A76101	The arrovv of the Almighty shot out of the creatures bowe, against the uncalled ministers in England. Or, A messages sent to them to forewarn them of their determined destruction, before it fall upon them. Likewise here is shewed, from whence they had their calling into the ministery; and how all people have been decieved by them. Here is also a glass wherein all formalists may see their own deformity, and so seek after that which is the substance, wherein all their deformity shall be done away. Likewise here is opened the mystery of the Lords Supper, and the mystery in Baptism; and how there is a threefold Baptism, having relation to the three fold name of Father, Son, and Holy Ghost; with other truths very needful to be known. All of them being laid down in as brief a manner as possiblemay be, for the use and instruction of the Presbyterians, Independants, and Anabaptists, so called; or for the good of all others who have a minde to seek God in a right way; and in the conclusion, a word to the free-gracians.

of_o he_o be_v but_o false_a and_o feign_a and_o so_o give_v that_o to_o the_o type_n which_o only_o belong_v to_o the_o divine_a nature_n and_o this_o be_v because_o of_o the_o faith_n which_o be_v

while_o your_o false_a teacher_n who_o have_v the_o lie_a spirit_n in_o they_o have_v power_n to_o destroy_v you_o they_o will_v still_o deceive_v you_o therefore_o as_o you_o love_v your_o own_o

you_o become_v to_o know_v your_o own_o self_n you_o shall_v not_o jar_v so_o much_o with_o they_o as_o you_o do_v for_o you_o and_o they_o and_o the_o papist_n too_o be_v all_o brethren_n in_o the_o
