A47167	A refutation of three opposers of truth by plain evidence of the holy Scripture, viz. I. Of Pardon Tillinghast, who pleadeth for water-baptism, its being a Gospel-precept, and opposeth Christ within, as a false Christ. To which is added, something concerning the Supper, &c. II. Of B. Keech, in his book called, A tutor for children, where he disputeth against the sufficiency of the light within, in order of salvation; and calleth Christ in the heart, a false Christ in the secret chamber. II. Of Cotton Mather, who in his appendix to his book, called, Memorable providences, relating to witchcrafts, &c. doth so weakly defend his father Increase Mather from being justly chargeable with abusing the honest people called Quakers, that he doth the more lay open his fathers nakedness; and beside the abuses and injuries that his father had cast upon that people, C. Mather, the son, addeth new abuses of his own. And a few words of a letter to John Cotton, called a minister, at Plymouth in New England. By George Keith.

supper_n do_v not_o real_o eat_v and_o drink_v sufficient_o to_o refresh_v &_o nourish_v the_o natural_a body_n as_o well_o as_o together_o with_o that_o their_o soul_n be_v refresh_v and_o nourish_v

your_o manner_n of_o eat_v about_o the_o quantity_n of_o a_o nut_n in_o bread_n and_o a_o spoonful_n one_o or_o two_o in_o wine_n we_o find_v no_o where_o in_o all_o the_o new_a testament_n and_o that_o you_o give_v the_o cup_n but_o once_o and_o christ_n give_v it_o twice_o as_o i_o have_v show_v in_o my_o late_a book_n this_o you_o can_v give_v no_o account_n of_o and_o thou_o have_v not_o

agree_v with_o the_o dark_a priest_n and_o other_o dark_a professor_n 3_o dly_z thou_o do_v represent_v the_o quaker_n as_o deny_v that_o christ_n be_v come_v in_o the_o flesh_n and_o carry_v it_o in_o a_o subtle_a notion_n that_o he_o be_v come_v in_o their_o flesh_n this_o be_v a_o most_o false_a and_o injurious_a accusation_n we_o most_o faithful_o believe_v and_o embrace_v it_o as_o a_o

flesh_n and_o that_o the_o body_n of_o the_o saint_n be_v the_o temple_n of_o god_n and_o of_o christ_n &_o of_o the_o holy_a spirit_n and_o that_o the_o saint_n be_v his_o member_n and_o he_o their_o

illumination_n and_o manifestation_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n be_v give_v to_o all_o man_n in_o a_o day_n or_o time_n according_a to_o plain_a scripture_n yet_o we_o do_v not_o say_v tha●_n all_o man_n have_v the_o holy_a spirit_n or_o be_v baptize_v with_o it_o as_o thou_o do_v false_o represent_v we_o for_o many_o man_n be_v sensual_a not_o have_v the_o spirit_n and_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n have_v leave_v many_o man_n and_o do_v no_o more_o invite_v and_o call_v they_o to_o repentance_n the_o day_n of_o their_o visitation_n be_v over_o 4_o thly_a thou_o do_v insinuate_v as_o if_o we_o do_v not_o believe_v any_o other_o come_v of_o christ_n than_o his_o inward_a come_n in_o his_o saint_n which_o be_v false_a as_o also_o be_v that_o other_o gross_a alledgance_n of_o thou_o that_o our_o opposition_n to_o water_n baptism_n be_v raise_v against_o the_o person_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o the_o remembrance_n of_o his_o last_o come_v this_o i_o altogether_o deny_v as_o

of_o true_a man_n that_o seed_n of_o david_n and_o abraham_n and_o that_o he_o shall_v come_v again_o and_o jud●e_v both_o quick_a and_o dead_a even_o the_o man_n christ_n jesus_n and_o as_o for_o thy_o other_o many_o false_a accusation_n and_o hard_o bitter_a and_o reproachful_a speech_n against_o we_o and_o i_o in_o particular_a i_o shall_v not_o waste_v paper_z nor_o time_n to_o repeat_v they_o but_o hearty_o wish_v thy_o repentance_n and_o the_o open_n of_o thy_o dark_a understanding_n to_o the_o acknowledge_v and_o confess_v to_o the_o truth_n if_o it_o be_v the_o good_a will_n of_o god_n that_o so_o it_o may_v come_v to_o pass_v before_o thy_o day_n be_v expire_v and_o now_o you_o water_n baptist_n who_o plead_v so_o earnest_o for_o water_n baptism_n though_o in_o opposition_n to_o the_o live_n and_o glorious_a appearance_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n in_o the_o heart_n of_o his_o saint_n some_o of_o you_o call_v christ_n in_o the_o heart_n a_o false_a christ_n in_o the_o secret_a chamber_n the_o which_o

be_v arrive_v to_o a_o state_n above_o or_o beyond_o the_o apostle_n after_o they_o have_v receive_v the_o holy_a ghost_n for_o thou_o say_v here_o we_o may_v note_v the_o pride_n that_o this_o

be_v a_o most_o injurious_a and_o gross_a perversion_n of_o my_o word_n and_o of_o our_o principle_n i_o never_o say_v write_v or_o think_v any_o such_o thing_n but_o take_v notice_n on_o what_o false_a foundation_n he_o ground_n this_o his_o perversion_n because_o i_o say_v in_o my_o last_o book_n if_o they_o who_o be_v so_o zealous_a for_o water_n baptism_n be_v cordial_o zealous_a for_o the_o inward_a and_o spiritual_a baptism_n they_o may_v be_v the_o more_o bear_v with_o as_o man_n bear_v with_o child_n etc._n etc._n and_o charity_n may_v be_v allow_v they_o in_o that_o case_n to_o be_v as_o child_n or_o babe_n in_o christ._n i_o entreat_v the_o reader_n to_o take_v notice_n that_o i_o say_v nothing_o here_o of_o the_o apostle_n or_o any_o live_n in_o that_o age_n but_o of_o these_o now_o live_v in_o our_o age_n who_o be_v general_o too_o zealous_a for_o the_o water_n baptism_n but_o have_v little_a or_o no_o zeal_n most_o of_o they_o for_o the_o inward_a and_o spiritual_a plain_o deny_v inward_a divine_a revelation_n as_o the_o privilege_n give_v to_o the_o saint_n in_o our_o age_n and_o call_v christ_n in_o the_o heart_n of_o the_o saint_n a_o false_a christ_n as_o this_o pardon_n tillinghast_n have_v do_v and_o as_o many_o other_o do_v and_o though_o the_o apostle_n after_o they_o receive_v the_o holy_a ghost_n use_v water_n baptism_n yet_o it_o be_v not_o for_o themselves_o who_o see_v beyond_o it_o and_o be_v attain_v to_o that_o one_o baptism_n not_o the_o put_v away_o the_o filth_n of_o the_o flesh_n but_o the_o answer_n of_o a_o good_a conscience_n as_o peter_n declare_v but_o in_o the_o apostle_n day_n there_o be_v babe_n in_o christ_n and_o many_o scarce_o arrive_v at_o the_o true_a state_n of_o spiritual_a babe_n who_o the_o apostle_n see_v meet_v to_o baptize_v into_o water_n but_o yet_o that_o water_n baptism_n be_v not_o the_o milk_n where_o with_o they_o be_v feed_v but_o rather_o as_o stilt_n or_o crutch_n that_o these_o babe_n or_o lame_a person_n use_v for_o some_o time_n and_o whereas_o thou_o further_o say_v that_o we_o call_v quaker_n be_v bear_v monster_n not_o babe_n to_o be_v feed_v with_o milk_n as_o the_o saint_n heretofore_o here_o thy_o scornful_a spirit_n full_a of_o bitterness_n and_o prejudice_n do_v plain_o appear_v how_o many_o thousand_o babe_n in_o christ_n have_v be_v before_o ever_o baptism_n with_o water_n be_v in_o be_v and_o since_o it_o receive_v its_o burial_n and_o whoever_o seek_v to_o raise_v it_o again_o or_o restore_v it_o in_o their_o own_o self-will_n and_o mere_a

milk_n of_o babe_n be_v the_o sincere_a milk_n of_o the_o word_n and_o that_o be_v not_o water-baptism_n and_o whereas_o thou_o allege_v that_o to_o pretend_v to_o the_o power_n and_o deny_v the_o form_n of_o godliness_n be_v as_o hypocritical_a as_o the_o other_o be_v formal_a this_o we_o agree_v unto_o but_o it_o remain_v as_o yet_o to_o be_v prove_v that_o water_n baptism_n be_v any_o part_n of_o the_o form_n of_o godliness_n since_o the_o form_n and_o practice_n of_o it_o have_v general_o cease_v since_o the_o apostle_n for_o many_o age_n past_a and_o but_o again_o be_v raise_v up_o by_o the_o mere_a will_n of_o man_n without_o any_o divine_a call_n or_o authority_n so_o far_o as_o ever_o i_o can_v yet_o learn_v for_o i_o never_o yet_o hear_v that_o any_o in_o this_o age_n or_o

will_v appear_v to_o the_o impartial_a reader_n that_o i_o have_v sufficient_o answer_v to_o thy_o objection_n and_o pretend_a reason_n from_o plain_a scripture_n which_o thou_o have_v but_o gross_o
