A47167	A refutation of three opposers of truth by plain evidence of the holy Scripture, viz. I. Of Pardon Tillinghast, who pleadeth for water-baptism, its being a Gospel-precept, and opposeth Christ within, as a false Christ. To which is added, something concerning the Supper, &c. II. Of B. Keech, in his book called, A tutor for children, where he disputeth against the sufficiency of the light within, in order of salvation; and calleth Christ in the heart, a false Christ in the secret chamber. II. Of Cotton Mather, who in his appendix to his book, called, Memorable providences, relating to witchcrafts, &c. doth so weakly defend his father Increase Mather from being justly chargeable with abusing the honest people called Quakers, that he doth the more lay open his fathers nakedness; and beside the abuses and injuries that his father had cast upon that people, C. Mather, the son, addeth new abuses of his own. And a few words of a letter to John Cotton, called a minister, at Plymouth in New England. By George Keith.

water_n baptism_n of_o you_o be_v neither_o john_n nor_o the_o same_o that_o some_o of_o christ_n disciple_n and_o apostle_n administer_v for_o some_o time_n see_v you_o can_v show_v no_o line_n of_o

the_o light_n in_o every_o man_n teach_v he_o that_o god_n be_v the_o best_a the_o high_a and_o chief_a be_v therefore_o it_o do_v clear_o follow_v that_o the_o light_n in_o man_n teach_v they_o that_o god_n be_v a_o gracious_a god_n and_o one_o that_o pardon_v iniquity_n otherwise_o he_o can_v not_o be_v understand_v to_o be_v the_o best_a be_v for_o see_v among_o the_o child_n of_o man_n many_o man_n have_v that_o goodness_n that_o incline_v they_o to_o forgive_v the_o great_a trespass_n upon_o their_o repentance_n and_o ask_v forgiveness_n therefore_o god_n himself_o be_v infinite_o

to_o be_v a_o schoolmaster_n to_o lead_v unto_o christ_n and_o therefore_o together_o with_o the_o law_n of_o the_o first_o covenant_n he_o give_v they_o the_o levitical_a law_n of_o sacrifice_n and_o

your_o manner_n of_o eat_v about_o the_o quantity_n of_o a_o nut_n in_o bread_n and_o a_o spoonful_n one_o or_o two_o in_o wine_n we_o find_v no_o where_o in_o all_o the_o new_a testament_n and_o that_o you_o give_v the_o cup_n but_o once_o and_o christ_n give_v it_o twice_o as_o i_o have_v show_v in_o my_o late_a book_n this_o you_o can_v give_v no_o account_n of_o and_o thou_o have_v not_o

of_o god_n have_v leave_v many_o man_n and_o do_v no_o more_o invite_v and_o call_v they_o to_o repentance_n the_o day_n of_o their_o visitation_n be_v over_o 4_o thly_a thou_o do_v insinuate_v as_o
