A77739	A confutation of the Anabaptists, and all others who affect not civill government; proving the lawfullnesse of it: and a full answer to all their cavills, that are, or can be made against it. With a nut-cracker for an unnaturall nut, whose shell is as hard as the scales of Leviathan, and the kernell of his heart as hard as a piece of the nether mill-stone, Iob 41.15.24. yet the hammer of Gods word that breaketh in pieces the rocks, Ier. 23.29. will break this nut, that all may see the devillish kernell that is in it. Also arguments against the Anabaptists, proving that infants borne of Christian parents ought to be baptized: with a full answer to all their cavills that are (or can be) made against it. Imprimatur Ja. Cranford.	Bakewell, Thomas, b. 1618 or 19.	1644 (1644)	Wing B530; Thomason E51_20; ESTC R209932	98,225	89

which_o they_o hope_v to_o be_v free_v from_o all_o civil_a power_n and_o government_n witness_v that_o heretical_a book_n entitle_v the_o personal_a reign_n of_o christ_n upon_o earth_n which_o affirm_v that_o all_o civil_a power_n and_o government_n shall_v be_v cast_v down_o before_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n a_o thousand_o year_n this_o have_v great_a approbation_n among_o they_o and_o they_o the_o mean_a time_n desire_v and_o expect_v when_o all_o throne_n and_o power_n shall_v be_v cast_v down_o that_o they_o may_v live_v without_o rule_n or_o government_n but_o see_v my_o answer_n to_o it_o in_o that_o book_n entitle_v the_o saint_n inheritance_n after_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n and_o for_o the_o present_n let_v it_o suffice_v that_o the_o scripture_n mention_v but_o three_o come_n of_o christ_n one_o spirituaily_a when_o he_o change_v the_o heart_n and_o st●mpeth_v his_o own_o image_n of_o grace_n upon_o it_o second_o when_o he_o come_v visible_o in_o the_o fl●sh_n in_o the_o fullness_n of_o time_n god_n send_v his_o son_n gal._n 4_o 4._o this_o be_v do_v when_o the_o word_n be_v make_v flesh_n and_o dwell_v among_o we_o john_n 1.14_o the_o three_o be_v yet_o expect_v at_o which_o come_v he_o shall_v judge_v both_o quick_a and_o dead_a and_o the_o heaven_n must_v receive_v he_o un●●_n the_o restitution_n of_o all_o thing_n act_n 3.21_o therefore_o no_o other_o come_v to_o be_v expect_v before_o the_o end_n but_o here_o we_o may_v see_v how_o they_o declare_v their_o affection_n to_o civil_a government_n when_o as_o they_o expect_v that_o christ_n shall_v come_v and_o free_v they_o from_o all_o obedience_n to_o it_o and_o that_o a_o thousand_o year_n before_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n but_o here_o some_o may_v reply_v and_o say_v to_o i_o thus_o you_o affect_v neither_o antinemians_n nor_o familist_n anabaptist_n nor_o papist_n brownist_n nor_o profane_a protestant_n than_o what_o be_v it_o you_o will_v have_v i_o answer_v i_o desire_v to_o be_v find_v faithful_a to_o luther_n protestation_n and_o to_o calvin_n institution_n the_o first_o of_o these_o be_v the_o original_a cause_n from_o whence_o the_o name_n of_o protestant_n do_v first_o arise_v for_o when_o luther_n do_v first_o renounce_v that_o strumpet_n of_o rome_n he_o cause_v they_o all_o that_o be_v with_o he_o to_o enter_v into_o a_o protestation_n against_o all_o popery_n and_o popish_a innovation_n and_o those_o that_o take_v that_o protestation_n be_v ever_o afterward_o call_v protestant_n &_o we_o in_o this_o kingdom_n have_v of_o late_o take_v the_o very_a same_o protestation_n against_o all_o popery_n and_o popish_a innovation_n therefore_o i_o doubt_v not_o but_o we_o have_v many_o among_o we_o who_o will_v hazard_v life_n and_o state_n and_o all_o they_o have_v to_o maintain_v that_o protestation_n and_o so_o by_o the_o good_a blessing_n of_o the_o lord_n will_v prove_v themselves_o good_a and_o faithful_a protestant_n but_o for_o the_o second_o although_o i_o call_v it_o calvin_n institution_n yet_o not_o as_o if_o he_o have_v make_v it_o of_o his_o own_o head_n but_o as_o a_o faithful_a servant_n of_o jesus_n christ_n he_o have_v faithful_o declare_v all_o the_o counsel_n of_o god_n as_o paul_n do_v act_v 20.27_o to_o all_o his_o fellow-brethren_n that_o all_o may_v see_v what_o a_o church_n christ_n have_v institute_v in_o his_o word_n also_o this_o do_v well_o agree_v with_o our_o late_a solemn_a nationall_n covenant_n in_o which_o we_o have_v bind_v ourselves_o with_o our_o hand_n lift_v up_o to_o the_o most_o high_a god_n swear_v thus_o that_o we_o shall_v sincere_o real_o and_o constant_o through_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n endeavour_n in_o our_o several_a place_n and_o calling_n the_o preservation_n of_o the_o reform_a church_n of_o scotland_n in_o doctrine_n worship_n discipline_n and_o government_n against_o our_o common_a enemy_n now_o i_o hope_v all_o those_o that_o have_v thus_o engage_v themselves_o be_v convince_v that_o their_o doctrine_n worship_n discipline_n and_o government_n be_v agreeable_a to_o god_n word_n else_o why_o have_v we_o bind_v ourselves_o to_o preserve_v it_o there_o and_o to_o acknowledge_v the_o enemy_n of_o it_o to_o be_v our_o common_a enemy_n yet_o i_o deny_v not_o but_o as_o it_o be_v there_o it_o may_v have_v some_o fail_n which_o may_v admit_v of_o reformation_n the_o lord_n open_v our_o reformer_n eye_n that_o they_o may_v connive_v at_o nothing_o that_o may_v prejudice_v the_o honour_n of_o christ_n or_o the_o good_a of_o his_o church_n but_o whatsoever_o be_v command_v by_o the_o god_n of_o heaven_n let_v it_o be_v diligent_o do_v ezra_n 7.23_o again_o we_o have_v swear_v to_o endeavour_v the_o reformation_n of_o religion_n in_o england_n scotland_n and_o ireland_n in_o doctrine_n worship_n discipline_n and_o government_n according_a to_o god_n word_n and_o the_o best_a reform_a church_n and_o for_o this_o i_o hope_v we_o be_v convince_v that_o the_o presbyterial_a be_v the_o best_a reformation_n else_o why_o do_v we_o bind_v ourselves_o to_o preserve_v it_o in_o scotland_n we_o be_v or_o shall_v be_v resolve_v be_v resolve_v before_o we_o vow_v and_o not_o after_o vow_n to_o make_v enquiry_n prov._n 20.25_o again_o we_o swear_v that_o we_o will_v endeavour_v to_o bring_v the_o church_n of_o god_n in_o the_o three_o kingdom_n to_o the_o near_a conjunction_n and_o uniformity_n in_o religion_n confession_n of_o faith_n sorme_n of_o church-government_n directory_n for_o worship_n and_o chattechise_v but_o if_o scotland_n government_n and_o discipline_n must_v not_o be_v alter_v the_o case_n be_v clear_a that_o we_o have_v bind_v ourselves_o to_o uniformity_n with_o they_o in_o the_o forementioned_a thing_n let_v therefore_o as_o many_o as_o be_v perfect_a be_v thus_o mind_v and_o if_o in_o any_o thing_n you_o be_v otherwise_o mind_v god_n shall_v reveal_v even_o this_o unto_o you_o phil._n 3.15_o thus_o you_o see_v the_o harmony_n between_o our_o protestation_n and_o luther_n protestation_n as_o also_o between_o our_o covenant_n and_o calvin_n institution_n thus_o far_o bless_v be_v the_o lord_n for_o our_o bless_a union_n therefore_o my_o motion_n i_o hope_v will_v not_o seem_v strange_a when_o i_o shall_v desire_v faithfulness_n to_o our_o late_a protestation_n and_o to_o our_o solemn_a covenant_n not_o as_o though_o i_o do_v question_v the_o faithfulness_n of_o our_o reformer_n for_o bless_a be_v god_n they_o have_v already_o do_v more_o than_o some_o year_n ago_o we_o think_v we_o shall_v ever_o have_v live_v to_o see_v or_o as_o though_o i_o question_v the_o faithfulness_n of_o any_o that_o have_v take_v that_o protestation_n or_o covenant_n only_o i_o wish_v &_o pray_v for_o their_o perseverance_n that_o as_o their_o hand_n have_v lay_v the_o head_n stone_n thereof_o their_o hand_n also_o may_v finish_v it_o and_o when_o they_o bring_v forth_o the_o foundation_n of_o this_o house_n with_o shout_v we_o shall_v cry_v grace_n grace_n unto_o it_o zech._n 4.7.9_o but_o i_o must_v expect_v some_o foul-mouthed_a prelate_n to_o stand_v up_o as_o in_o doctor_n bastwick_n case_n say_v that_o base_a fellow_n calvin_n for_o so_o that_o old_a francis_n white_a the_o prelate_n of_o ely_n call_v that_o ever_o to_o he_o honour_v divine_a say_v

very_o much_o blame_v calvin_n for_o his_o factious_a spirit_n &_o say_v that_o they_o hold_v the_o crown_n of_o king_n upon_o their_o head_n for_o no_o bishop_n no_o king_n and_o those_o that_o will_v have_v no_o bishop_n seek_v to_o overthrow_v all_o government_n and_o so_o he_o conclude_v with_o honourable_a expression_n to_o that_o strumpet_n synagogue_n of_o rome_n say_v she_o be_v a_o

call_v he_o base_a fellow_n and_o that_o he_o shall_v seek_v to_o overthrow_v all_o order_n and_o authority_n n_o the_o church_n and_o to_o demolish_v the_o authority_n of_o the_o magistrate_n again_o

to_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o word_n now_o here_o it_o may_v be_v demand_v how_o they_o may_v know_v that_o they_o be_v call_v of_o god_n to_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o word_n i_o answer_v they_o may_v know_v it_o if_o they_o find_v three_o thing_n in_o themselves_o the_o first_o be_v the_o testimony_n of_o their_o conscience_n that_o they_o enter_v not_o for_o praise_v honour_n or_o lucre_n but_o in_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n with_o a_o desire_n to_o glorify_v he_o and_o to_o edisie_v the_o church_n second_o a_o faculty_n to_o do_v that_o which_o they_o have_v a_o desire_n to_o do_v in_o this_o saculty_n be_v two_o thing_n 1._o a_o knowledge_n of_o god_n and_o of_o his_o way_n 2._o aptness_n to_o deliver_v that_o which_o they_o know_v the_o three_o thing_n whereby_o they_o may_v know_v their_o call_n be_v the_o ordination_n of_o the_o church_n which_o appear_v and_o give_v testimony_n of_o their_o will_n and_o ability_n he_o that_o have_v these_o thing_n be_v certain_o call_v of_o god_n now_o put_v the_o case_n a_o man_n want_v the_o first_o of_o these_o three_o and_o enter_v with_o a_o evil_a conscience_n be_v carry_v with_o ambitious_a and_o covetous_a desire_n i_o answer_v yet_o his_o call_n still_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o church_n be_v good_a and_o lawful_a and_o when_o he_o repent_v of_o his_o bad_a conscience_n it_o be_v also_o accept_v of_o god_n so_o then_o minister_n must_v have_v a_o calling_n or_o else_o they_o can_v preach_v for_o say_v paul_n how_o shall_v they_o preach_v except_o they_o be_v send_v rom._n 10.14.15_o no_o man_n ought_v to_o take_v that_o honour_n upon_o himself_o but_o he_o that_o be_v call_v of_o god_n as_o aaron_n be_v heb._n 5.4_o vzzah_n be_v smite_v with_o death_n for_o but_o touch_v the_o ark_n although_o his_o

that_o any_o man_n may_v preach_v that_o will_n without_o any_o special_a call_n and_o they_o allege_v for_o their_o purpose_n that_o the_o house_n of_o stephanus_n addict_v themselves_o to_o the_o

ministry_n of_o the_o saint_n in_o the_o purpose_n and_o resolution_n of_o their_o heart_n of_o all_o gift_n they_o desire_v to_o prophesy_v yet_o these_o desire_n do_v not_o make_v they_o minister_n except_o god_n be_v please_v to_o furnish_v they_o with_o gift_n and_o they_o ordain_v by_o the_o church_n but_o till_o then_o they_o must_v give_v i_o leave_v to_o put_v it_o out_o of_o my_o belief_n that_o they_o be_v minister_n again_o they_o allege_v that_o all_o christian_n be_v king_n and_o priest_n and_o the_o office_n of_o the_o priest_n be_v to_o teach_v i_o answer_v we_o be_v spiritual_a
