A76101	The arrovv of the Almighty shot out of the creatures bowe, against the uncalled ministers in England. Or, A messages sent to them to forewarn them of their determined destruction, before it fall upon them. Likewise here is shewed, from whence they had their calling into the ministery; and how all people have been decieved by them. Here is also a glass wherein all formalists may see their own deformity, and so seek after that which is the substance, wherein all their deformity shall be done away. Likewise here is opened the mystery of the Lords Supper, and the mystery in Baptism; and how there is a threefold Baptism, having relation to the three fold name of Father, Son, and Holy Ghost; with other truths very needful to be known. All of them being laid down in as brief a manner as possiblemay be, for the use and instruction of the Presbyterians, Independants, and Anabaptists, so called; or for the good of all others who have a minde to seek God in a right way; and in the conclusion, a word to the free-gracians.

height_n of_o his_o kingdom_n will_v be_v but_o i_o can_v wish_v those_o poor_a blind_a fool_n among_o you_o to_o turn_v their_o eye_n inward_a and_o look_v for_o the_o reign_v of_o christ_n in_o

that_o be_v in_o their_o own_o heart_n and_o therefore_o not_o know_v the_o mystery_n of_o selfnesse_n in_o they_o the_o devil_n have_v power_n to_o work_v in_o their_o fancy_n and_o make_v they_o look_v for_o such_o thing_n to_o be_v fulfil_v outward_o as_o shall_v in_o their_o time_n and_o order_n be_v fulfil_v inward_o and_o all_o this_o happen_v because_o of_o the_o form_n of_o godliness_n without_o the_o power_n of_o god_n and_o as_o yet_o they_o have_v not_o receive_v the_o truth_n as_o it_o be_v in_o jesus_n neither_o do_v they_o love_v the_o truth_n nor_o can_v love_v it_o because_o they_o do_v not_o know_v it_o and_o for_o this_o cause_n god_n send_v such_o very_a strong_a delusion_n 2_o thess_n 2.8_o 9_o but_o to_o let_v these_o pass_v with_o their_o fantastic_a conceit_n i_o will_v speak_v a_o word_n in_o general_a to_o you_o as_o i_o find_v you_o state_v in_o a_o form_n to_o which_o you_o keep_v as_o close_v in_o your_o order_n as_o do_v the_o presbyterian_o yea_o and_o

all_o in_o one_o yet_o you_o who_o be_v of_o the_o order_n of_o independency_n i_o must_v confess_v have_v something_o among_o you_o in_o your_o form_n which_o i_o honour_v and_o approve_v of_o you_o for_o it_o as_o you_o be_v formalist_n and_o that_o be_v because_o you_o have_v not_o as_o yet_o tie_v or_o constrain_v any_o to_o observe_v the_o same_o way_n of_o worship_n with_o you_o but_o as_o yet_o leave_v every_o one_o to_o his_o own_o freedom_n in_o way_n of_o worship_n in_o case_n he_o or_o they_o be_v not_o open_a blasphemer_n so_o far_o all_o be_v well_o and_o further_o you_o be_v

to_o either_o of_o these_o or_o to_o both_o and_o yet_o know_v it_o not_o but_o think_v themselves_o free_a and_o the_o reason_n be_v because_o they_o never_o find_v bondage_n in_o their_o captivity_n
