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.

our_o power_n be_v terrible_a as_o a_o army_n with_o banner_n against_o all_o who_o will_v not_o worship_n god_n in_o our_o way_n for_o our_o way_n of_o worship_n be_v the_o only_a way_n of_o

that_o we_o keep_v close_o to_o our_o religious_a worship_v of_o he_o for_o neither_o do_v we_o allow_v of_o any_o to_o be_v our_o pastor_n but_o such_o as_o have_v come_v in_o by_o the_o right_a

day_n the_o lord_n day_n though_o every_o day_n be_v the_o lord_n yet_o he_o have_v two_o day_n which_o he_o more_o usual_o claim_v for_o his_o own_o as_o we_o may_v see_v in_o scripture_n viz._n a_o day_n of_o his_o execute_v his_o anger_n against_o sin_n and_o man_n for_o sin_n and_o this_o be_v call_v the_o day_n of_o the_o lord_n as_o you_o may_v see_v in_o isa_n 2.12_o &_o 13.6.9_o &_o 34_o 8._o jer._n 46.10_o lam._n 2.22_o etc._n etc._n and_o another_o day_n he_o have_v wherein_o he_o will_v show_v to_o man_n the_o mystery_n of_o his_o kingdom_n and_o the_o favour_n of_o his_o love_a kindness_n in_o which_o day_n the_o soul_n of_o his_o people_n shall_v be_v glad_a and_o rejoice_v and_o this_o be_v the_o lord_n day_n wherein_o he_o will_v be_v glorify_v and_o magnify_v in_o the_o soul_n of_o his_o people_n when_o they_o be_v make_v to_o see_v and_o know_v his_o wonderful_a love_a kindness_n manifest_v in_o their_o soul_n and_o that_o his_o son_n jesus_n only_o rule_v and_o reign_v above_o all_o power_n and_o principality_n and_o this_o day_n you_o may_v see_v set_v out_o in_o many_o place_n of_o scripture_n also_o as_o in_o isa_n 25.9_o &_o 26.1_o &_o 28.5_o &_o 29.18_o etc._n etc._n and_o 2_o cor._n 1.14_o and_o in_o this_o day_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v john_n in_o the_o spirit_n where_o be_v make_v know_v to_o he_o these_o great_a mystery_n and_o well_o may_v he_o call_v it_o the_o lord_n day_n for_o so_o it_o be_v but_o from_o thence_o none_o can_v just_o gather_v that_o this_o day_n you_o observe_v can_v be_v call_v the_o lord_n day_n more_o than_o any_o other_o and_o in_o so_o do_v you_o follow_v but_o tradition_n of_o man_n have_v no_o command_n for_o it_o in_o all_o the_o scripture_n therefore_o take_v heed_n you_o make_v not_o the_o commandment_n of_o god_n of_o none_o effect_v by_o your_o tradition_n for_o this_o be_v the_o do_v of_o the_o scribe_n and_o pharisee_n by_o which_o they_o be_v blind_v and_o can_v not_o know_v christ_n to_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n when_o he_o be_v among_o they_o in_o the_o flesh_n but_o in_o call_v it_o the_o first_o day_n it_o may_v be_v say_v that_o be_v the_o most_o proper_a name_n of_o it_o because_o of_o some_o ground_n in_o scripture_n for_o so_o do_v but_o yet_o you_o have_v no_o evidence_n nor_o command_v in_o all_o the_o new_a testament_n for_o observe_v the_o first_o day_n after_o the_o

they_o for_o the_o poor_a saint_n 1_o cor._n 16.2_o for_o no_o other_o thing_n to_o be_v observe_v upon_o that_o day_n have_v you_o any_o command_n and_o this_o command_n i_o doubt_v you_o do_v not_o obey_v upon_o that_o day_n for_o your_o foolish_a holiness_n have_v eat_v out_o your_o charity_n which_o you_o shall_v have_v show_v upon_o that_o day_n and_o this_o be_v a_o invention_n of_o your_o wise_a preach_v minister_n who_o change_v the_o work_n of_o that_o day_n into_o a_o submissive_a hear_n of_o they_o speak_v so_o long_o upon_o that_o day_n and_o for_o this_o they_o have_v neither_o

day_n and_o erect_v a_o great_a holiness_n upon_o that_o day_n then_o to_o make_v collection_n for_o the_o poor_a and_o thus_o you_o have_v observe_v what_o they_o invent_v and_o yet_o you_o can_v

i_o make_v the_o jewish_a sabbath_n void_a and_o likewise_o the_o name_n of_o this_o day_n to_o be_v the_o lord_n day_n more_o than_o any_o other_o because_o i_o have_v no_o command_n for_o they_o

that_o day_n which_o do_v of_o right_o belong_v to_o christ_n and_o in_o so_o do_v that_o day_n become_v lord_n over_o you_o whereas_o those_o who_o be_v in_o christ_n be_v lord_n over_o that_o day_n and_o in_o observe_v of_o that_o day_n i_o will_v have_v you_o to_o observe_v it_o as_o by_o tradition_n and_o not_o by_o command_n and_o likewise_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o obedience_n to_o the_o high_a power_n who_o will_v have_v such_o a_o day_n observe_v for_o some_o pious_a end_n and_o in_o these_o respect_v i_o can_v wish_v that_o not_o only_o the_o first_o day_n of_o every_o week_n but_o the_o four_o also_o be_v set_v apart_o for_o pious_a end_n but_o not_o to_o make_v they_o principle_n in_o religion_n but_o herein_o be_v the_o weakness_n and_o ignorance_n of_o man_n make_v

i_o come_v to_o a_o second_o principle_n in_o your_o religion_n viz._n the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n but_o that_o sacrament_n be_v not_o a_o proper_a name_n for_o it_o for_o it_o be_v

that_o in_o that_o act_n you_o have_v your_o faith_n
nay_o for_o i_o something_o doubt_v you_o have_v but_o a_o false_a interpretation_n of_o the_o word_n but_o can_v thou_o tell_v what_o the_o work_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v before_o he_o return_v the_o
