_n to_o consist_v bare_o in_o

to_o sin_n we_o be_v now_o dead_a to_o sin_n i_o hope_v no_o man_n be_v so_o simple_a as_o to_o think_v that_o baptise_a man_n into_o material_a water_n can_v kill_v sin_n in_o they_o or_o make_v

here_o the_o apostle_n call_v this_o baptism_n plant_v into_o christ_n death_n and_o be_v material_a water_n think_v you_o of_o any_o force_n at_o all_o to_o plant_v we_o into_o the_o death_n of_o
