A56434	A shield of the truth, or, The truth of God cleared from scandals and reproaches cast upon it by scandalous and reproachfull tongues which the devil in all ages did make use of, whereby he blasphemed the truth of God, striving to present it odious in the eyes and ears of all people, that so he might uphold his own kingdom, but the day hath made him manifest, & the Lord is come, & is coming to make war with him, and bind him, and cast him into the bottomless pit and all who bears his image, and under his dominion is written by ...

is the Baptism of Christ with the Holy Ghost and with fire but we deny all other for there is but one Lord one Faith one Baptism one God and Father of all and they who would have one Baptism outward and another inward would have two Baptisms when the Scripture saith the Baptism is but one and whosoever hath the Baptism outward are the same they were before but the Baptism of Christ makes a new creature and this I witnesse for I received water upon my face as my Parents told me which they called Baptism but I grew up an heathen as all other children doe and no new creature though my parents were counted believers amongst the world and their Priests but now I witnesse the Baptism of Christ by one spirit into one body and now I witnesse a new creature old things are past away and all things become new And now I see the other to be formal imitation and the invention of man and so a meer delusion and all are heathens and no Christians who cannot witness this Baptism who can witnesse this denies all other for the Scripture saith the Baptism is but one and who can witnesse this are believers but who cannot witnesse this are no belivers and so it is that water or no water availeth nothing but a new creature for all by nature are the children of wrath and except they be born again they cannot enter and as for the Baptism of Water which the Apostles used it being a command of Christ for its time the power went along with it and the Disciples received the Holy Ghost when they were baptised but none can witnesse this who sets their selves of acting or imitating the Apostles and so takes it up by imitation and their ground is the letter and are not guided to it by the same spirit which guided the Apostles and so they are the same after water as before and so now water or no water availeth any thing but a new creature for water was but for its time though many in darknesse have now gotten the form and are groping in it for life but wants the life and power and so from such turn away We are accused to deny the Supper of the Lord The Supper of the Lord we own which is the body and blood of Christ which the Saints feed upon and this is eternal food and life and here they all feed upon one and are of one heart and minde and here is pure and eternal union and communion and this is not carnal but spiritual for Saints are spiritual and their communion is spiritual and eternal and this we witnesse who are of one heart and one minde who are in the new Covenant and herein we discerne the Lords body and here all drunkards are shut out and all lyars adulterers proud covetous lustful and envious ones and all backbiters revilers extortioners and all deceitful and unrighteous persons are shut out of the new Covenant and are without feeding upon the husk and shadow which is carnall for the bread which the world breaks is carnall and naturall and only feeds the outward carnall body and goeth into the belly and so passeth out into the dunghill and so likewise the cup which they drink and so the communion and fellowship of the world passeth away but this is no nourishment to the soul but still the soul lies in death and here is no communion but naturall outward and carnall of severall minds and hearts full of filthinesse and uncleannesse which is the table of Devils eating and drinking their own damnation not discerning the Lords body which is spirituall which the natural man discerns not And here stands the worlds communion and fellowship which is carnall and crosse but their carnall wills and it is turned into envy and for earthly trifles they will go to Law and cozen and cheat and defraud one another for earthly trifles and like people like Priest but if they lie in wait for revenge of one another then they will not take their Sacrament as they call it And here the Devill hath as great hold for he that envies is a murderer and here is the difference betwixt the worlds communion and the Saints communion life and death for to be carnally minded is death but to be spiritually minded is life and here they are without feeding upon the husk shadow without and would destroy the life and substance where it appears both Priest people and Rulers and so have a form of godliness and denies the life and power from such turn away for it is a mere delusion to take the shadow for the substance We are accused to deny all prayer The prayers of the wicked we deny and God denies for it is abominable for Cain the wicked one who was out of the commands of God who was the first birth hee offered up a sacrifice of the earth but GOD had no respect to it but Abel the second birth who was the righteous his sacrifice God had respect to so the prayers of the faithfull and righteous God doth accept they availe what comes from his own which is the second birth his own pure what comes from it is pure God who is pure doth receive that which is pure but he receivrs nothing which is polluted or unclean for he is of purer eyes then to behold iniquity for his sacrifice must be without spot or blemish and that which comes from an uncleane heaet is sported and defiled and uncleane for nothing that is pure can come forth of an unclean vessell but who can witnesse the second birth and that the seed of the woman hath bruised the serpents head which is the first promise and faith which purefieth the heart then that which comes out is pure proceeding from a pure single heart and this prayer God receives and he hath respect to it and this we own and witnesse and this comes from the second birth which is pure for the first birth is unclean and out of the command of God in the fall in the wrath in the peevishnesse and preversnesse and frowardnesse Cain like and the seed of the serpent is first in every one and rules the head but the promise is the seed of the woman shull bruise the serpents head so you who are not come to this are still in the fall and are not come to the first promise so all your self-acting and imitating thinking to merit with your prayers and praises singings and duties and worships and traditions which are all in vaine and you are sacrificing to an unknown God a sacrifice of the earth from the first nature which God hath no respect to and the flaming sword is set against that to keep from the tree of life for both drunkards and swearers liers proud coveteous and all manner of unrighteous persons are offering up sacrifices and are in their formall worships and duties thinking
