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.

it_o into_o the_o thing_n signify_v you_o shall_v all_o perish_v in_o your_o form_n and_o your_o form_n itself_o shall_v perish_v as_o shall_v all_o other_o form_n of_o what_o kind_n soever_o and_o so_o shall_v all_o thing_n act_v ordain_v or_o create_v all_o shall_v perish_v for_o they_o be_v begin_v with_o time_n and_o in_o time_n and_o time_n itself_o shall_v wear_v they_o out_o and_o time_n itself_o shall_v perish_v also_o then_o in_o what_o or_o where_o shall_v the_o spirit_n of_o man_n be_v happy_a and_o find_v rest_n therefore_o i_o say_v woe_n to_o those_o soul_n who_o live_v in_o

at_o for_o my_o intention_n be_v not_o to_o meddle_v with_o thing_n too_o hard_o for_o your_o understanding_n but_o rather_o condescend_v to_o your_o own_o capacity_n and_o speak_v a_o word_n with_o

and_o that_o be_v baptism_n i_o know_v what_o ground_n you_o have_v for_o this_o act_n viz._n from_o example_n of_o the_o primitive_a time_n as_o also_o in_o obedience_n to_o the_o command_n of_o christ_n it_o be_v true_a indeed_o christ_n give_v out_o such_o a_o command_n to_o his_o disciple_n as_o he_o do_v for_o the_o observe_n of_o the_o type_n institute_v at_o his_o last_o supper_n of_o which_o i_o have_v speak_v something_o former_o but_o my_o friend_n do_v you_o know_v what_o be_v the_o mind_n of_o christ_n in_o give_v out_o command_v for_o the_o observation_n if_o you_o do_v say_v
