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.

height_n of_o his_o kingdom_n will_v be_v but_o i_o can_v wish_v those_o poor_a blind_a fool_n among_o you_o to_o turn_v their_o eye_n inward_a and_o look_v for_o the_o reign_v of_o christ_n in_o

they_o be_v so_o carry_v out_o in_o their_o fancy_n be_v because_o they_o find_v life_n in_o the_o liberty_n of_o their_o form_n and_o so_o be_v carry_v out_o from_o the_o meddle_v with_o the_o evil_a that_o be_v in_o their_o own_o heart_n and_o therefore_o not_o know_v the_o mystery_n of_o selfnesse_n in_o they_o the_o devil_n have_v power_n to_o work_v in_o their_o fancy_n and_o make_v they_o look_v for_o such_o thing_n to_o be_v fulfil_v outward_o as_o shall_v in_o their_o time_n and_o order_n be_v fulfil_v inward_o and_o all_o this_o happen_v because_o of_o the_o form_n of_o godliness_n without_o the_o power_n of_o god_n and_o as_o yet_o they_o have_v not_o receive_v the_o truth_n as_o it_o be_v in_o jesus_n neither_o do_v they_o love_v the_o truth_n nor_o can_v love_v it_o because_o they_o do_v not_o know_v it_o and_o for_o this_o cause_n god_n send_v such_o very_a strong_a delusion_n 2_o thess_n 2.8_o 9_o but_o to_o let_v these_o pass_v with_o their_o fantastic_a conceit_n i_o will_v speak_v a_o word_n in_o general_a to_o you_o as_o i_o find_v you_o state_v in_o a_o form_n to_o which_o you_o keep_v as_o close_v in_o your_o order_n as_o do_v the_o presbyterian_o yea_o and_o

and_o you_o all_o dance_n after_o one_o pipe_n and_o can_v agree_v to_o hear_v its_o music_n for_o that_o melody_n please_v you_o all_o and_o this_o musicioner_n be_v the_o devil_n and_o his_o pipe_n

all_o in_o one_o yet_o you_o who_o be_v of_o the_o order_n of_o independency_n i_o must_v confess_v have_v something_o among_o you_o in_o your_o form_n which_o i_o honour_v and_o approve_v of_o you_o for_o it_o as_o you_o be_v formalist_n and_o that_o be_v because_o you_o have_v not_o as_o yet_o tie_v or_o constrain_v any_o to_o observe_v the_o same_o way_n of_o worship_n with_o you_o but_o as_o yet_o leave_v every_o one_o to_o his_o own_o freedom_n in_o way_n of_o worship_n in_o case_n he_o or_o they_o be_v not_o open_a blasphemer_n so_o far_o all_o be_v well_o and_o further_o you_o be_v not_o altogether_o so_o hidebound_a to_o the_o unsent_a priest_n as_o the_o presbyterian_o be_v though_o i_o know_v you_o can_v as_o yet_o clear_o see_v what_o they_o be_v and_o therefore_o you_o can_v altogether_o forsake_v they_o and_o therefore_o be_v so_o far_o in_o bondage_n to_o they_o i_o know_v likewise_o you_o have_v some_o among_o you_o call_v minister_n who_o be_v of_o somewhat_o

confess_v some_o of_o they_o have_v get_v a_o dark_a notion_n of_o the_o truth_n in_o the_o divine_a nature_n and_o yet_o all_o end_v but_o in_o a_o better_o regulate_v form_n for_o as_o for_o the_o proper_a operation_n of_o the_o truth_n as_o it_o be_v in_o christ_n i_o have_v not_o as_o yet_o see_v any_o great_a effect_n either_o among_o you_o or_o your_o minister_n for_o the_o natural_a operation_n of_o the_o truth_n turn_v the_o heart_n out_o of_o centre_v in_o form_n though_o never_o so_o well_o regulate_v neither_o will_v the_o power_n of_o the_o truth_n suffer_v the_o heart_n to_o be_v carry_v out_o to_o the_o world_n or_o any_o create_a thing_n whatsoever_o but_o all_o the_o fear_n care_n love_n and_o desire_n of_o any_o thing_n below_o god_n be_v subdue_v in_o that_o

truth_n as_o it_o be_v in_o jesus_n be_v right_o know_v and_o until_o the_o truth_n in_o jesus_n viz._n in_o the_o divine_a nature_n be_v receive_v and_o from_o the_o receive_n thereof_o the_o

and_o act_n of_o the_o creature_n viz._n form_n of_o religion_n of_o some_o fashion_n or_o other_o and_o all_o thing_n create_v or_o act_v tend_v to_o bondage_n and_o man_n may_v be_v in_o captivity_n to_o either_o of_o these_o or_o to_o both_o and_o yet_o know_v it_o not_o but_o think_v themselves_o free_a and_o the_o reason_n be_v because_o they_o never_o find_v bondage_n in_o their_o captivity_n but_o rather_o freedom_n and_o indeed_o while_o man_n live_v in_o a_o form_n he_o know_v not_o the_o bondage_n of_o that_o form_n but_o find_v freedom_n in_o the_o form_n yea_o more_o freedom_n then_o before_o he_o take_v the_o form_n upon_o he_o for_o before_o he_o take_v the_o form_n upon_o he_o his_o conscience_n have_v power_n to_o condemn_v but_o now_o in_o the_o form_n blind_a conscience_n be_v satisfy_v and_o so_o the_o heart_n have_v more_o liberty_n to_o centre_n in_o the_o create_a thing_n and_o yet_o can_v please_v conscience_n with_o act_v thing_n and_o thus_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n be_v roundly_o carry_v on_o in_o form_n and_o the_o world_n and_o the_o worship_n thereof_o go_v on_o as_o roundly_o in_o the_o heart_n and_o no_o bondage_n at_o all_o feel_v in_o any_o of_o these_o thing_n no_o more_o than_o the_o jew_n who_o boast_v of_o be_v abraham_n seed_n and_o never_o be_v in_o bondage_n jo._n 8._o but_o the_o reason_n why_o bondage_n be_v not_o feel_v in_o thing_n act_v and_o thing_n create_v be_v because_o the_o truth_n of_o god_n be_v never_o true_o know_v among_o you_o but_o i_o confess_v you_o have_v a_o zeal_n but_o not_o according_a to_o knowledge_n and_o you_o have_v a_o knowledge_n but_o not_o according_a to_o the_o truth_n for_o that_o knowledge_n you_o have_v be_v but_o according_a to_o christ_n in_o the_o flesh_n and_o that_o be_v but_o either_o relative_a or_o artificial_a out_o of_o which_o arise_v a_o historical_a faith_n and_o this_o point_v at_o and_o close_v with_o christ_n as_o he_o be_v in_o the_o corporal_a or_o humane_a nature_n and_o this_o you_o may_v have_v and_o indeed_o none_o other_o can_v you_o have_v while_o you_o live_v in_o form_n and_o this_o be_v not_o a_o knowledge_n in_o the_o heart_n or_o a_o faith_n in_o the_o

for_o that_o faith_n in_o the_o head_n according_a to_o christ_n in_o the_o flesh_n be_v always_o a_o enemy_n to_o christ_n as_o he_o

be_v in_o the_o divine_a nature_n and_o the_o reason_n be_v because_o that_o the_o faith_n according_a to_o christ_n in_o the_o flesh_n do_v not_o take_v away_o lust_n out_o of_o the_o heart_n but_o

have_v receive_v the_o same_o so_o they_o teach_v you_o and_o so_o you_o believe_v but_o neither_o you_o nor_o the_o priest_n have_v any_o sure_a ground_n in_o scripture_n for_o use_v this_o type_n in_o the_o manner_n or_o person_n to_o who_o you_o have_v it_o administer_v viz._n infant_n for_o no_o sure_a ground_n you_o have_v for_o this_o your_o act_n but_o only_o your_o good_a think_n which_o

neither_o do_v i_o mean_v in_o this_o my_o discourse_n to_o dispute_v about_o form_n which_o be_v but_o weak_a and_o beggarly_a thing_n for_o i_o will_v leave_v this_o to_o yourselves_o and_o to_o the_o anabaptist_n to_o dispute_v be_v both_o you_o and_o they_o live_v in_o form_n and_o can_v envy_v one_o another_o in_o your_o form_n and_o persecute_v one_o another_o for_o your_o form_n and_o therefore_o among_o yourselves_o you_o be_v the_o meet_a to_o end_v that_o thing_n either_o by_o your_o disputation_n or_o by_o your_o sword_n but_o as_o for_o i_o i_o have_v no_o calling_n to_o

may_v both_o become_v wise_a in_o that_o which_o be_v the_o power_n and_o true_a wisdom_n itself_o without_o which_o you_o shall_v all_o perish_v in_o your_o form_n now_o in_o the_o first_o place_n i_o come_v to_o speak_v a_o word_n of_o your_o conclusion_n you_o draw_v from_o this_o type_n of_o baptism_n viz._n that_o it_o be_v a_o holy_a thing_n and_o that_o by_o administer_a the_o same_o to_o infant_n they_o become_v incorporate_v into_o christ_n and_o in_o case_n any_o infant_n die_v before_o it_o be_v baptize_v you_o question_v whether_o it_o go_v to_o heaven_n or_o no_o and_o in_o case_n one_o live_v and_o be_v not_o baptize_v that_o he_o be_v not_o or_o can_v be_v incorporate_v into_o christ_n and_o so_o you_o make_v this_o type_n a_o god_n or_o a_o christ_n by_o way_n of_o consequence_n though_o you_o deny_v the_o same_o with_o your_o tongue_n and_o i_o do_v positive_o deny_v all_o your_o conclusion_n and_o the_o consequence_n draw_v from_o your_o conclusion_n be_v make_v a_o god_n this_o i_o do_v affirm_v and_o will_v prove_v the_o truth_n both_o of_o what_o i_o deny_v and_o what_o i_o affirm_v now_o your_o conclusion_n be_v fourfold_a i_o come_v to_o the_o first_o viz._n that_o baptism_n be_v holy_a which_o i_o both_o deny_v and_o confess_v this_o may_v seem_v logical_a but_o it_o be_v not_o so_o as_o you_o shall_v see_v in_o define_v my_o own_o speech_n first_o i_o confess_v it_o may_v be_v call_v holy_a as_o sometime_o outward_a and_o create_v thing_n have_v that_o epithet_n put_v upon_o they_o when_o they_o be_v set_v apart_o for_o somepious_a end_n as_o the_o vessel_n in_o the_o temple_n and_o other_o material_n belong_v to_o it_o numb_a 31.6_o and_o likewise_o thing_n in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o law_n which_o be_v choose_v and_o set_v apart_o for_o the_o sacrifice_n and_o so_o the_o scripture_n be_v call_v holy_a 2_o tim._n 3.15_o and_o so_o the_o work_n of_o man_n be_v sometime_o call_v holy_a but_o all_o these_o be_v but_o call_v holy_a in_o respect_n of_o the_o end_n and_o the_o thing_n point_v out_o or_o signify_v and_o this_o be_v but_o a_o outward_a or_o external_a holiness_n and_o this_o i_o confess_v but_o that_o holiness_n which_o you_o blind_o put_v upon_o outward_a thing_n or_o type_n that_o i_o deny_v and_o so_o in_o this_o type_n of_o baptism_n i_o deny_v any_o further_a holiness_n than_o what_o be_v external_a and_o all_o external_a holiness_n a_o man_n may_v have_v and_o act_n and_o live_v in_o all_o the_o particular_n thereof_o and_o yet_o go_v to_o bear_v the_o devil_n company_n in_o hell_n with_o it_o if_o he_o have_v no_o more_o mat._n 5.20_o but_o yet_o you_o will_v deny_v that_o you_o give_v any_o holiness_n to_o this_o type_n but_o what_o belong_v to_o it_o the_o which_o i_o shall_v confute_v in_o speak_v of_o your_o second_o conclusion_n wherein_o you_o affirm_v that_o by_o the_o administring_n of_o the_o same_o a_o child_n become_v incorporate_v or_o ingraft_v into_o christ_n the_o which_o be_v a_o false_a and_o blind_a conclusion_n without_o any_o ground_n in_o scripture_n and_o this_o you_o have_v receive_v by_o tradition_n from_o the_o popish_a fiction_n and_o in_o this_o your_o conclusion_n you_o have_v make_v this_o type_n no_o less_o than_o god_n himself_o as_o here_o i_o prove_v it_o for_o there_o be_v no_o act_n of_o any_o creature_n can_v engraft_v into_o christ_n and_o this_o be_v no_o more_o i_o hope_v then_o the_o act_n of_o a_o creature_n and_o but_o a_o bodily_a work_n and_o bodily_a service_n profit_v nothing_o 1_o tim._n 4.8_o and_o our_o

for_o those_o be_v they_o that_o walk_v contrary_a to_o scripture_n by_o tradition_n and_o though_o you_o confess_v the_o truth_n with_o your_o tongue_n yet_o in_o your_o action_n you_o deny_v the_o
