A77739	A confutation of the Anabaptists, and all others who affect not civill government; proving the lawfullnesse of it: and a full answer to all their cavills, that are, or can be made against it. With a nut-cracker for an unnaturall nut, whose shell is as hard as the scales of Leviathan, and the kernell of his heart as hard as a piece of the nether mill-stone, Iob 41.15.24. yet the hammer of Gods word that breaketh in pieces the rocks, Ier. 23.29. will break this nut, that all may see the devillish kernell that is in it. Also arguments against the Anabaptists, proving that infants borne of Christian parents ought to be baptized: with a full answer to all their cavills that are (or can be) made against it.

of_o god_n no_o calling_n be_v exempt_v say_v paul_n ourselves_o be_v servant_n for_o jesus_n sake_n but_o to_o the_o first_o of_o these_o which_o be_v the_o person_n of_o believer_n to_o these_o

may_v know_v it_o if_o they_o find_v three_o thing_n in_o themselves_o the_o first_o be_v the_o testimony_n of_o their_o conscience_n that_o they_o enter_v not_o for_o praise_v honour_n or_o lucre_n but_o in_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n with_o a_o desire_n to_o glorify_v he_o and_o to_o edisie_v the_o church_n second_o a_o faculty_n to_o do_v that_o which_o they_o have_v a_o desire_n to_o do_v in_o this_o saculty_n be_v two_o thing_n 1._o a_o knowledge_n of_o god_n and_o of_o his_o way_n 2._o aptness_n to_o deliver_v that_o which_o they_o know_v the_o three_o thing_n whereby_o they_o may_v know_v their_o call_n be_v the_o ordination_n of_o the_o church_n which_o appear_v and_o give_v testimony_n of_o their_o will_n and_o ability_n he_o that_o have_v these_o thing_n be_v certain_o call_v of_o god_n now_o put_v the_o case_n a_o man_n want_v the_o first_o of_o these_o three_o and_o enter_v with_o a_o evil_a conscience_n be_v carry_v with_o ambitious_a and_o covetous_a desire_n i_o answer_v yet_o his_o call_n still_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o church_n be_v good_a and_o lawful_a and_o when_o he_o repent_v of_o his_o bad_a conscience_n it_o be_v also_o accept_v of_o god_n so_o then_o minister_n must_v have_v a_o calling_n or_o else_o they_o can_v preach_v for_o say_v paul_n how_o shall_v they_o preach_v except_o they_o be_v send_v rom._n 10.14.15_o no_o man_n ought_v to_o

that_o any_o man_n may_v preach_v that_o will_n without_o any_o special_a call_n and_o they_o allege_v for_o their_o purpose_n that_o the_o house_n of_o stephanus_n addict_v themselves_o to_o the_o
