A40523 The fall of a great visible idol by the coming of the invisible povver, and substance In this day and time of the lambs war which is come. Wherein Christ the true light is exalted at the right hand of God, who dwells and walkes in his people which are his temple. Which doth bring down the boasting baptists that hath highly exalted themselves upon the high and dark mountains of their own imaginations, as may be known by their own principles which are herein answered with something to the simple hearted that are among them, concerning water baptism and breaking of outward bread, which these baptists hath so much idolized in the night. From a true friend unto all that loves truth in the inward parts, in true love and pitty unto the lost sheep, that they may be of the house of Israel. Joseph Fuce. Fuce, Joseph. 1659 (1659) Wing F2257A; ESTC R221567 32,174 39

to_o ephesus_n and_o find_v certain_a disciple_n he_o say_v unto_o they_o have_v you_o receive_v the_o holy_a ghost_n since_o you_o believe_v and_o they_o say_v unto_o he_o we_o have_v not_o so_o

there_o see_v act_n 8._o 38._o so_o it_o be_v plain_a there_o be_v a_o distinction_n and_o great_a difference_n between_o water_n baptism_n and_o the_o baptism_n of_o the_o spirit_n or_o in_o the_o

john_n ministration_n and_o paul_n who_o be_v not_o behind_o the_o very_o chief_a apostle_n for_o he_o say_v he_o labour_v more_o than_o they_o all_o yet_o not_o i_o say_v he_o but_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n which_o be_v in_o he_o and_o he_o do_v baptise_v crispus_n and_o gain_n and_o also_o the_o household_n of_o stephanus_n he_o baptize_v but_o yet_o he_o thank_v god_n he_o baptize_v no_o

and_o drink_n which_o christ_n give_v unto_o his_o disciple_n be_v his_o body_n and_o blood_n according_a to_o the_o scripture_n than_o they_o wonder_v and_o some_o of_o they_o have_v say_v how_o

52_o flesh_n then_o the_o jew_n strive_v among_o themselves_o say_v how_o can_v this_o man_n give_v we_o his_o flesh_n to_o eat_v then_o jesus_n say_v unto_o they_o very_o very_o i_o say_v unto_o

unto_o the_o jew_n and_o also_o to_o the_o disciple_n that_o look_v without_o at_o the_o flesh_n and_o blood_n that_o be_v visible_a insomuch_o that_o many_o be_v offend_v and_o go_v back_o and_o

give_v his_o body_n and_o blood_n and_o life_n unto_o his_o disciple_n as_o he_o say_v in_o matth._n 26._o for_o he_o have_v life_n in_o himself_o to_o give_v 26._o john_n 5._o 26._o unto_o who_o he_o
