christ_n in_o his_o conscience_n say_v in_o this_o thing_n the_o lord_n pardon_v thy_o servant_n that_o when_o my_o master_n go_v into_o the_o house_n of_o rimmon_n to_o worship_n there_o and_o he_o lean_v on_o my_o hand_n and_o i_o bow_v myself_o in_o the_o house_n of_o rimmon_n when_o i_o bow_v down_o myself_o in_o the_o house_n of_o rimmon_n the_o lord_n pardon_v thy_o servant_n in_o this_o thing_n read_v yourselves_o you_o that_o be_v call_v baptist_n and_o behold_v your_o face_n as_o in_o a_o glass_n how_o many_o of_o such_o spot_n naaman-like_a have_v you_o in_o your_o face_n be_v there_o no_o house_n of_o rimmon_n now_o that_o you_o need_v to_o beg_v pardon_n for_o bow_v in_o it_o if_o not_o for_o repair_v of_o it_o and_o not_o only_o so_o but_o for_o maitain_v those_o priest_n that_o worship_v in_o this_o rimmons_n house_n and_o here_o sure_o you_o have_v need_n of_o pardon_n and_o in_o this_o you_o exceed_v naaman_n for_o he_o only_o bow_v in_o rimmons_n house_n but_o you_o pay_v tithe_n or_o maintenance_n to_o rimmons_n priest_n or_o some_o not_o much_o unlike_a to_o they_o and_o some_o of_o you_o do_v hear_v they_o and_o call_v they_o good_a man_n and_o therefore_o leave_v off_o any_o more_o name_v of_o naaman_n the_o assyrian_a except_o to_o manifest_v your_o own_o transgression_n for_o have_v you_o baptist_n in_o england_n be_v faithful_a to_o god_n according_a to_o your_o confession_n and_o judgement_n have_v tithe_n be_v this_o day_n stand_v in_o england_n and_o have_v there_o be_v a_o hireling_n ministry_n in_o england_n as_o it_o be_v at_o this_o day_n have_v you_o baptist_n and_o separate_v people_n be_v faithful_a to_o god_n but_o then_o will_v you_o have_v be_v still_o gazing-stock_n to_o many_o as_o some_o of_o you_o have_v be_v in_o year_n past_a while_o you_o keep_v your_o first_o love_n and_o abode_n in_o your_o tenderness_n and_o integrity_n but_o ah_o dear_n people_n consider_v your_o loss_n what_o a_o exchange_n have_v you_o make_v that_o loose_a your_o acquaintance_n with_o god_n to_o gain_v peace_n with_o the_o world_n and_o be_v it_o not_o plain_a in_o that_o many_o of_o you_o through_o the_o subtle_a distinction_n find_v out_o by_o some_o of_o your_o teacher_n can_v now_o do_v those_o thing_n without_o remorse_n which_o sometime_o you_o dare_v not_o do_v and_o how_o do_v you_o like_o naaman_n the_o assyrian_a dispense_n with_o some_o of_o christ_n command_n &_o cry_v up_o other_o for_o command_n which_o he_o have_v not_o command_v be_v not_o tithe_n mint_n and_o cummin_n pay_v while_o the_o great_a and_o weighty_a matter_n be_v leave_v undo_v do_v not_o say_v i_o charge_v you_o false_o be_v not_o respect_n of_o person_n forbid_v and_o be_v not_o all_o swear_v forbid_v do_v you_o not_o in_o these_o and_o other_o thing_n not_o only_o respect_v person_n and_o make_v god_n so_o to_o be_v but_o respect_v his_o command_n also_o plead_v for_o some_o and_o neglectieg_n other_o be_v not_o this_o like_a naaman_n after_o many_o good_a word_n and_o fair_a confession_n do_v you_o not_o know_v that_o faithfulness_n in_o these_o thing_n will_v still_o keep_v you_o at_o the_o same_o distance_n from_o the_o world_n not_o only_o to_o have_v be_v but_o so_o to_o continue_v as_o sign_n and_o wonder_n but_o be_v it_o not_o better_a than_o with_o you_o than_o it_o be_v now_o therefore_o return_v to_o your_o first_o love_n and_o cry_v in_o truth_n and_o righteousness_n mighty_o to_o the_o lord_n not_o like_o naaman_n to_o pardon_v you_o not_o only_o in_o these_o thing_n but_o for_o all_o your_o unfaithfulness_n to_o god_n that_o in_o the_o light_n that_o let_v you_o see_v your_o evil_n you_o may_v wait_v to_o be_v wash_v from_o they_o by_o the_o blood_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o than_o you_o need_v not_o plead_v for_o any_o heathenish_a custom_n to_o manifest_v your_o duty_n by_o but_o in_o faithfulness_n to_o god_n yield_v obedience_n to_o parent_n master_n magistrate_n etc._n etc._n which_o be_v sufficient_o manifest_a by_o yield_a obedience_n to_o all_o just_a command_n and_o be_v honour_n enough_o to_o all_o these_o and_o other_o relation_n that_o they_o have_v the_o honour_n that_o come_v from_o god_n only_o give_v to_o they_o with_o which_o they_o ought_v to_o be_v content_v and_o not_o to_o seek_v honour_n one_o of_o another_o nor_o to_o be_v angry_a because_o their_o person_n be_v not_o respect_v nor_o flatter_a title_n give_v to_o they_o then_o thou_o come_v to_o answer_v thomas_n whites_n query_n 1._o what_o command_n or_o commission_n have_v you_o or_o any_o man_n to_o baptise_v with_o water_n from_o christ_n declare_v in_o any_o scripture_n which_o command_n do_v not_o as_o well_o extend_v to_o paul_n who_o be_v a_o apostle_n as_o to_o any_o of_o you_o to_o this_o thou_o say_v paul_n have_v the_o same_o command_n or_o commission_n to_o baptise_v with_o water_n as_o any_o man_n now_o have_v or_o any_o man_n ever_o have_v for_o the_o command_n to_o baptise_v in_o water_n be_v give_v to_o christ_n disciple_n and_o be_v not_o tie_v to_o the_o office_n of_o the_o apostleship_n but_o as_o more_o disciple_n be_v make_v successive_o so_o be_v they_o successive_o to_o be_v teach_v to_o observe_v what_o ever_o christ_n have_v command_v they_o viz._n the_o precede_a disciple_n and_o so_o though_o paul_n as_o a_o apostle_n be_v not_o send_v to_o baptise_v yet_o as_o a_o disciple_n he_o have_v good_a warrant_n so_o to_o do_v yet_o see_v some_o in_o the_o church_n of_o corinth_n be_v ready_a to_o idolise_v his_o ministry_n and_o the_o work_n of_o baptism_n may_v as_o well_o be_v do_v by_o other_o disciple_n that_o be_v not_o apostle_n he_o thank_v god_n he_o baptise_a not_o more_o of_o they_o to_o prevent_v no_o doubt_n any_o say_n he_o have_v baptise_a they_o into_o his_o own_o name_n this_o be_v thy_o answer_n and_o thou_o sum_v up_o thy_o answer_n in_o these_o word_n thus_o you_o see_v paul_n commission_n to_o baptise_v with_o water_n as_o good_a as_o any_o man_n now_o and_o so_o his_o commission_n and_o we_o also_o be_v both_o good_a which_o be_v a_o full_a answer_n to_o the_o query_n but_o such_o a_o one_o as_o darken_v council_n by_o word_n without_o knowledge_n for_o it_o be_v not_o doubt_v but_o paul_n commission_n be_v as_o good_a as_o you_o but_o it_o be_v question_v whether_o you_o be_v so_o good_a as_o he_o see_v paul_n command_n be_v good_a to_o he_o make_v not_o you_o good_a to_o you_o no_o more_o than_o his_o faith_n be_v right_o make_v you_o right_a but_o in_o this_o thy_o answer_n thou_o grant_v that_o you_o have_v no_o command_n to_o baptise_v with_o water_n etc._n etc._n but_o the_o same_o belong_v to_o paul_n as_o well_o as_o you_o and_o to_o save_v the_o consequence_n which_o must_v needs_o follow_v viz._n that_o you_o do_v that_o which_o you_o be_v not_o send_v to_o do_v say_v you_o have_v no_o command_n but_o what_o paul_n have_v and_o he_o say_v he_o be_v not_o send_v to_o baptise_v and_o no_o more_o be_v any_o of_o you_o by_o thy_o own_o confession_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v high_a time_n to_o leave_v it_o off_o but_o thou_o not_o be_v willing_a to_o part_v with_o it_o so_o like_o micah_n be_v ready_a to_o say_v what_o have_v i_o more_o and_o what_o be_v this_o you_o say_v unto_o i_o what_o ail_v thou_o judg._n 18.23_o 24._o and_o therefore_o say_v thou_o that_o the_o command_n be_v give_v to_o christ_n disciple_n and_o be_v not_o tie_v to_o the_o office_n of_o apostleship_n what_o a_o slubberly_a answer_n be_v this_o be_v not_o those_o to_o who_o the_o command_n be_v give_v apostle_n be_v they_o not_o call_v apostle_n in_o mat._n 10_o and_o when_o he_o have_v call_v unto_o he_o his_o twelve_o disciple_n he_o give_v they_o power_n etc._n etc._n and_o at_o the_o next_o vers_fw-la now_o the_o name_n of_o the_o twelve_o apostle_n be_v these_o etc._n etc._n and_o at_o luke_n 6.13_o and_o when_o it_o be_v day_n he_o call_v unto_o he_o his_o disciple_n and_o of_o they_o he_o choose_v twelve_o who_o also_o he_o name_v apostle_n so_o that_o these_o be_v also_o apostle_n as_o well_o as_o disciple_n to_o who_o the_o command_n be_v give_v disciple_n when_o he_o call_v they_o and_o out_o of_o they_o choose_v twelve_o and_o when_o he_o have_v teach_v they_o what_o to_o do_v than_o they_o be_v call_v apostle_n disciple_n when_o they_o come_v to_o christ_n apostles_n when_o they_o go_v from_o christ_n and_o be_v impower_v what_o to_o do_v and_o christ_n call_v they_o disciple_n in_o mat._n 28._o do_v no_o more_o take_v away_o the_o apostleship_n than_o christ_n call_v they_o apostle_n in_o mat._n 10._o and_o luke_n 6._o take_v away_o their_o discipleship_n and_o therefore_o to_o say_v paul_n be_v
thy_o brethren_n than_o thou_o be_v at_o present_a sensible_a of_o but_o if_o repentance_n prevent_v not_o in_o time_n thou_o may_v feel_v the_o weight_n in_o thy_o 2._o page_n thou_o say_v that_o thou_o do_v wish_v that_o thomas_n white_a and_o his_o friend_n may_v also_o careful_o walk_v by_o the_o rule_n t.w._n prescribe_v to_o thou_o and_o thy_o friend_n then_o thou_o say_v he_o will_v be_v so_o far_o from_o speak_v against_o his_o holy_a appointment_n that_o he_o will_v love_v and_o keep_v they_o may_v thou_o not_o be_v judge_v out_o of_o thy_o own_o mouth_n do_v thomas_n white_n shoot_v a_o fiery_a dart_n and_o do_v thou_o not_o shoot_v a_o poison_a arrow_n and_o do_v not_o thou_o charge_v he_o with_o speak_v against_o god_n holy_a appointment_n and_o as_o if_o he_o neither_o

in_o thomas_n white_a and_o do_v thou_o judge_v it_o so_o and_o therefore_o say_v that_o thou_o think_v that_o he_o ought_v to_o be_v deep_o humble_v before_o the_o lord_n for_o the_o same_o because_o he_o say_v while_o many_o of_o you_o be_v profess_v pray_v and_o yet_o stumble_v at_o &_o contend_v against_o that_o in_o which_o alone_a all_o worship_n etc._n etc._n be_v accept_v in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n be_v his_o offence_n so_o great_a because_o he_o do_v not_o name_v they_o though_o he_o know_v they_o and_o be_v thy_o offence_n mitigate_v because_o thou_o name_v thomas_n white_a but_o charge_v he_o false_o with_o that_o which_o thou_o can_v not_o prove_v against_o he_o and_o yet_o call_v thy_o say_n a_o plea_n for_o truth_n &_o c_o as_o if_o thy_o title_n to_o thy_o book_n be_v to_o privilege_v thy_o calumny_n and_o authority_n sufficient_a to_o pass_v thy_o reproach_n without_o a_o review_n or_o far_a examination_n but_o thy_o beautiful_a title_n be_v but_o like_o the_o pharisee_n beautify_v the_o outside_n of_o the_o cup_n and_o platter_n while_o the_o inside_n be_v foul_a and_o like_o pilate_n who_o write_v a_o good_a title_n over_o christ_n call_v he_o king_n of_o the_o jew_n but_o deliver_v he_o up_o to_o be_v crucify_v as_o a_o blasphemer_n so_o thy_o fair_a title_n do_v but_o aggravate_v thy_o offence_n in_o that_o thou_o slander_v the_o innocent_a and_o call_v it_o a_o plea_n for_o truth_n in_o love_n to_o truth_n as_o if_o light_a and_o darkness_n can_v unite_v together_o and_o truth_n and_o falsehood_n marry_v each_o other_o which_o neither_o can_v be_v neither_o shall_v they_o go_v unpunished_a who_o go_v about_o to_o reconcile_v they_o in_o the_o 3._o page_n of_o thy_o book_n thou_o ask_v thomas_n white_a in_o those_o word_n why_o do_v thou_o
