A77749	Doctor Chamberlain visited with a bunch of his own grapes, gathered out of his own packet of letters: to know whether my answer to his question gave satisfaction, and that by his reply to partake of those rare gifts of the spirit, which he proffered to publish in Black-fryers Church. Also an answer to Dr Chamberlains reply, concerning sprinkling the baptized. / By Thomas Bakewel.	Bakewell, Thomas, b. 1618 or 19.	1650 (1650)	Wing B532; Thomason E601_4; ESTC R206402	21,189	30

but_o what_o be_v the_o offence_n give_v by_o doctor_n gouge_n for_o this_o man_n thus_o to_o rail_v on_o he_o answ_n nothing_o but_o this_o christ_n say_v he_o answer_v all_o question_n and_o so_o

say_v receive_v this_o as_o from_o christ_n now_o who_o this_o railer_n be_v i_o know_v not_o yet_o some_o think_v he_o to_o be_v one_o evins_n that_o be_v in_o newgate_n for_o profess_v himself_o

he_o apply_v to_o himself_o or_o some_o of_o his_o faction_n but_o then_o he_o seem_v to_o recant_v of_o all_o the_o evil_a that_o he_o have_v speak_v against_o the_o doctor_n say_v not_o that_o i_o

in_o truth_n or_o if_o false_a what_o a_o horrible_a wretch_n be_v he_o thus_o to_o reproach_v he_o but_o god_n have_v make_v his_o own_o conscience_n to_o check_v his_o rail_a tongue_n confess_v to_o have_v reason_n to_o love_v he_o in_o truth_n and_o yet_o they_o must_v not_o be_v make_v know_v now_o i_o shall_v show_v that_o you_o be_v lead_v by_o the_o same_o spirit_n for_o these_o reason_n first_o you_o say_v that_o this_o raler_n be_v a_o messenger_n come_v from_o christ_n and_o that_o no_o man_n can_v deny_v it_o which_o show_v that_o the_o same_o spirit_n rule_v in_o both_o second_o this_o railer_n say_v to_o you_o set_v these_o thing_n in_o order_n and_o send_v they_o to_o black_a friar_n and_o this_o also_o you_o have_v do_v although_o with_o some_o difficulty_n because_o as_o

according_o you_o have_v conceal_v it_o although_o it_o be_v very_o likely_a you_o know_v it_o five_o he_o rail_v upon_o this_o reverend_a minister_n notwithstanding_o be_v have_v many_o reason_n to_o

that_o you_o love_v he_o and_o yet_o one_o dream_n suggest_v by_o the_o devil_n will_v make_v you_o to_o leave_v he_o as_o you_o say_v harden_v in_o blindness_n which_o comprehend_v all_o that_o the_o railer_n have_v speak_v six_o you_o have_v give_v such_o way_n to_o this_o foul_a spirit_n as_o to_o defuse_v what_o he_o have_v suggest_v for_o the_o doctor_n answer_v to_o your_o question_n concern_v sprinkle_v the_o baptise_a that_o you_o may_v come_v to_o he_o and_o also_o bring_v a_o friend_n with_o you_o if_o you_o please_v but_o to_o the_o other_o question_n whether_o it_o shall_v

like_o a_o false_a witness_n apply_v his_o answer_n to_o the_o wrong_a question_n and_o from_o that_o false_a ground_n take_v a_o occasion_n to_o insult_v over_o he_o and_o dare_v he_o to_o take_v

against_o those_o that_o be_v true_o orthodox_n if_o our_o learned_a minister_n write_v any_o tract_n than_o they_o say_v they_o have_v nothing_o but_o humane_a learning_n they_o have_v not_o the_o spirit_n and_o if_o any_o illiterate_a man_n shall_v write_v against_o they_o than_o he_o want_v learning_n but_o if_o for_o they_o then_o say_v you_o in_o your_o first_o letter_n god_n give_v poor_a fisherman_n the_o spirit_n which_o he_o do_v not_o to_o learned_a clark_n then_o you_o will_v make_v the_o world_n believe_v that_o you_o be_v of_o a_o very_a humble_a spirit_n and_o you_o deserve_v not_o the_o title_n of_o tyrus_n but_o pride_n break_v out_o and_o spoil_v all_o say_v that_o which_o you_o false_o charge_v i_o withal_o that_o our_o minister_n dare_v not_o answer_v you_o there_o be_v none_o so_o bold_a yet_o still_o you_o will_v have_v i_o bear_v the_o name_n and_o keep_v the_o vice_n yourself_o say_v i_o presume_v to_o answer_v for_o doctor_n gouge_n suppose_v myself_o the_o

say_v that_o i_o except_v against_o you_o for_o ask_v dr_n gouge_n a_o question_n because_o he_o be_v ancient_a when_o as_o multitude_n of_o year_n shall_v teach_v wisdom_n job_n 32.7_o and_o of_o

be_v ancient_a but_o because_o you_o more_o require_v his_o pulpit_n then_o his_o answer_n to_o make_v division_n rather_o than_o to_o seek_v for_o satisfaction_n neither_o be_v it_o fit_a i_o say_v that_o ancient_a minister_n shall_v be_v daily_o trouble_v with_o all_o the_o vain_a query_n that_o anabaptist_n may_v put_v unto_o they_o but_o than_o you_o be_v trouble_v that_o i_o shall_v not_o give_v you_o leave_v to_o state_n your_o own_o question_n which_o be_v so_o state_v that_o the_o answer_v of_o it_o as_o it_o be_v will_v start_v up_o more_o question_n which_o will_v be_v endless_a therefore_o it_o be_v my_o desire_n to_o confine_v the_o question_n only_o to_o sprinkle_v the_o baptise_a and_o leave_v infant_n for_o another_o question_n at_o this_o you_o cavil_v ask_v whether_o they_o must_v first_o be_v baptize_v and_o then_o sprinkle_v which_o show_v of_o what_o spirit_n you_o be_v as_o if_o i_o shall_v say_v such_o a_o man_n have_v marry_v a_o wife_n for_o which_o you_o shall_v accuse_v i_o for_o say_v he_o marry_v she_o that_o be_v a_o wife_n at_o that_o time_n to_o another_o man_n then_o you_o say_v that_o doctor_n gouge_n do_v acknowledge_v that_o sprinkle_v and_o baptise_v infant_n be_v but_o a_o tradition_n of_o the_o church_n i_o question_v the_o truth_n of_o it_o but_o i_o say_v they_o be_v such_o tradition_n of_o the_o church_n as_o that_o they_o be_v not_o man_n invention_n nor_o by_o man_n to_o be_v abolish_v then_o you_o come_v to_o my_o first_o argument_n in_o these_o word_n the_o lord_n foretell_v that_o in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o gospel_n his_o people_n shall_v be_v sprinkle_v with_o clean_a water_n ezek._n 36.25_o to_o this_o you_o propound_v many_o query_n thus_o whether_o sprinkle_v here_o be_v mean_v baptism_n or_o by_o clean_a water_n the_o elementary_a water_n and_o you_o be_v mean_v infant_n and_o the_o time_n then_o be_v mean_v the_o time_n of_o the_o gospel_n with_o the_o gentile_n or_o the_o time_n of_o the_o glorious_a call_v of_o the_o jew_n or_o whether_o sprinkle_v do_v not_o allude_v to_o that_o sprinkle_v under_o the_o law_n they_o not_o know_v john_n nor_o christ_n baptism_n and_o whether_o pure_a water_n be_v not_o mean_v the_o holy_a ghost_n in_o the_o language_n of_o christ_n to_o this_o i_o answer_v let_v they_o be_v jew_n or_o gentile_n in_o respect_n of_o country_n bond_n or_o free_a male_a or_o female_a infant_n or_o of_o full_a age_n all_o in_o the_o christian_a church_n have_v right_a to_o baptism_n neither_o can_v this_o text_n look_v back_o to_o the_o jewish_a sprinkling_n under_o the_o law_n because_o it_o be_v a_o prophecy_n or_o promise_n to_o come_v hereafter_o neither_o can_v this_o be_v mean_v of_o the_o essence_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n to_o be_v sprinkle_v which_o be_v uncommunicable_a and_o for_o the_o grace_n or_o operation_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n promise_v to_o be_v bestow_v in_o the_o latter_a day_n they_o be_v not_o where_o promise_v to_o be_v by_o sprinkle_v a_o few_o drop_n but_o say_v the_o lord_n it_o shall_v come_v to_o pass_v that_o i_o will_v pour_v out_o my_o spirit_n joel_n 2.28_o i_o will_v pour_v water_n upon_o he_o that_o be_v thirsty_a and_o flood_n upon_o the_o dry_a ground_n i_o will_v pour_v my_o spirit_n upon_o thy_o seed_n and_o my_o blessing_n upon_o thy_o offspring_n isa_n 44.3_o now_o see_v the_o apostle_n exposition_n of_o these_o text_n it_o shall_v come_v to_o pass_v say_v god_n that_o i_o will_v pour_v out_o my_o spirit_n act._n 2.17_o and_o say_v christ_n himself_o out_o of_o his_o belly_n shall_v flow_v river_n of_o live_a water_n but_o this_o speak_v he_o of_o the_o spirit_n joh._n 7.38_o 39_o neither_o be_v it_o likely_a that_o the_o promise_n of_o grace_n in_o the_o fullness_n of_o christ_n kingdom_n shall_v be_v no_o more_o but_o a_o few_o drop_n sprinkle_v which_o they_o have_v when_o these_o promise_n be_v make_v so_o that_o it_o remain_v that_o this_o sprinkle_v here_o foretold_v to_o be_v with_o clean_a water_n be_v the_o elementary_a water_n sprinkle_v upon_o the_o baptise_a as_o the_o outward_a form_n which_o may_v signify_v all_o that_o abundance_n of_o grace_n promise_v to_o be_v then_o bestow_v upon_o the_o christian_a church_n and_o mr_n doctor_n these_o thing_n i_o be_o confident_a shall_v be_v accomplish_v although_o you_o tax_v i_o with_o lay-ignorance_n and_o to_o be_v talketive_a and_o you_o believe_v that_o these_o mistake_n will_v make_v they_o to_o keep_v the_o staff_n in_o their_o own_o hand_n and_o not_o to_o suffer_v such_o though_o never_o so_o zealous_a and_o devout_a to_o betray_v their_o cause_n to_o this_o i_o know_v not_o who_o you_o mean_v but_o god_n forbid_v that_o for_o any_o private_a cause_n any_o power_n on_o earth_n shall_v suppress_v the_o truth_n although_o they_o have_v the_o staff_n of_o power_n in_o their_o hand_n but_o than_o you_o conclude_v all_o that_o can_v be_v say_v upon_o this_o place_n be_v only_o a_o promise_n what_o god_n will_v do_v and_o not_o a_o command_n what_o man_n must_v do_v ans_fw-fr it_o may_v be_v the_o outward_a form_n of_o baptism_n by_o sprinkle_v of_o water_n for_o all_o that_o for_o god_n may_v do_v it_o by_o instrument_n the_o pharisee_n hear_v that_o jesus_n make_v and_o baptize_v more_o disciple_n than_o john_n though_o jesus_n himself_o baptize_v not_o but_o his_o disciple_n joh._n 4.1_o 2._o and_o they_o come_v to_o john_n say_v he_o that_o be_v with_o thou_o beyond_o jordan_n baptize_v joh._n 3.26_o but_o not_o himself_o but_o admit_v it_o be_v christ_n himself_o that_o baptize_v yet_o it_o be_v with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n when_o john_n baptize_v with_o water_n mat._n 3.11_o thus_o christ_n make_v the_o outward_a form_n by_o sprinkle_v effectual_a by_o sanctify_v and_o cleanse_v his_o church_n with_o the_o wash_n of_o water_n by_o the_o word_n eph._n 5.26_o and_o thus_o christ_n when_o he_o wash_v his_o disciple_n foot_n wash_v and_o cleanse_v their_o soul_n from_o sin_n or_o else_o they_o have_v have_v no_o part_n with_o he_o joh._n 13.8_o and_o yet_o not_o without_o that_o outward_a form_n but_o than_o you_o be_v trouble_v that_o i_o shall_v say_v that_o water_n in_o the_o sacrament_n signify_v the_o blood_n of_o christ_n say_v where_o do_v the_o scripture_n say_v so_o but_o i_o say_v if_o you_o take_v away_o the_o thing_n signify_v from_o the_o element_n you_o destroy_v the_o sacrament_n much_o like_o the_o papist_n who_o will_v have_v the_o element_n of_o bread_n turn_v into_o the_o very_a body_n of_o christ_n but_o in_o so_o do_v you_o spoil_v the_o ordinance_n as_o well_o by_o plunge_v
