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. Imprimatur Ja. Cranford.	Bakewell, Thomas, b. 1618 or 19.	1644 (1644)	Wing B530; Thomason E51_20; ESTC R209932	98,225	89

i_o know_v not_o well_o but_o i_o suppose_v he_o to_o be_v one_o of_o the_o child_n of_o the_o old_a mouse-catcher_n who_o some_o year_n ago_o cry_v mousetrap_n but_o when_o mouse_n grow_v scarce_o

it_o to_o cut_v off_o man_n which_o be_v of_o two_o fort_n either_o the_o principal_a member_n of_o the_o body_n politic_a or_o else_o the_o live_a member_n of_o the_o mystical_a body_n of_o christ_n as_o he_o call_v they_o visible_a saint_n of_o the_o spiritual_a kingdom_n the_o ground_n on_o which_o he_o will_v build_v these_o principle_n be_v mat._n 18.8.9_o if_o thy_o hand_n or_o thy_o soot_n

say_v he_o be_v some_o principal_a member_n of_o the_o body_n politic_a as_o the_o l._n keeper_n which_o if_o he_o offend_v be_v a_o hand_n of_o the_o body_n politic_a the_o rest_n of_o the_o member_n must_v cut_v he_o off_o but_o he_o dare_v not_o to_o stay_v to_o tell_v we_o what_o it_o be_v that_o will_v offend_v he_o lest_o he_o be_v take_v and_o hang_v himself_o for_o we_o know_v very_o well_o what_o it_o be_v that_o offend_v anabaptist_n first_o his_o very_o be_v a_o magistrate_n offend_v they_o and_o for_o this_o offence_n nut_n will_v cut_v he_o off_o if_o he_o dare_v although_o such_o a_o member_n be_v saithfull_a both_o to_o the_o king_n and_o kingdom_n again_o many_o other_o thing_n offend_v they_o as_o the_o manntain_v war_n in_o our_o own_o defence_n be_v cause_n enough_o for_o

that_o magistrate_n give_v to_o anabaptist_n for_o which_o this_o nut_n think_v he_o may_v cut_v they_o off_o be_v it_o not_o that_o he_o fear_v the_o nutcracker_n at_o paddington_n well_o nut_n be_v go_v in_o all_o haste_n from_o the_o member_n of_o the_o political_a body_n to_o the_o member_n of_o the_o mystical_a body_n of_o christ_n and_o if_o they_o offend_v the_o rest_n must_v cut_v they_o off_o neither_o in_o this_o do_v he_o show_v what_o it_o be_v that_o will_v offend_v he_o but_o it_o seem_v for_o any_o offence_n they_o must_v be_v cut_v off_o for_o he_o have_v no_o heal_a

give_v you_o a_o further_a taste_n of_o the_o devilish_a kernel_n that_o be_v in_o it_o he_o say_v that_o our_o saviour_n speak_v of_o a_o spiritual_a kingdom_n or_o body_n or_o church_n of_o visible_a saint_n but_o must_v we_o believe_v this_o nut_n when_o he_o say_v that_o a_o spiritual_a member_n of_o christ_n body_n must_v be_v cut_v off_o in_o this_o manner_n that_o here_o christ_n speak_v of_o he_o will_v have_v it_o to_o be_v mean_v by_o excommunication_n but_o christ_n say_v if_o they_o be_v not_o cut_v off_o the_o whole_a body_n shall_v be_v cast_v into_o everlasting_a fire_n and_o again_o if_o they_o be_v not_o cut_v off_o thou_o can_v not_o enter_v into_o life_n then_o suppose_v a_o member_n of_o christ_n shall_v offend_v thou_o can_v not_o thou_o be_v save_v unless_o he_o be_v damn_v again_o to_o take_v thy_o own_o exposition_n suppose_v this_o offend_a member_n shall_v not_o be_v cut_v off_o by_o excommunication_n must_v all_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o

that_o offend_v thou_o alone_o and_o do_v not_o offend_v the_o rest_n must_v that_o i_o say_v be_v cut_v off_o or_o else_o thou_o and_o all_o the_o rest_n must_v of_o necessity_n to_o hell_n fire_n but_o in_o this_o case_n what_o will_v thou_o do_v such_o a_o member_n offend_v thou_o and_o no_o body_n else_o and_o unless_o thou_o cut_v he_o off_o all_o must_v to_o the_o devil_n neither_o can_v thou_o cut_v he_o off_o because_o all_o the_o rest_n be_v against_o thou_o but_o be_v thy_o salvation_n so_o pine_v upon_o other_o man_n back_n that_o if_o but_o one_o fail_n and_o be_v not_o speedy_o cut_v off_o all_o the_o anabaptist_n must_v be_v cast_v into_o hell_n fire_n this_o kernel_n may_v please_v the_o devil_n palate_n when_o he_o go_v a_o nutting_n but_o i_o think_v no_o rational_a man_n can_v like_v the_o taste_n of_o it_o again_o thou_o do_v not_o declare_v what_o it_o be_v that_o will_v offend_v thou_o so_o that_o i_o suppose_v if_o christ_n himself_o be_v here_o on_o earth_n thou_o will_v be_v offend_v at_o he_o as_o some_o other_o be_v for_o many_o be_v offend_v at_o he_o they_o esteem_v he_o as_o a_o rock_n of_o offence_n rom._n 9.32.33_o again_o thou_o do_v confess_v
