A86899	A plaine and briefe discovery of those two beasts that are written, Revel. 13 And to show what dishonour and disgrace the clergie bring against Christ and his glorious church in reading some part of the service-book. Againe I praise God I have shewed in briefe the true signification of Christ and his glorious church, with those holy ordinances that doe belong unto it. Gathered and directed by that grace God hath given to me James Hunt. All glory be to God on high.	Hunt, James, 17th cent.	1643 (1643)	Wing H3731; Thomason E70_12; ESTC R1261	12,315	16

in his judgment I will desire no mercy but I will be content to be put to death under the judgment of a Jury of twelve honest men but what saith the Scripture Cast out the bondwoman and her sonne for the sonne of the bond-woman shall not be heire with the son of the free woman Gal. 4. the sonne of the bond-woman plainly signifieth the Devill and the old Law for the old Law is the spirit of bondage and so is the devill as I in this book have plainly proved Now I will shew you in brief of Gods love and mercy For if the Pope and his Clergy and the Bishops and their Clergy will forsake the old Law and their false power and false doctrines and traditions which is contrary to the true worship and will of God and then be reconciled to Christ and the second covenant of grace God is rich in mercy to forgive them and receive them into his everlasting kingdome of glory Wherefore I will conclude with S. Paul as it is written 1 Tim. 2.3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God out Saviour who will have all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth for there is one God and one Mediator betweene God and men the man Christ Jesus who gave himselfe ransome for all to be testified in due time whereunto I am ordained a Preacher I say againe whereunto God my glorious Father hath ordained me to be a Preacher I speake the truth in Christ and lye not for the spirit of God drawes but one way that is to Christ and to the obedience of the new Covenant my text saith All things that reproveth are made manifest by the light Now by that light God hath given to me I shall reprove the Anabaptist which will not allow young children to be baptized but by the help of God I will prove in briefe by human reason and spirituall signification of Scripture that they are deceived in their judgement my first proofe is Heb 10. For the Law having a shadow of good things to come which doth signifie that the old Law was a type and shadow of the New for the Apostle saith plainly concerning the Jews which were under the Old Law he saith they were baptized to Moses in the cloud 1 Cor. 10.2 the cloud signifieth the Old Law now I understand that Moses did not baptise with water but to signifie that circumcision was a type of Baptisme and young children were circumcised at eight dayes old Againe I finde it written Acts 16. concerning the Jaylor and Lydia which were converted by S. Paul it is said they and all their houshold were baptized Now what man is able to gainsay but those two persons might have young children that were baptized by S. Paul Againe Acts 2. when the Apostle told the Jews that they had crucified the Lord of life they were pricked in their hearts and said Men and brethren what shall we do Peter answered Repent and be baptized and ye shall receive the gift of the holy Ghost for the promise is to you and to your children these places of Scripture doth plainly signifie that all young children of faithfull parents are to be baptized to the mysticall body of Christ Againe Christ said Suffer little children to come to me and forbid them not for to such belongeth the kingdome of God Marke this point I beseech you for Christ saith plainly that the kingdome of God doth belong to young children and Christ and his Gospell signifie Christ and his Kingdome Now if I aske the Anabaptists if they doe beleeve the Baptisme with water to be an holy Ordinance which doth belong to the body of Christ and to the second Covenant of grace they will answer yea why then my answer to them is in briefe that all those that will not suffer young children to be baptized they doe exclude them from the mysticall body of Christ and from the second Covenant of grace I pray God give all such people grace to forsake that wicked practise or else they will draw downe the fiery wrath of God upon their owne soules and thus I praise God I have proved in briefe by humane reason and by plaine signification of Scripture that young children must be baptized Againe I have shewed you that those two beasts doth signifie the Pope and his clergy and the Bishops and their Clergy that their false power are both as one It is written Iohn 16.13 14. Christ saith plainly When he the Spirit of truth is come he will guide you into all truth he shall glorifie me for he shall receive of mine and shall shew it unto you marke I beseech you the commanding power of God for Christ Jesus who in the true and perfect God he saith expresly that the spirit of truth shal receive of his and shal shew it unto you Now by that spirit of truth which Christ hath given unto me I will shew you in briefe the true signification of Christ and his glorious Church with those holy Ordinances which doth belong unto it for there are three that beare record in heaven the Father the Word and the holy Ghost and these three are one 1 Iohn 5.1 the Word signifieth Christ Jesus who is the second person in Trinity and all those people that will be reconciled to Christ and to the divine power of his word their spirits shal be joyned to the glorious Trinity my first proofe is in 2 Cor. 13.5 Examine your selves whether ye be in the faith know you not that Christ Jesus is in you except yee bee reprobates But how is Christ in his people my answer is by the vertue and divine power of his word which is revealed in his Gospel Again 1 Cor. 6.19 What know you not that your body is the temple of the holy Ghost which is in you Againe Ephes 4.4 There is one body one spirit one faith one God and Father of all who is above all and through all and in you all These three places of Scripture doth plainly prove and justifie that all those people that will be reconciled to Christ and to the obedience of his word which is revealed in the New Testament their spirits shall be joyned to the holy and glorious Trinity Father Son and holy Ghost which shall be all ingraffed as in one man though they shall be in number thousands of thousands and thus I praise God I have shewed you in briefe the true foundation of true and sound Religion which by the help of God I dare boldly say that the Devill and all his carnall Ministers shall never be able for to overthrow or shake this foundation Now by the help of God I will shew you in briefe how and after what manner children are to be baptized for I think it fit that the Minister first reade that portion of Scripture Gal. 3.21 For if there had beene a Law given that could have given life verily righteousnesse should have beene by
