A86903	The spirituall verses and prose of James Hunt, concerning angels of light, and angels of darknesse. Now if any many shall say, that some of my verses are not good verse, I hope he will acknowledge them to be good prose, therefore I say verses and prose: dedicated to the most honourable and High Court of Parliament.	Hunt, James, 17th cent.	1643 (1643)	Wing H3737; Thomason E85_22; ESTC R22301	5,028	8

the cloud signifieth the old Law and Circumcision was a type of Baptisme and we do know children were circumcised at eight dayes old Againe I find it written Acts 2. when the Apostle told the Jewes that they had killed the Lord of life they were pricked in their hearts and said Men and brethren What shall we do Peter said unto them Repent and be baptized and ye shall receive the gifts of the Holy Ghost for the promise is unto you and to your children Mark this point I beseech you the Apostle saith plainly the promise is unto you and unto your children This place of Scripture doth plainely prove that all children of faithfull people are to be baptized to the body of Christ againe I finde it written Acts 16. concerning the Jaylo and Lydia which were converted by the Apostles for the jayler it is said he and all his were baptized againe for Lydia it is said she and all her househould were baptized now what man is able to gainesay but that those two persons might have young children belonging to them againe Christ saith Suffer little children to come unto me and forbid them not for to such belongeth the Kingdome of God marke this point I beseech you for Christ saith plainely the Kingdome of God belongeth to young children and Christ and his Church signifieth Christ and his Kingdome therefore all those that will not suffer young children to be baptized they do shut them out from the Kingdome of God againe if there be any man can prove by Scripture that Christ or any of the Apostles have forbid saying young children must not be baptized I will be of their judgement or if they can prove by Scripture that it is against the word and will of God to have young children baptized I will be of their minds againe if I aske any of them if they believe the baptisme with water doth belong to the body of Christ and to the second Covenant of grace they will say yea then I say plainely those people that will not suffer young children to be baptized they doe exclude them from the body of Christ and doe prove they have no right to the second Covenant of grace I pray God give all such people grace to turne away from that wicked practice for feare they draw downe the wrath of God upon their owne soules thus I praise God I have proved by humane reason and spirituall significations of Scripture that young children are to be baptized to the glorious body of Iesus Christ It is written Iohn 16.13 Christ saith plainely when he the spirit of truth is come he will guide you into all truth he shall glorifie me for he shall receive of mine and shall shew it unto you Mark I beseech you the commanding power of God for Christ Iesus who is the perfect God he saith plainely the spirit of truth shall receive of his and shall shew it unto you wherefore by the helpe and power of God I will shew the right honourable and high Court of Parliament a plain and perfect way how they may establish true and sound Religion in a short time for here are 4. Religions in this Land the Protestant the Papist the Brownist and the Anabaptist and all these differ one from another now if the honourable high Court of Parliament will be pleased to request the ablest men of each sort of these 4. religions to write their judgement in briefe concerning the signification of Christ his glorious Church with the holy ordinances that belongeth to it to show how children are to be baptized and how the Bread and Wine is to be administred and for marriage man with woman and for the buriall of the dead and of Church Government and I by Gods helpe will doe the like If their be any Protestant Papist Brownist or Anabaptist that can be able to shew and set forth the signification of Christ and his glorious Church with those holy Ordinances that belonge unto it in a plainer and clearer and briefer way then I by Gods helpe shall doe my soule shall rejoyce to see that man and I will be of his religion if it shall appeare soe to be by the judgement of the high Court of Parliament whom God I hope hath gathered together for the triall of the spirits wherefore I most humbly beseech you for to observe the councell of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ which saith first seeke the Kingdome of God and the righteousnesse thereof and then all things shall be added unto you now I understand there are aboundance of people that long and desire for peace but I say plainely and truely God hath drawne his powerfull Sword that here will be no true and sound peace in England till true and sound religion be established agreeable to the word of God which is revealed in the Gospell of peace wherefore I Iames Hunt a Minister and Messenger of Iesus Christ doe humbly beseech all good people that love Christ and his glorious Gospell that you will stirre up the hearts and mindes of the honourable high Court of Parliament for to establish true and sound Religion and then you need not doubt but God will powre downe his blessings upon you both spirituall and temporall wherefore I humbly beseech you prolonge not the time with my powerfull God least you provoke him to anger and so he may smite you with his wrathfull Rod. For I have bin this seaven yeares day Beseeching the Clergie and higher powers to heare what I would say But for the true love to them I beare To hate and punish me they doe not spare Because that I would shew them the way For to come unto the marriage day For now the Bridegroome and the Bride Heaven Gates they have set open wide I meane those Parrables so darke By truely sounding on the harp But the Divell and all his darke Angels they strive and labour with might and maine For to shut up the Gates againe But my glorious God by his great power He will confound them in one houre For I praise God he hath given me an understanding to know him that is true and I glorifie the name of God I am in him that is true even in his Son Jesus Christ this is the true God and eternail life I in him and he in me by the divine power of his word in his glorious Gospell which liveth in me I honour and glorifie the name of God our glorious father for ever and Christ Iesus our Mediator and Redeemer with the holy Ghost who is our loving Comforter 3 glorious persons yet but one God for as they cannot be divided no more cannot the true Church be divided from them 3. unto whom be all praise honour glory power might dominion and majestie both now and evermore world without end Amen And so God save the King and Queene and their royall seed with all the Nobility commonalty of this Land and give them al understanding from above that they may be reconciled to Christ and to the obedience of his word that they may reigne with him in glory here in this world and in the world to come world without end Amen FINIS
