in what age or time who was the first Author it was not set up by Antichrist he is little more then of 1200 yeers standing And as M. Cobbet in his answer to Denn and Blackwood with several others who have laboured to finde out the first rise cleers it to be the practice of the Churches for hundreds of yeers before Antichrist rose to conclude this if it be a Tradition it was received from the man Christ Jesus who tells us of such is the kingdom P. Pag 147. He brings Lev 10.1 2. and compares Infant-baptism to their offering strange fire to God which he had not commanded for which God burnt them with fire from heaven A. T is a very good lesson well learnt but by that rule he would be put by as a person not fit for a Minister of the Gospel how much strange fire hath he cast up and down these Nations such by which he hath at least endeavoured to burn down whole Churches And how much strange water hath he overwhelmed poor weak Christians by to the dishonor of God and his ways God is gentle in driving his flock and the tender Lambs he carries in his bosom and gives them rest and tells them his yoak is easie but his opinion and practice is to perswade the people of God that they serve a hard Master c. That be they never so weak and tender yet must they stoop to a destructive practice and that in the sharpest seasons as if men and women were made of some other mettle and not flesh and blood But methinks the Scripture he brings should make him see his error If Nadab and Abihues sin was offering up such fire which he commanded not then it seems God expected they should pick out his meaning by comparing things rationally together for they had no express command not to offer such or what fire they should offer but fire they were to offer by which we see if God gives but the hint of a truth he will have his children to finde out the whole so that had we onely the hint of Gods minde touching Abrahams covenant how it took in believers and their seed under the Old-Testament and it being a covenant of pure grace and therefore unchangable reaching to the Gentiles and such an example as he gave in Zacheus a Gentile calling him a son of Abraham and therefore salvation was come to his house I say such hints as these had we nothing else to say were enough for us Gentiles to pick out the rest that if they had Abrahams covenant and blessing given then in the same extent and surely the seal must follow I onely touch this by the by It hath been before cleared that every part and parcel of Gods word is for us to justifie our practice of Infant-baptism But suppose his own sense of this place were to be understoōd concerning Nadab and Abihu as a reproof to us for practising things without a command in so many express words or syllables then also it is offering up strange fire in his sense for Christians under the Gospel to keep the Sabboth because it is not so expresly commanded in the New-Testament which without any peradventure must upon the account he pleads be his judgement and were it not for a curbing power I doubt would quickly be his pract●ce But take heed M. P. that your heart be not rotten in this lest strange fire or strange water make you a like example with those persons before mentioned P. Pag. 148. He applyes these Texts to our practice Jer. 9.13 14 15. 1 Sam. 13.12 13. Jer. 8 9. Because they have forsaken my Law and walked after the imaginations of their own hearts therefore I will give them to feed on wormwood and give them the water of Gall to drink and will consume them Again therefore the wise are dismayed and ashamed they have rejected the word of the Lord. Therefore will I give their wives to others c. They have built the high places of Tophet in the valley of the son of Hinnom to burn their sons and daughters in the fire which I commanded them not A. What could th●s Author say more and how could the Scriptures be more abused and the powers of the Nations be more strook at his voice speaks nothing but Gall and Wormwood and consumings and giving our wives to others and telling us we sacrifice our children to devils offer them to our own inventions set up our posts by Gods posts and our selves in the room of God Is there not think you a young Pope sprung up in these Nations who begins to throw fire out of his sleeve to terrifie the world Magistrates are you all a sleep I am sure you are not all Anabaptists you own the Ordinance of Infant-baptism Why will you suffer it to be reproacht and Christ therein Do you not see the language he gives you for offering your children to God which he calls to the devil for such are Idolaters devil-worshippers Rom. 9.20 1 Cor. 10.19 20 21. Deut. 32.17 Psal 106.36 37. is Satan ever the more to be hugged in the bosom for his bringing of Scripture when it is onely to hide the Serpents sting in the tayl Awake awake put on strength O thou Arm of the Lord. Consider what your duty is touching the first Table and remember honest New-England P. The Scripture by M. P. quoted against us is 2 Cor. 26.14 15. of Vzza who fearing the fall of the Ark put his hand to it to bear it up without a command and King Vzziah who medled with burning Incence without Authority from God And being wroth with the Ministers of God the leprosie rose up in his forehead and Gods wrath brake forth upon him A. If these Texts by him cited are not applyed to his own heart it is a sign he is obdurat and some sad judgements are like to befal him for the places are directly parallel to his own practice what did Vzza do that M. P. doth not Hath he not put to his hand to stay up the Ark of God without a command or call to the Ministery yea rather is he not endeavouring to his utmost to pull it down What did Vzziah do that he doth not It appertaineth not to thee Vzziah to burn Incence to the Lord Go out of the Sanctuary for thou hast sinned And it shall not be for thine honor from the Lord God ver 18. Did God punish a King and shall it be unpunisht in a mean man who not onely intrudes but also strikes the faithful Ministers and servants of God with his Censor I mean with a reviling tongue but it shall not be for his honor from the Lord God Remember the judgement of Vzza and Vzziah and apply it inwardly P. He comes now again to appeal to such as fear God and advise them to take heed of such an Idol And to any that is not blinded with the stumbling block of their iniquity by reason of Satans sub●ilty to
