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.

and all these three did succeed and follow one another in order and when Christ gave out command for the observation of Baptism he did give out three several names viz. the Father the Son and the Holy Ghost in which three names or into these three names was all persons to be baptized Now the threefold Baptisms and their times places operations and effects had relation to and did accord to the witnessing of the threefold names with their times places operations and effects and these threefold Baptisms according to the threefold names in their times places operations and effects all tended to one and the same end viz. To draw the sons of Adam into that which is the choice and cheif good out of all things acted or created which all have but a seeming good in them as shall be made appear in speaking of them in order As for the first of these Baptisms it was but a dark Type under which the first name Father became to be made known to the people in that time under that dispensation and in those days the threefold Name was not so much as heard of but the threefold Name was all included in one Name and that was I am Exod. 3. whereby is to be understood the whole Deity undivided or the perfection of the Godhead undistinguishable in the essentiality of its Being and that nothing was but as it had an appearance of its Being in that which was the substantial Being it self and this I am or undividable Deity or substantial Being in our language we call God and so when God would have himself further known and manifested to the sons of men then formerly he selected out of many some few to know and own him as the onely God so that his Name might be spread abroad in all the world by the great wonders which he would do for them In which time upon the request of Moses God giveth out a more large signification of his name as followeth The Lord God merciful and gracious long-suffering abounding in goodness and truth Keeping mercy for thousands forgiving transgressions and iniquity and sin And will in no wise clear the guilty c. Exod. 34 6 7. Now all these are the Name or names of God beside other several names he putteth out himself by according as time and occasion made way for the declaring of his Name further to the Sons of men and so upon the time of the punishing men for sin he hath the name Justice and from the displeasure he hath at man for sin so is his name anger and as he hath a continuall watching and seeming eye towards those whom he would have to continue in his love he hath the name of Jealous and according to his maryellous workes he hath the name of Wonderfull c. and so it is that according to the present work and present occasion so is his name whether in his love or in his anger So when he would have his name knowne or the Sons of Men to know him by his name and so to owne him for their God he made himselfe knowne to them in outward acts and wondrous workes which he shewed to them in the delivering them out of the bondage of Pharoah and the Aegyptians and so brought them by a strong hand out of Aegypt through the great Sea guiding them by the Angel of his presence in the cloudy pillar c. at which time the first Baptisme had its beginning though not in name yet in its nature and so the Apostle told the Corinthians That he would not have them to be ignorant how that all the fathers passed through the sea and were under the cloud and were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea 1 Cor. 10.1 2. and the reason why he calleth that work by the name of Baptisme is because of the nature of the work and so in the time of the Gospel when Baptisme had the name put upon the act it was derived from the nature of the act and though the formes in these three Baptismes differ in respect of time yet all of them have that name in respect of their natures and the nature of Baptisme in its operation in the spirituall signification is a departing from one thing and closing with another or the dying to one thing and the living to another or the consuming of one thing and the establishing of another in all which suffering is included as you shall see hereafter now the people who underwent the first Baptisme by it they were preserved from the danger of their enemies and in the terrible worke of this Baptisme the people was in great feare of being destroyed by their enemies because they had departed from the service of them but when they had fully undergone this Baptisme viz. through the red Sea and came safe unto the other side then were they glad and beleeved in the Lord who had manifested his name unto them and was then obedient unto Moses and was willing to be led by him expecting shortly to be conveyed into the Land of promise c. and in this respect the Apostle said They were all baptised into Moses viz. they were brought out or made to depart and forsake Aegypt and by the terrible Wonders of God in the manifesting of his name brought through the Sea and made willing to yeeld obedience unto the Word and Commands of God delivered to them by Moses and in further manifesting of his name appeared to them in a terrible manner upon Mount Sinai and gave out the Law to Moses who was to declare the same unto the people and the people was to be obedient unto that Law and unto all other Ceremoniall types that then was to be delivered unto them in all which was contained the first Covenant of Workes and in all the time of the Mosaicall Law or first Covenant of workes there was no other but the name of God to bee knowne amongst men neither any other name by which men were to be saved for then the God-head was whole and undivided into the two other names viz. Son and Holy Ghost as was afterward yet all the vertuall properties of the other two was included in the first name or names of God and was the same then which they be now and in the vertuall communion there was never any division at all but as dispensations had their proper place so God put out himselfe into distinct properties according as hee would have the Sonnes of Men to have a more cleare manifestation of himselfe c. And so it was that from the time that the Fathers were Baptized as is somewhat said before all their succeeding children was to be taught the knowledge of the wonderous work which he hath done where he first made his name knowne to them and was to owne no other name but the name of that God and so taught all his Lawes and precepts to them that they should walke in obedience to the
