A66855	A declaration to the Baptists concerning the name of the Lord, and what it is to be baptized thereinto, and the nature of the Lord, and what it is to be made partaker thereof : and sheweth that none can be saved, but such as are baptized into the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, into which name and nature, the apostles were sent to baptize, and not into water : shewing also, that the apostles were made the administrators of the Spirits baptism ... : also a discovery of the Baptists foundation ... / written by one who was sometimes one with them in the shadows ... but have now found the day wherein the shadows flee away, and hath received another name besides Humphry Wollrich.	Wollrich, Humphry, 1633?-1707.	1659 (1659)	Wing W3290; ESTC R39137	27,678	39

and the three last verses and Jesus came and spake unto them saying All power is given unto me in Heaven and Earth Go ye therefore and teach all Nations baptising them in the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost teaching them to observe and to do all things whatsoever I command you and Lo I am with you alwayes unto the end of the Word where there need not that any man teach them and this you are crying up to be water who have lost the Name and power of the Lord which should lead you and guide you into the Scriptures of Truth and instead of this name which is but one and this body which is but one into which bodie the Saints was Baptised into the body by one spirit Ephe. 4.5 whether they were Jewes or Greek bound or free and was made to drink into one spirit and in stead of this name ye have got the beasts names and the beasts doctrines which are Doctrines of Devils and names of blasphemy and this in particular I charge upon ye all in presence of the Lord and by the power of the Lord God Rev. 17.3 who are crying up water and preaching up water in stead of the Name of the Lord God to be a Doctrine of Devils for Christ sent not his Disciples to baptize with water but to preach and to baptize in the Name which Name of the Lord consists not in words and sillables 1 Cor. 17.1 but in purity Righteousnesse and holinesse and is the Divine nature and the Name of the Lord as you may read Exod. 34.5 And the Lord descended in the cloud and stood with him there and proclaimed the Name of the Lord and the Nature of the Lord and the Lord passed by him and proclaimed the Lord the Lord God merciful and gracions long suffering and abundant in goodness and truth keeping mercy for thousands forgiving iniquity transgression and sin and this is the Name of the Lord and the Nature of the Lord and besides this there is not another name whereby man can be saved but the Name of Jesus Acts 4.11 But alas alas how doth this stagger ye and how are you in your inventions seeking to find it out in your own wisdom are Judging and Condemning them as that Generation did in all Ages Condemning the Children of the Lord who had made the Name of the Lord their Tower and were led by the Spirit of the Lord as Deceivers Blasphemers and Seducers and so he who is the Lord our Righteousness and the Foundation of many Generations both he his Name which ye are gone from is become the stone of stumbling and the Rock of offence and set at naught by you builders of Babylon and so all in the fear of the Lord God who are crying up water and setting upwater in stead of the Name of the Lord God honestly sink down to the light of Christ who is the true light and lighteth every man that comes into the world and ye shall see ye have not as yet so much as known the Name of the Lord nor heard thereof but by the hearing with the carnal ear as they who were Baptized with water had not so much as heard whether there were a Holy Ghost as ye may read Acts 19.2 to the 7. verse When they heard this they were Baptized in the Name of the Lord Jesus but how should it be otherwise with you who are yet in the worlds fashions customs and who is so blind as he that is perfect in ye in whom the god of this world hath blinded the eye which should be your leader teacher and instructor and leadeth in the way of Righteousness and causeth all that follow him to inherit substance he it is who is the Light of the world and is not of the world but leadeth all that follow him out of the world its friendships fashions and customs which ye are in and yet say you are separated from them and say you are Jewes and are not but are of the synagogue of Sathan and are found Blasphemers therein and thus ye have set up the Idol in your hearts and put the stumbling block of Iniquity before my face saith the Lord God and turned away the face of mine Annointed and have cast the Law of the Lord behinde your backs and have rejected the Light of the Lord in you which is the Word of the Lord and know not God Christ nor his Spirit but in your thoughts where God is not to be found and therein have ye imagined a God above the Clouds and afar off but know not the Christ who is the express Image of the Fathers person to reveal the Father in you even he who is born of the Spirit and is Spirit and the onely begotten of the Spirit the Glory of him I say you are changeing in your vain Imaginations into the glory of a corruptible man Rom. 1.21 to the end read your state there And you are speaking of a Christ some of you of five foot long and asking how he can dwell in a man calling it blasphemy to say that Christ which suffered at Jerusalem of five foot long can be in a man thus you are in your imaginations and therein have set up a carnal Christ in your carnal minds but to this day are altogether ignorant as Philip was John 3.8 Read and understand John 14.8 if you have an ear to hear what the Spirit saith and see how you are gazing and are at a loss as the men of Galilee were while the vail is over your hearts and the Cloud hath taken him out of your sight and the are you scattered upon all the dark mountains of Israel and have wandred from the Lord the living Fountain and are like Noahs Dove tossed upon the waters and knowes not a resting place for the sole of your foot Therefore all Return Return to the light of the Lord in your Consciences that you may feel a Rock to stay and lean upon and he is not far from any of you there is none of you need to say who shall descend or ascend to fetch him up from beneath or bring him down from above but what saith it the word is nigh thee in thy heart that thou mayest obey it and do it and this is your fallen estate saith the Lord God which know not Christ in you the hope of glory Even the same that was before the world was one with the Father and filleth Heaven earth and was never seen with any carnal eye nor his voice heard by any carnal ear but in the pure eternal unchangeable light is he revealed and seen more and more as it is written Psal 36.9 For with thee is the Fountain of life in thy light shall we see light and so the way of the Just and the seed of the Just which is as a grain of Mustard seed is as a shining light that shineth more and more

a way which is hid from the eyes of all living and kept close from the fowls of the air there did he lead us by the hand of Moses and Aaron the saint of the Lord there did he lead us from one Nation to another people and rebuked mighty Kings yea famous Kings for our sakes saying Touch not mine Annointed and do my Prophets no harm and we have been Baptized with Moses in the Sea and in the Cloud and we have heard the voice of the Lord speaking out of the cloudy Pillar and his Light is arisen and his arm is made Bare in us and darkness is under his feet Now he who is the Light of the world and shined in the darkness is risen out of darkness and in him and by him we comprehend all you who are yet in the darkness in the diverse washings and carnal ordinances which were imposed but till the time of Reformation and no longer and we see your bottom and know your ground and we know your house of Imagery and see with the eye of God that ye are looking with beastly eyes which are many in you which are in the many bodies who are alienated and reprobated from the one body the Light which is the Eye of God by which his Children are led and guided into all truth which truth sets free from iniquity transgression and sin a thing which ye never look to be set free from in this life but are preaching and disputing against it Therefore to you all This is the Word of the Lord God and a charge from the Lord God to you all that are high in your profession above the Door Christ Repent and turn to the Light of the Lord God in you for there is not one of ye all that is yet come to the first principle which is Repentance from dead works for he that is dead sinneth not therefore come out of Babylon out of all your inventions imitations and likenesses into which ye are run and the Spirit of the Lord God never led you by your own Confession who say the Letter is the Leader Guider and Teacher which is contrary to the Doctrine of Christ and the Scriptures which say Christ is given for a Covenant of Light for a Leader and for a Teacher of his people therefore the leaders of this people causeth them to Err and they that are led of them are destroyed But they that are the sons of God are led by the Spirit of God and are Redeemed out of all your types and figures and shadowes and divers washings for which you have nothing to say or prove them by but by the Hand-writing which we know he hath taken away and abolished and nailed to his Cross which are a shadow of Good things to come But the Body is Christ into which body by one Spirit we are all Baptized whether Jewes or Greeks Bond or Free and have all been made to drink into that one Spirit in which Spirit is found the life of all types shadows and figures and in whom there is no variableness nor shadow of changing and him we witness in us to be greater then he that is in the world he himself is not of this world but he leadeth all that follow him out of the world which passeth away and gives us an entrance and by him an entrance is ministred into the Kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ and this is the Saviour of the Soul even the ingrafted word of the Lord which ye that say ye are wise have rejected and cast his Law behind your backs and to you all he is become a stone of stumbling and Rock of offence and the preaching of his Cross is to you foolishness who gird your selves and esteemed by you in that wisdom nothing but confusion babling and non-sence though unto us that are saved the power of God and the wisdom of God Therefore in the fear of the Lord God and in the dread of the Lord God I charge you all again Repent whilst wisdom uttereth her voice in the streets saying turn in and the Lord calleth by that of himself in you and reproveth you by his pure witness and smiteth you in your Consciences I say all turn to that which smiteth checketh and reproveth that the Lord God may pour forth his Spirit upon you and cause you to know the mind of the Lord and to feel the word of the Lord which is nigh you in your hearts and is quick and powerful sharper then a two edged sword and searcheth your hearts and sheweth you your hearts and sheweth you all your hypocrisie and how you are hypt from the pure Spirit of the Lord God and have lost the Image of the heavenly and bears the image of the earthly sensual and divelish and in that wisdom you are with all the world which is enmity with God and brings not any to the knowledge of God no more then it brought the Jews to the knowledge of Christ when he came and this is your woful and sad Estate and herein are you crying as they were of old that ye are the Church of the Lord and keep the Ordinances of the Lord and are crying out against them who witness Christ the substance the body the end of all types and figures who is the Everlasting Day in which all shadows flee away and he was before all shadows was and they that are out of him are in the shadows and not they that are in him And your actions plainly declare and make it manifest unto all that are not blind and have not utterly lost the feeling of the Lord God that ye are wholly degenerated from the Lord and inwardly ravened from the Spirit of the Lord God which gave forth the Scriptures For both of them bear Testimony against you that ye have lost the spiritual weapon and knows not the Sword of the Spirit which is the Word of God to defend your shadows types and figures and all your ordinances which you in your immaginations have set up and have made to your selves many likenesses and fall down to them and worship them and would have all to do the like as if they were the true God but God is a Spirit and all that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth therefore all come down and feel the spirit of the Lord the power of the Lord God in you leading guiding you out of all the Worlds wayes and the wickedness thereof and it will lead you by a way which you never went and in a path which the vulters eye hath not seen nor the fierce lionish nature hath not troden therein But the Children of the Lord and the redeemed of the Lord walk therein and a fool cannot erre therein Therefore all cease from your own wisdom which is foolishness with God and own Gods wisdom in you even the Light which is accounted foolishness by you and all wait low in it and a secret strength and

until the perfect day Hosea 6.3 Then shall we know the Lord whose goings forth is prepered as the morning therefore none despise the day of small things nor none reject the weakness of God but come tot his help against the Mighty nor reject the seed of Israel because it is in bondage and lieth in thick darkness and shineth in thick darkness but all sink down that ye may feel the Arm of the Lord and witness Israel to do valiantly and to smite down all and break and hammer down all which is exalted and hath been exalted above him and lick up Nations and lick up people as the Oxe licketh up grass and scatter Nation and scatter people and thresh the Mount of Esau and scatter the dust thereof and burn up the thorns and bryars thereof as the wind doth scatter the chaff and the fire devoureth the dry stubble but read within thus shall it be when the Lord ariseth in you to shake terribly the earth overturn the mountains by the roots and dry up the Sea by his Power and smite through the proud by his Power Jude 26.11 12. And so who waits love in patience upon the Lord God shall come to know what it is to be Baptized into the Name of the Lord God when they feel the Name of the Lord and see the Name of the Lord to be exalted in them above every name and to know the Mountain of the Lords House established a-top of every mountain Then shall come to pass that saying not till then which is written Isa 58.14 Then shalt thou delight thy self in the Lord and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy Father for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it then shall ye know the builder of the waste places and the raiser up of the foundation of many Generations the repairer of the breach the restorer of the pathes to dwell in then shall the beast and his many names the King and his many Nobles be all brought under and bound with fetters of iron as ye may read Psal 149.9 Let the Saints be joyful in Glory let them sing aloud upon their beds let the High praises of the Lord be in their mouths and a two edged sword in their hands to execute vengeance upon the Heathen and punishments upon the people to bind their Kings with chaines and their Nobles with fetters of Iron to execute upon them the Judgements written this honour have all the Saints Praise ye the Lord Mark read and understand not shall have as you turn it hereafter but this honour have all the Saints who were in all ages bound fettered themselves by the wicked Rulers of the earth But before you can see or believe these things that eye which ye now see with must be blinded and the eye which the god of the world hath blinded must be opened then he that speaks not of himself but of the Father nor receives honour of man but of the Father then and not till then will his Words be plain unto you and not parables But all ye that are speaking of yourselves know neither the Son nor the Father ye that can pray when you will and preach when you will and when you will can be silent and all this is but in your own will and in your own time but ye have neither heard the voice of the Father at any time Jo. 5.37 nor seen his shape but are inwardly ravened from the Spirit of the Father in whose hands your time should be rather then in an hour-glass which ye think the Spirit of the Lord will be limitted unto for when that is run ye say the time is expired and this is contrary to the Apostles practice which spake as the Spirit gave them utterance which ye may read was until midnight Acts 2● 7 And thus the Scripture which you say is your Rule to walk by beareth witness against you that ye walk contrary to it And yet so blind are ye that are Condemning us as Apostates which are led by the Spirit of the Lord and not contrary to the Scriptures and will not see that ye your selves are led neither by Letter nor Spirit But in your thoughts and imaginations ye are and ye see with the beasts eyes which are many and so are in the many minds and many heads and divided into the many bodies being led by the many eyes of the beast and with his many horns are thrusting and kicking one against another but know not the body nor discern not the body of Christ which is but one neither know the one eye which is the Spirit of truth to be your guider leader into all truth But one is crying I am of this mind and another I am of this and ye being many are of many minds and see with the beasts eyes which are many and all about the meaning of some one particular Scripture but are all gone from the Spirit of the Lord which gave forth the Scriptures and did speak as it meant which Spirit is but one in all his Children and all that are led by it are led into oneness and they are of one heart and one Soul as they that were guided by this one spirit in all ages was what ever you may imagine who are far from knowing such a state but one of you is crying I am for general Redemption and another I am for particular Election one is for eating of blood and another is against it some for washing of feet and others own it not one for laying on of hands and another against it and some that have preached it up as an Ordinance of Christ as William Allen and Thomas Lamb and without it said they could not admit any into the body of Christ and now themselves are gone from that also and look upon it as an indifferent thing and some of them are so blind that they say they cannot call any Brother until they have been Baptized in the water though it be but an hour before they are Baptized and yet a moneth before that when they have Examined them about their Faith and have judged them believers and I say that all are the Sons of God by Faith and therefore read Gal. ● 26 And consider what an Idol you have made of carnal water that cannot have fellowship with the Sons of God until they fall down to worship the Idol which ye in your Imaginations have set up for which ye have neither the Spirit nor the Letter of the Scriptures to own you in Some of you say that Christ shall come and reign among you a thousand years hereafter but that ye say ye know not when it shall be and many of you are for a Supper before that which ye call the Lords Supper and many of you deny both these thus are yow Babels builders scattered and confounded among your selves in your Imaginations
