In chap. 6 is shewed How that for the Sins of the Churches who began to revolt from the Faith once given to the Saints which they were commanded to a contend for but neglecting their b Watch herein Hypocrites crept in among them deluding them by their c fair Speeches so deceiving the hearts of the simple they soon embraced the Doctrine of Antichrist for many Opposers of the Truth were in those days And so the Churches fell more and more from the Truth as was clearly signified by the opening of the Seals Rev. 6. and sounding of the Trumpets Rev. 8. So that the Sun wherewith the Church was cloathed became black as d Sackcloth of Hair the Moon bloody the Stars the Ministers fell from the heavenly Doctrines of Faith to e earthly things like unto the Doctrine of these times that Men speak evil of those things they cannot comprehend by f corrupt Nature So that the heavenly State of the Church was rolled up together as a g Scroll That as God of old delivered his Church for like sins into the hands of the old Babylonians who destroyed both Temple and City and killed many and would not suffer their Bodies to be put in the h Grave Even so did the Lord deliver the Christians into the hands of the Spiritual Babylon the Romish Harlot who like old Babylon killed many of God's Servants and would not suffer their Bodies to be put in the i Grave Notwithstanding though the Beast was said in a sense to overcome k he Saints yet he could not for they were with Christ in this War the called chosen and faithful l all the time of the thousand Years of the Beasts Reign and would not worship the Beast nor his Image neither had received his Mark in their Foreheads by openly yielding unto his Canons nor secretly in their Hands by paying his Priests their duties as they call them but by Falth keeping the Commands of God they lived and m reigned with Christ a thousand years on n Earth and this was in the time of the Beast's Reign else the Praise given them by God's Spirit had not been properly belonging unto them of not worshipping the Beast So that they are under a great Mistake that have taught from Rev. 20.4 that the Saints have not yet reigned with Christ on Earth and how many have been deceived in this Point by them when the Saints Reign on Earth is not after an earthly manner as in pag. 18. is shewed but over Sin the World and the Devil and this is the Saints Victory even their Faith So saith Paul I have fought the good Fight I have finished my Course I have kept the Faith henceforth there is laid up for me a Crown not of Gold as some expect on Earth but of Righteousness and Glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ a Jude v. 3. b 1 Cor. 16.13 c Rom. 16.18 d Rev. 6 12. e Phil. 3.19 f Jude 10.

As God of old in Wrath remembred mercy to his ancient Church captivated in Babylon signified to Ezekiel there by the little Book given him to a eat that he must prophesie again to the dry b Bones to call them to Repentance and to return and build the Temple as was further signified to Zachary by a measuring c Line shewed him that Jerusalem should be built and the Temple in it and God's Worship restored as was accomplished in the days of Nehemiah Ezra Zachary and Haggai As their Books do shew at large Even so did the Lord in Wrath remember Mercy to his Church captivated by the spiritual Babylon Therefore by a like Sign as was shewed to Ezekiel so to John that he must eat the little d Book signifying how the Lord after a thousand years of the Beasts Reign would raise up his faithful Servants and deliver his Captives as was fulfilled in the end of the sixth Seal Rev. 7. and the beginning of the seventh with a measure of John's Spirit to call his Elect out of the Spiritual e Babylon the Romish Church the great City which reigned over the Kings of the Earth whose f City was so large as she reigned over all People Kindreds Tongues and Nations where her Canons and Orders were obeyed So that to the Elect among these must the Eaters of the little Book prophesy as Ezekiel did to the dry Bones that lay dead in the g Antichristian Errors So that the rest of the dead lived not again h since their Fall in Adam and their own Trespasses and Sins since comitted in spiritual i Fornication with the Romish Harlot until the thousand years Reign of the Beast was ended which time of her Reign to wit her Eclesiastical Estate in making Laws over Mens Consciences began about the year of our Lord 313 or 315. and made not an end of making Laws till about the year 1564. The Councel of Trent was the last wherein the Beast perceiving that the Lord began to raise up his Servants to shew all Nations deluded by her k Sorceries the Judgment of the great Whore who now did gather together her Armies of m Locusts in this last Councel but all in vain as was said to Ezekiel when God's time was come to deliver his People out of old Babylon The Time is at hand and the n Effect of every Vision So was it in like sence said to John There shall be Time no o longer But in the dayes of the Voice of the seventh Angel when he shall begin to sound the Mysteries of God shall be finished as he hath declared to his Servants the Prophets So that it appeareth the last great Mystery in the Prophets before Christ's coming to Judgment was to raise up all his Elect out of the Graves of Sin as is this last restoring of his Church out of the spiritual Babylon so that from the time the Kingdom of Israel was divided under p Rehoboam there was no Mystery more to be observed from that Estate as it is written Behold Israel 1 Cor. 10.18 but in their Captivity and Return out of the same Which second Temple building answered this second Restauration as aforesaid in these last days A Point worth observing a Ezek. 3.3 b Ezek. 3.7 c Rev. 18.4 f Rev. 17.18 g Eph. 2.1 2. h Rev. 20.5 i Rev. 17.2 k Rev. 18.23 l Rev. 17.1 m Rev. 9.3 n Ezek. 12.22 o Rev. 10.6 p 1 Kin. 11.11 12 13. 4. The Time when the seventh Angel began to sound or the Eaters of the little Book began to prophesy as aforesaid was about the year of our Lord 1541. To mention one one or two

one of those extraordinary Officers given for a time for the work of the Ministry this Office he had when he baptized Moreover he was authorized expresly and furnished with gifts of working Miracles Act. 8.13 That Ananias was a private Man as some suppose cannot be proved for he was by the Lord call'd and sent and enabled to work Miracles as Acts 9.17 18. Timothy also a Disciple when he was chosen and taken of Paul to assist him is not to be accounted a private man but an Evangelist 2 Tim. 4.5 sent and authorized by the Lord. Moreover if it were granted that he was a private man yet his action done by express command from God might not be followed by other private men any more than the action of Gideon in offering Sacrifice which belonged only to the Tribe of Levi might be followed by others of his Brethren of the Tribe of Manasses Judg. 6.15 25 26. That any private Man of Cyprus or Cyrene administred Baptism or the Lords Supper cannot be proved As for Apollos he cannot be accounted a private Man whom Paul joyned with himself nor Cephas a Planter and Minister whom the Corinthians followed as one of their chief Teachers 1 Cor. 1.12 2.6 4.6 To conclude the end of all As it appeareth by the Scriptures that God hath in all Ages permitted the Dispensation of the Sacraments or visible Seals of God's Covenant to the Ministers of the Word chosen and set apart for that purpose and not to all or any other They therefore that shall teach or preach or practise any otherwise shall walk in the sin of Jeroboam the Son of Nebat who sinned and made Israel to sin in whose days whosoever would consecrate himself might execute the Priests Office in the high places which thing turned to sin to root out Jeroboam's House from the face of the Earth 1 Kings 13.33 34. These things being written for all Christians learning Rom. 15.4 that none may presume out of a good intent as Vzza did to break God's Order lest God's Wrath break out against them in this life as it did upon Vzza they may hear the Sentence of Christ notwithstanding their preaching and boasting what Works they have done in his Name saying unto them I never knew you Depart from me ye workers of Iniquity Isa 1.12 13. Mat. 7.23 Forasmuch then as in these latter days we are taught by Christ that there shall be many saying Loe here and loe there is Christ but he commandeth us not to go after them because they follow not the Lamb on Mount Sion in his holy Order in the practice of his holy Ordinances Therefore for our better understanding in order to the performance of this Ordinance in the Church to wit Water-Baptism we may observe three things 1. The End wherefore it was ordained 2. What giveth persons right unto it 3. The Manner how it ought to be performed To the First Baptism of Water was ordained of God to manifest Christ to Israel John 1.31 And also it was a Sign of the Remission of Sins by the Blood of Christ to all those the Promises in the Gospel belong unto Acts 2.39 Secondly That which giveth any right to partake of the Sign or visible Seal of the Covenant of the Gospel is not by any Act of Man but by the free Grace and Love of God in Christ without any desert of ours to all those he pleased to accept into the Covenant of the Gospel to all such it is written that he will be merciful unto their unrighteousness and their sins and iniquities will he remember no more Heb. 8.12 Therefore as the Lord did ever accept into his Covenant the Fathers with their Children so have both equally the Promises belonging to them of the Pardon of their sins therefore have they by virtue of the Covenant a right to the Sign or visible Seal of the pardon of their sins even Baptism of Water and hereupon as the believing Parents with their Infants were accepted into God's Covenant therefore did the Apostles baptize Believers with their houshold which were their Children as anon shall be proved Moreover there is no Act of Man that can give him right to any Ordinance of God but only God's Mercy in Christ manifested in the Covenant of the Gospel from the days of Adam But if it be the pleasure of God as it was in all Ages to accept the Children with the Parents into the Covenant of Grace and therefore the Benefit of the Covenant ever belonged to them to wit the Seal of Faith with them and never forbidden the same only the outward Sign or Seal changed from Circumcision to Water-Baptism How dare any Man then deny the Infants of the Covenant the Sign of the Remission of their Sins which right they enjoy by the Covenant seeing they were with their Parents of old a holy even so they are b now a chosen Generation and holy Nation with them so c now d Olive Plants Buds or young e Branches in the Vice CHRIST So are Believers the Blessed of the Lord and their f Off-spring or Buds with them the Lord's g Heritage and of the Kingdom of God though vessels of small h quantity yet with their Parents are they a part of the Glory of Christ's House or Kingdom having faith in the bud else could they not i hope in God on their Mothers breasts which in due time was made manifest in their Childhood crying in the Temple k Hosanna to the Son of David that is O Lord save to the amazement of the carnal Professors then and also now who are offended at them so as they account the Children of Believers in the same estate with the Children of Turks and Pagans contrary to the Scriptures that ever accounted the Children of the Church of God holy sanctified from the Womb when as the Children of Unbelievers are unclean estranged from the Womb accounted l Liars from the birth Children of m Wrath in one estate with the World of n ungodly that perished in the Flood and their Spirits with their Parents are said to be in Prison as the Children of the Sodomites being accounted o unrighteous with their Parents suffered likewise with them the vengeance of eternal Fire But the Children of the Members of the Church of God Christ p blessed with his spiritual blessing towit the q Remission of their Sins as all in God's Covenant have the equal and alike benefit of being born in Covenant are said to be the Lords Children r baptized by one Spirit with their Parents in to Christ's Mystical Body so have they his Spirit else could they not be s Christ's or holy with their Parents a holy Nation So that we may conclude with the Apostle seeing these have received the t Spirit as well as we who shall forbid water that they should not be baptized a Ezra 9.2 b 1 Cor. 7.14 c 1 Pet. 2.9 Exod. 19.6 d Psal 128.3 e John 15.4 Luke 18.16 f Esay 65.23 g Psal
