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.

at_o present_a but_o to_o proceed_v i_o speak_v a_o word_n of_o another_o principal_a ground_n of_o your_o religion_n viz._n your_o blind_a zeal_n in_o be_v so_o carry_v out_o to_o hear_v the_o

after_o they_o and_o in_o this_o mad_a zeal_n you_o have_v live_v and_o do_v live_v in_o and_o in_o so_o do_v you_o think_v you_o do_v god_n service_n and_o seek_v to_o honour_v he_o by_o attend_v of_o his_o ordinance_n o_o poor_a blind_a cheat_v soul_n i_o pity_v you_o for_o your_o great_a ignorance_n herein_o for_o i_o be_v in_o your_o condition_n former_o and_o i_o have_v as_o great_a zeal_n in_o that_o way_n as_o any_o of_o you_o have_v or_o can_v have_v and_o i_o have_v the_o same_o thought_n of_o duty_n that_o you_o have_v yea_o and_o i_o dote_v in_o my_o madness_n upon_o these_o your_o false_a priest_n and_o do_v very_o much_o adore_v they_o i_o be_o sure_a as_o much_o as_o you_o can_v do_v and_o i_o own_v they_o as_o the_o ordinance_n oracle_n and_o minister_n of_o god_n but_o when_o the_o love_a kindness_n of_o god_n appear_v to_o i_o and_o that_o he_o be_v please_v to_o make_v the_o way_n of_o his_o truth_n know_v to_o i_o than_o do_v i_o see_v my_o great_a folly_n and_o madness_n and_o then_o be_v manifest_v to_o i_o the_o great_a deceit_n of_o the_o priest_n and_o more_o and_o more_o as_o god_n be_v please_v to_o own_v i_o and_o teach_v i_o so_o more_o and_o more_o they_o be_v discover_v to_o i_o and_o out_o of_o my_o love_n and_o pity_n towards_o you_o as_o my_o own_o flesh_n and_o blood_n i_o give_v you_o warning_n of_o they_o for_o they_o be_v none_o

therefore_o as_o all_o the_o rest_n of_o your_o duty_n and_o performance_n teach_v you_o by_o they_o be_v but_o by_o their_o own_o wisdom_n invention_n so_o be_v this_o also_o for_o this_o duty_n of_o

to_o uphold_v themselves_o and_o destroy_v other_o who_o have_v god_n more_o clear_o manifest_v in_o they_o then_o themselves_o and_o thus_o have_v they_o become_v the_o man_n of_o sin_n who_o exalt_v
