A77726	An answer, or confutation of divers errors broached, and maintained by the seven churches of Anabaptists contained in those articles of their confession of faith propounded to the Parliament, and other grosse opinions held by them against the cleare light of the gospell. By Thomas Bakewell. Imprimatur John Downham.	Bakewell, Thomas, b. 1618 or 19.	1646 (1646)	Wing B526; Thomason E336_10; ESTC R200810	49,330	53

therefore_o he_o labour_v to_o strengthen_v the_o faith_n in_o that_o doctrine_n only_o luke_n 24.37_o 39_o john_n 20.27_o and_o this_o doctrine_n of_o the_o resurrection_n be_v confirm_v all_o

as_o well_o then_o command_v they_o to_o go_v and_o offer_v sacrifice_n as_o moses_n have_v command_v mat._n 8.4_o i_o answer_v although_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o beast_n do_v end_n at_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n yet_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o prayer_n and_o praise_n be_v not_o then_o to_o end_v for_o praise_n and_o thanksgiving_n must_v be_v continual_o in_o heaven_n heb._n 13.15_o and_o that_o of_o those_o leper_n be_v such_o a_o sacrifice_n nine_o of_o they_o go_v not_o at_o all_o and_o the_o ten_o return_v to_o christ_n and_o give_v he_o thanks_o and_o it_o be_v approve_v of_o he_o as_o

may_v still_o be_v a_o sweet_a incense_n psal_n 141.1_o but_o they_o say_v when_o christ_n teach_v they_o thus_o to_o pray_v the_o law_n be_v in_o its_o full_a strength_n but_o now_o christ_n have_v put_v a_o end_n to_o the_o law_n which_o be_v the_o strength_n of_o sin_n 1_o cor._n 15.56_o and_o the_o law_n be_v end_v sin_n also_o be_v end_v and_o needs_o no_o prayer_n for_o the_o pardon_n of_o

prayer_n but_o then_o they_o say_v the_o ungodly_a may_v not_o say_v this_o prayer_n of_o christ_n as_o a_o prayer_n because_o they_o can_v call_v god_n father_n i_o answer_v although_o they_o be_v none_o of_o his_o child_n by_o grace_n and_o adoption_n yet_o they_o be_v his_o child_n by_o creation_n thus_o adam_n be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n luke_n 3.38_o and_o so_o god_n be_v the_o father_n of_o all_o thing_n job_n 38.28_o and_o if_o carnal_a man_n do_v pray_v they_o may_v obtain_v some_o temporal_a thing_n as_o well_o as_o ahab_n do_v by_o fast_v 1_o king_n 21.29_o so_o god_n hear_v all_o mortal_a creature_n psal_n 104.21.145.15.147_o 9_o then_o they_o say_v carnal_a man_n ought_v not_o to_o say_v the_o first_o petition_n praise_v be_v thy_o name_n for_o they_o can_v do_v it_o

every_o creature_n that_o have_v breath_n be_v command_v to_o praise_v the_o lord_n psal_n 150.6_o then_o they_o say_v none_o can_v give_v god_n thanks_o but_o they_o that_o have_v receive_v

have_v receive_v of_o he_o something_o then_o let_v all_o praise_v he_o but_o they_o say_v for_o carnal_a man_n to_o pray_v thy_o kingdom_n come_v thy_o will_n be_v do_v on_o earth_n as_o it_o be_v in_o heaven_n be_v to_o pray_v for_o their_o destruction_n but_o how_o can_v that_o be_v when_o they_o pray_v that_o the_o will_n of_o christ_n be_v do_v hy_z man_n on_o earth_n as_o saint_n and_o

that_o carnal_a man_n may_v not_o say_v give_v we_o this_o day_n our_o daily_a bread_n for_o that_o be_v to_o be_v understand_v the_o word_n of_o god_n which_o the_o saint_n have_v have_v and_o

if_o he_o will_v not_o pray_v for_o a_o blessing_n upon_o it_o then_o they_o say_v here_o be_v to_o be_v understand_v that_o christ_n teach_v they_o to_o pray_v for_o his_o spirit_n but_o i_o say_v again_o how_o much_o of_o his_o spirit_n will_v suffice_v for_o a_o day_n and_o i_o hope_v they_o will_v not_o so_o blaspheme_v the_o eternal_a spirit_n of_o god_n as_o to_o say_v it_o consume_v in_o the_o use_n of_o it_o no_o it_o be_v a_o well_o of_o live_a water_n spring_v up_o unto_o eternal_a life_n john_n 4_o 14._o then_o this_o petition_n be_v for_o carnal_a thing_n and_o not_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n carnal_a man_n may_v pray_v for_o they_o and_o obtain_v they_o then_o they_o say_v if_o carnal_a man_n shall_v say_v forgive_v we_o as_o we_o forgive_v they_o that_o trespass_n

both_o here_o and_o also_o hereafter_o and_o beside_o the_o use_v well_o of_o these_o gift_n in_o seek_v they_o by_o prayer_n and_o give_v god_n thanks_o for_o they_o be_v god_n way_n to_o obtain_v better_a mercy_n as_o some_o in_o ask_v temporal_a thing_n by_o that_o prayer_n obtain_v spiritual_a mercy_n mat._n 9.2_o then_o they_o say_v carnal_a man_n must_v not_o say_v lead_v we_o not_o into_o

and_o use_v the_o mean_n to_o escape_v they_o then_o they_o say_v carnal_a man_n be_v temptation_n itself_o but_o i_o say_v how_o can_v that_o be_v for_o as_o they_o be_v god_n creature_n they_o be_v good_a and_o not_o to_o be_v so_o call_v and_o it_o be_v but_o their_o word_n and_o deed_n that_o tempt_v for_o their_o thought_n can_v neither_o be_v it_o all_o their_o word_n and_o deed_n but_o some_o of_o they_o only_o and_o they_o have_v a_o natural_a conscience_n to_o oppose_v those_o word_n and_o deed_n that_o be_v tempt_v to_o other_o and_o why_o may_v they_o not_o pray_v against_o they_o than_o we_o ought_v not_o to_o discourage_v any_o but_o rather_o teach_v

praise_v psal_n 40.16_o this_o do_v allow_v we_o to_o use_v the_o same_o word_n or_o the_o same_o for_o substance_n in_o other_o word_n so_o here_o the_o lord_n prayer_n may_v be_v use_v as_o the_o same_o for_o substance_n and_o both_o way_n his_o command_n be_v fulfil_v but_o they_o stand_v much_o upon_o this_o word_n when_o you_o pray_v as_o if_o it_o be_v always_o to_o be_v use_v when_o we_o pray_v but_o they_o be_v mistake_v for_o say_v christ_n when_o thou_o make_v a_o feast_n call_v not_o thy_o friend_n and_o when_o thou_o make_v a_o feast_n call_v the_o poor_a and_o maim_v luke_n 12.12_o 13._o but_o do_v this_o tie_v we_o never_o to_o feast_v our_o friend_n and_o always_o to_o feast_v the_o poor_a and_o the_o maim_a when_o the_o devil_n be_v cast_v out_o he_o say_v i_o will_v

another_o but_o do_v they_o return_v if_o not_o than_o this_o word_n when_o you_o pray_v do_v extend_v itself_o to_o all_o our_o prayer_n but_o then_o they_o say_v if_o we_o be_v tie_v to_o these_o
