VVith a description of the true marks and characters thereof; which being manifested and declared, is the true and proper ground of visible communion, in which the sons or children of God are to receive and own one another as brethren, although they differ (for want of light) in some particular ordinances.

whatsoever_o grace_n it_o be_v why_o it_o may_v be_v see_v that_o it_o do_v evident_o appear_v from_o the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n that_o it_o be_v the_o proceed_v and_o product_v of_o the_o

7.16_o or_o any_o other_o grace_n proceed_v from_o any_o thing_n whatsoever_o beside_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n thus_o i_o have_v give_v some_o hint_n of_o the_o new_a creature_n and_o as_o it_o be_v describe_v the_o image_n and_o form_n of_o the_o new_a man_n which_o be_v beget_v and_o bear_v of_o god_n in_o the_o new_a birth_n and_o so_o i_o come_v to_o the_o three_o particular_a namely_o that_o true_a faith_n in_o the_o name_n of_o jesus_n christ_n creature_n true_a faith_n be_v a_o certain_a mark_n of_o the_o new_a creature_n be_v a_o infallible_a character_n both_o of_o the_o new_a birth_n and_o new_a creature_n and_o in_o the_o handle_n of_o this_o particular_a namely_o to_o show_v the_o true_a character_n of_o sonship_n or_o of_o the_o new_a birth_n i_o may_v make_v use_n of_o all_o the_o grace_n of_o the_o spirit_n which_o be_v beget_v and_o bear_v in_o a_o soul_n in_o this_o new_a birth_n but_o i_o only_a name_n faith_n or_o believe_a because_o it_o be_v only_o mention_v in_o

for_o the_o proof_n of_o the_o thing_n in_o hand_n namely_o that_o true_a faith_n be_v a_o character_n of_o sonship_n and_o of_o the_o new_a birth_n be_v plain_o hold_v forth_o in_o the_o word_n of_o the_o text_n as_o may_v clear_o appear_v by_o propose_v of_o this_o query_n and_o that_o be_v this_o querie_n by_o what_o mark_n or_o character_n may_v we_o come_v to_o know_v a_o true_a son_n of_o god_n or_o one_o that_o be_v bear_v in_o the_o new_a birth_n why_o the_o text_n give_v this_o answer_n that_o those_o that_o be_v make_v the_o son_n of_o god_n be_v they_o that_o believe_v in_o his_o name_n so_o that_o wheresoever_o we_o find_v true_a faith_n in_o any_o man_n or_o woman_n we_o may_v be_v confident_a that_o man_n or_o woman_n be_v a_o child_n of_o god_n second_o the_o text_n tell_v we_o that_o true_a faith_n and_o believe_a be_v a_o certain_a character_n of_o the_o new_a birth_n as_o appear_v in_o these_o word_n they_o that_o believe_v in_o his_o name_n be_v those_o which_o be_v bear_v of_o god_n and_o the_o apostle_n john_n do_v full_o confirm_v the_o truth_n of_o this_o in_o the_o first_o of_o john_n 5.1_o whosoever_o believe_v that_o jesus_n be_v the_o christ_n be_v bear_v of_o god_n whether_o it_o be_v male_a or_o female_a 28._o col._n 3.11_o gal._n 3.26_o compare_v with_o 28._o jew_n or_o gentile_n bond_n or_o free_a high_a or_o low_o rich_a or_o poor_a and_o moreover_o this_o truth_n may_v be_v prove_v by_o this_o argument_n namely_o that_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o lord_n in_o this_o new_a birth_n be_v the_o root_n and_o tree_n from_o whence_o faith_n spring_v and_o upon_o which_o it_o grow_v as_o have_v be_v already_o prove_v and_o christ_n tell_v we_o in_o luk._n 6.44_o that_o every_o tree_n be_v know_v by_o his_o fruit_n and_o that_o for_o this_o reason_n that_o a_o good_a tree_n can_v bring_v forth_o corrupt_a fruit_n neither_o can_v a_o corrupt_a tree_n bring_v forth_o good_a fruit_n so_o in_o like_a manner_n the_o corrupt_a natural_a birth_n can_v bring_v forth_o the_o spiritual_a new_a man_n nor_o the_o spiritual_a new_a birth_n bring_v forth_o the_o corrupt_a old_a man_n 3.6_o john_n 3.6_o but_o that_o which_o be_v bear_v of_o the_o flesh_n be_v flesh_n and_o that_o which_o be_v bear_v of_o the_o spirit_n be_v spirit_n so_o that_o wheresoever_o we_o find_v faith_n which_o be_v a_o spiritual_a grace_n it_o be_v a_o certain_a character_n that_o there_o be_v the_o spiritual_a new_a birth_n from_o whence_o it_o spring_v now_o have_v prove_v that_o true_a faith_n and_o belief_n on_o the_o name_n of_o jesus_n christ_n be_v a_o true_a mark_n and_o character_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o of_o the_o new_a birth_n i_o may_v take_v occasion_n to_o show_v what_o be_v to_o be_v understand_v by_o the_o name_n of_o christ_n and_o second_o what_o it_o be_v to_o believe_v one_o his_o name_n but_o i_o shall_v not_o enlarge_v upon_o this_o but_o rather_o come_v to_o show_v of_o what_o use_v the_o doctrine_n as_o it_o have_v be_v open_v may_v be_v to_o all_o the_o people_n of_o god_n only_o in_o a_o few_o word_n brief_o to_o give_v you_o my_o understanding_n cocern_v the_o same_o and_o christ_n what_o be_v to_o be_v

out_o of_o which_o the_o text_n be_v take_v we_o shall_v find_v that_o he_o be_v call_v the_o word_n which_o name_n or_o title_n do_v include_v his_o eternal_a power_n and_o godhead_n as_o in_o the_o

be_v fear_v be_v too_o much_o like_o the_o case_n of_o the_o pharisee_n in_o mark_n 7.5_o who_o be_v offend_v at_o the_o disciple_n of_o christ_n for_o eat_v of_o meat_n with_o unwasnen_n hand_n for_o which_o christ_n sharp_o reprove_v they_o in_o the_o 6_o verse_n not_o but_o that_o it_o be_v lawful_a to_o wash_v before_o they_o eat_v but_o this_o be_v their_o evil_n in_o that_o they_o go_v about_o to_o limit_n and_o bind_v the_o disciple_n by_o a_o tradition_n of_o man_n which_o god_n never_o bind_v they_o to_o why_o so_o i_o can_v wish_v that_o it_o can_v not_o be_v true_o say_v of_o some_o in_o these_o day_n in_o another_o case_n as_o namely_o those_o that_o by_o no_o mean_n will_v admit_v of_o any_o person_n into_o communion_n &_o fellowship_n with_o they_o though_o never_o so_o holy_a and_o precious_a before_o they_o be_v baptize_v not_o but_o that_o it_o be_v lawful_a for_o person_n to_o be_v baptize_v before_o but_o to_o limit_v and_o bind_v up_o person_n though_o never_o so_o gracious_a from_o communion_n till_o they_o be_v baptize_v be_v a_o tradition_n of_o man_n so_o that_o as_o the_o pharisee_n will_v bind_v the_o disciple_n from_o eat_v till_o they_o have_v

they_o christ_n viz_o with_o they_o which_o they_o be_v enlighten_v in_o until_o they_o be_v baptize_v but_o say_v christ_n full_a well_o you_o reject_v the_o command_n of_o god_n that_o you_o may_v

it_o may_v be_v object_v and_o say_v ob._n ob._n that_o baptism_n be_v the_o first_o ordinance_n to_o be_v practise_v next_o after_o faith_n and_o therefore_o the_o scripture_n say_v believe_v and_o

pray_v nor_o hear_v nor_o read_v after_o believe_v till_o he_o be_v baptize_v but_o second_o i_o answer_v that_o in_o my_o understanding_n ans_fw-fr 2_o ans_fw-fr that_o be_v the_o first_o ordinance_n to_o i_o which_o i_o know_v first_o and_o whatsoever_o ordinance_n the_o lord_n be_v please_v by_o his_o spirit_n to_o inlighten_v a_o soul_n first_o in_o why_o in_o the_o practice_n of_o that_o ordinance_n that_o soul_n ought_v to_o walk_v according_a to_o what_o he_o have_v receive_v and_o not_o to_o neglect_v his_o duty_n in_o what_o he_o do_v know_v and_o be_v persuade_v of_o because_o he_o do_v not_o know_v all_o for_o in_o my_o understanding_n it_o be_v a_o very_a dangerous_a principle_n that_o because_o a_o soul_n do_v not_o know_v every_o thing_n he_o must_v therefore_o practise_v nothing_o but_o for_o further_a answer_v of_o objection_n of_o this_o kind_n i_o shall_v refer_v the_o reader_n to_o the_o storehouse_n publish_v by_o mr_n jesse_n as_o aforesaid_a thus_o

a_o conclusion_n use_v if_o this_o be_v so_o that_o true_a faith_n in_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n be_v a_o infallible_a character_n of_o the_o new_a birth_n and_o of_o sonship_n and_o also_o if_o

20.32_o &_o 26.18_o and_o now_o i_o shall_v lay_v down_o a_o word_n of_o caution_n because_o i_o will_v not_o be_v mistake_v in_o what_o i_o have_v write_v and_o shall_v for_o this_o present_n

according_a to_o the_o first_o interpretation_n of_o the_o preposition_n anti_fw-la it_o signify_v for_o or_o in_o the_o room_n and_o stead_n of_o christ_n and_o according_a to_o this_o
