A85548	The shipwrack of all false churches: and the immutable safety and stability of the true Church of Christ. Occasioned: by Doctour Chamberlen his mistake of her, and the holy scriptures also, by syllogising words, to find out spirituall meanings, when in such cases it is the definition, not the name, by which things are truly knowne.	Graunt, John, of Bucklersbury.	1652 (1652)	Wing G1594; Thomason E674_21; ESTC R207205	29,575	28

the_o spirit_n of_o the_o lord_n foretell_v and_o they_o shall_v do_v great_a wonder_n and_o work_n of_o great_a power_n so_o that_o they_o will_v deceive_v if_o it_o be_v possible_a the_o very_a elect_a which_o kind_n of_o faith_n may_v proper_o be_v define_v thus_o that_o it_o be_v a_o certain_a undoubted_a confidence_n whereby_o a_o man_n believe_v that_o god_n almighty_a will_n by_o he_o do_v this_o or_o that_o miracle_n as_o the_o scripture_n say_v through_o faith_n in_o his_o name_n the_o three_o sort_n of_o the_o gift_n of_o the_o spirit_n which_o any_o man_n receive_v to_o eternal_a life_n be_v call_v by_o the_o name_n of_o faith_n and_o that_o more_o often_o than_o those_o before_o name_v which_o the_o scripture_n call_v the_o faith_n of_o god_n the_o faith_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n the_o faith_n of_o jesus_n christ_n the_o faith_n of_o abraham_n the_o faith_n that_o work_v by_o love_n the_o faith_n of_o god_n elect_a which_o be_v often_o and_o proper_o call_v by_o godly_a man_n justify_v faith_n and_o of_o this_o sort_n and_o kind_n of_o faith_n all_o the_o saint_n and_o they_o only_o have_v which_o may_v be_v true_o define_v in_o this_o manner_n that_o it_o be_v a_o full_a sure_a and_o firm_a confidence_n engrave_v by_o the_o power_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n in_o a_o penitent_a break_a heart_n whereby_o he_o assure_o believe_v that_o all_o his_o sin_n be_v remit_v and_o that_o he_o be_v reconcile_v and_o make_v one_o with_o god_n in_o everlasting_a love_n and_o favour_n through_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n now_o the_o doctor_n ought_v to_o have_v consider_v which_o of_o all_o these_o three_o sort_n of_o faith_n be_v mean_v by_o our_o saviour_n in_o the_o place_n he_o allege_v the_o last_o sort_n of_o faith_n can_v be_v understand_v for_o that_o be_v include_v in_o the_o next_o term_n baptise_v as_o i_o shall_v show_v when_o i_o give_v you_o the_o meaning_n nor_o the_o second_o sort_n for_o that_o be_v not_o peculiar_a to_o they_o that_o shall_v be_v save_v and_o therefore_o without_o all_o contradiction_n it_o must_v be_v the_o first_o sort_n of_o faith_n which_o all_o the_o elect_a of_o god_n must_v have_v in_o some_o measure_n or_o other_o wrought_v by_o god_n spirit_n before_o he_o work_v either_o repentance_n or_o remission_n of_o sin_n which_o kind_n of_o faith_n may_v well_o be_v express_v in_o say_v that_o it_o be_v and_o it_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o sure_a knowledge_n and_o settle_a assent_n of_o the_o mind_n and_o heart_n by_o which_o a_o man_n most_o undoubted_o believe_v such_o thing_n as_o be_v reveal_v for_o the_o salvation_n of_o mankind_n now_o the_o second_o term_n in_o the_o text_n be_v baptise_v which_o word_n be_v likewise_o of_o divers_a signification_n in_o the_o scripture_n and_o he_o ought_v here_o to_o have_v deal_v like_o a_o skilful_a spiritual_a workman_n as_o before_o be_v express_v that_o be_v in_o the_o first_o place_n to_o have_v show_v the_o manifold_a acceptation_n the_o same_o word_n also_o have_v in_o the_o holy_a ghost_n expression_n and_o than_o which_o of_o all_o the_o meaning_n by_o the_o same_o term_n be_v here_o to_o be_v understand_v which_o the_o doctor_n have_v omit_v of_o necessity_n i_o must_v do_v this_o work_n for_o he_o to_o find_v out_o the_o true_a meaning_n of_o this_o scripture_n also_o wherefore_o i_o say_v of_o the_o term_n baptism_n as_o of_o the_o term_n faith_n that_o it_o have_v divers_a disfinct_a and_o several_a meaning_n in_o the_o scripture_n sometime_o be_v mean_v by_o it_o external_a elementary_a baptism_n that_o which_o be_v from_o below_o but_o more_o often_o that_o which_o be_v spiritual_a and_o heavenly_a from_o above_o as_o repentance_n be_v call_v baptism_n and_o so_o be_v remission_n of_o sin_n and_o these_o two_o heavenly_a operation_n together_o be_v regeneration_n and_o the_o make_a part_n of_o the_o new_a man_n be_v call_v baptism_n and_o so_o be_v the_o gift_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n give_v to_o this_o new_a creature_n call_v baptism_n as_o also_o the_o enable_a grace_n in_o the_o holy_a conversation_n of_o this_o child_n of_o god_n his_o mortification_n and_o vivification_n be_v call_v baptism_n as_o also_o be_v his_o bless_a suffering_n for_o righteousness_n sake_n can_v you_o be_v baptise_v with_o the_o baptism_n that_o i_o be_o baptise_v with_o etc._n etc._n now_o mr._n doctor_n may_v it_o please_v you_o to_o learn_v which_o of_o all_o these_o distinct_a meaning_n be_v that_o which_o be_v intend_v by_o our_o lord_n and_o saviour_n the_o last_o it_o can_v be_v for_o in_o that_o our_o lord_n speak_v of_o the_o work_n and_o exercise_v of_o a_o new_a man_n bear_v and_o not_o of_o the_o birth_n itself_o the_o first_o it_o can_v be_v for_o that_o be_v from_o below_o and_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o the_o water_n of_o the_o great_a ocean_n spring_n or_o fountain_n to_o unharden_v the_o heart_n to_o convert_v a_o natural_a man_n to_o renew_v the_o sinner_n to_o sanctify_v the_o pollute_a then_o without_o all_o question_n it_o must_v be_v the_o baptism_n of_o repentance_n and_o remission_n of_o sin_n the_o wash_n of_o regeneration_n and_o renew_v of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n for_o whosoever_o be_v so_o baptise_v do_v so_o repent_v and_o believe_v shall_v be_v save_v now_o these_o thing_n consider_v i_o pray_v see_v
