A85548	The shipwrack of all false churches: and the immutable safety and stability of the true Church of Christ. Occasioned: by Doctour Chamberlen his mistake of her, and the holy scriptures also, by syllogising words, to find out spirituall meanings, when in such cases it is the definition, not the name, by which things are truly knowne.	Graunt, John, of Bucklersbury.	1652 (1652)	Wing G1594; Thomason E674_21; ESTC R207205	29,575	28

the_o son_n of_o god_n the_o faith_n of_o jesus_n christ_n the_o faith_n of_o abraham_n the_o faith_n that_o work_v by_o love_n the_o faith_n of_o god_n elect_a which_o be_v often_o and_o proper_o

that_o it_o be_v a_o full_a sure_a and_o firm_a confidence_n engrave_v by_o the_o power_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n in_o a_o penitent_a break_a heart_n whereby_o he_o assure_o believe_v that_o

peculiar_a to_o they_o that_o shall_v be_v save_v and_o therefore_o without_o all_o contradiction_n it_o must_v be_v the_o first_o sort_n of_o faith_n which_o all_o the_o elect_a of_o god_n must_v have_v in_o some_o measure_n or_o other_o wrought_v by_o god_n spirit_n before_o he_o work_v either_o repentance_n or_o remission_n of_o sin_n which_o kind_n of_o faith_n may_v well_o be_v express_v in_o say_v that_o it_o be_v and_o it_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o sure_a knowledge_n and_o settle_a assent_n of_o the_o mind_n and_o heart_n by_o which_o a_o man_n most_o undoubted_o believe_v such_o thing_n as_o be_v reveal_v for_o the_o salvation_n of_o mankind_n now_o the_o second_o term_n in_o the_o text_n be_v baptise_v which_o word_n be_v likewise_o of_o divers_a signification_n in_o the_o scripture_n and_o he_o ought_v here_o to_o have_v deal_v like_o a_o skilful_a spiritual_a workman_n as_o before_o be_v express_v that_o be_v in_o the_o first_o place_n to_o have_v show_v the_o

say_v of_o the_o term_n baptism_n as_o of_o the_o term_n faith_n that_o it_o have_v divers_a disfinct_a and_o several_a meaning_n in_o the_o scripture_n sometime_o be_v mean_v by_o it_o external_a

of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n give_v to_o this_o new_a creature_n call_v baptism_n as_o also_o the_o enable_a grace_n in_o the_o holy_a conversation_n of_o this_o child_n of_o god_n his_o mortification_n and_o vivification_n be_v call_v baptism_n as_o also_o be_v his_o bless_a suffering_n for_o righteousness_n sake_n can_v you_o be_v baptise_v with_o the_o baptism_n that_o i_o be_o baptise_v with_o etc._n etc._n now_o mr._n doctor_n may_v it_o please_v you_o to_o learn_v which_o of_o all_o these_o distinct_a meaning_n be_v that_o which_o be_v intend_v by_o our_o lord_n and_o saviour_n the_o

that_o be_v from_o below_o and_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o the_o water_n of_o the_o great_a ocean_n spring_n or_o fountain_n to_o unharden_v the_o heart_n to_o convert_v a_o natural_a man_n to_o renew_v the_o sinner_n to_o sanctify_v the_o pollute_a then_o without_o all_o question_n it_o must_v be_v the_o baptism_n of_o repentance_n and_o remission_n of_o sin_n the_o wash_n of_o regeneration_n and_o renew_v of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n for_o whosoever_o be_v so_o baptise_v do_v so_o repent_v and_o believe_v shall_v be_v save_v now_o these_o thing_n consider_v i_o pray_v see_v
