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.

of_o their_o wit_n and_o scholarship_n in_o the_o understanding_n of_o the_o mind_n and_o will_v of_o god_n and_o find_v their_o art_n learn_v in_o the_o university_n to_o be_v one_o of_o the_o

and_o as_o they_o have_v receive_v the_o truth_n from_o the_o fountain_n of_o truth_n so_o be_v they_o make_v to_o speak_v and_o these_o soul_n can_v envy_v any_o man_n in_o who_o the_o truth_n be_v

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

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

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 soul_n where_o the_o truth_n have_v take_v possession_n in_o the_o heart_n and_o little_a comfort_n or_o content_n can_v that_o soul_n have_v in_o any_o thing_n create_v or_o act_v where_o the_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 knowledge_n thereof_o be_v attain_v the_o heart_n of_o man_n be_v in_o bondage_n either_o to_o the_o creature_n viz._n the_o world_n with_o the_o thing_n contain_v in_o it_o or_o else_o the_o work_n 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 heart_n but_o this_o be_v altogether_o in_o the_o head_n and_o the_o power_n of_o this_o say_v will_v not_o close_o with_o christ_n nor_o can_v close_v with_o christ_n in_o the_o divine_a nature_n 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 rather_o conform_v the_o heart_n to_o lust_n and_o lust_n to_o the_o heart_n and_o lust_n be_v lovely_a to_o the_o heart_n and_o the_o operation_n of_o the_o divine_a nature_n or_o faith_n issue_v out_o of_o and_o from_o the_o divine_a nature_n it_o kill_v lust_n in_o the_o heart_n and_o draw_v the_o heart_n with_o all_o its_o affection_n into_o the_o right_a centre_n and_o from_o hence_o it_o be_v that_o many_o in_o their_o form_n fall_v short_a of_o that_o which_o be_v the_o true_a centre_n and_o become_v enemy_n of_o christ_n and_o yet_o none_o preach_v christ_n nor_o pretend_v christ_n more_o than_o those_o but_o can_v you_o who_o be_v so_o complete_o congregat_v people_n think_v that_o you_o be_v any_o such_o as_o be_v the_o enemy_n of_o christ_n i_o doubt_v you_o will_v hardly_o

of_o christ_n shall_v be_v find_v enemy_n to_o christ_n but_o i_o fear_v you_o do_v not_o right_o understand_v what_o the_o cross_n of_o christ_n be_v and_o then_o how_o shall_v you_o be_v friend_n to_o it_o for_o i_o assure_v you_o none_o know_v the_o cross_n of_o christ_n but_o those_o who_o be_v right_o incorporate_v into_o the_o divine_a nature_n and_o that_o be_v not_o a_o incorporate_n in_o kirk-fellowship_n as_o you_o call_v it_o and_o while_o you_o be_v bind_v up_o in_o that_o incorporate_n i_o may_v upon_o safe_a ground_n conclude_v that_o you_o as_o yet_o know_v not_o what_o the_o cross_n signify_v but_o it_o may_v be_v that_o some_o among_o you_o will_v know_v what_o i_o mean_v by_o the_o cross_n of_o christ_n and_o will_v hear_v my_o opinion_n of_o the_o same_o for_o i_o know_v this_o be_v a_o time_n wherein_o man_n be_v addict_v to_o hear_v new_a thing_n but_o yet_o i_o have_v not_o any_o new_a thing_n to_o tell_v you_o for_o what_o i_o have_v to_o say_v to_o you_o be_v no_o more_o but_o such_o old_a tale_n as_o have_v former_o be_v tell_v both_o by_o christ_n and_o his_o true_a follower_n but_o when_o the_o follow_v of_o christ_n cease_v than_o the_o

apostle_n paul_n who_o oft_o insist_v upon_o this_o very_a subject_n viz._n the_o cross_n of_o christ_n but_o this_o be_v not_o the_o wooden_a cross_n upon_o the_o which_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n be_v crucify_v that_o be_v a_o type_n indeed_o of_o the_o other_o cross_n speak_v of_o by_o the_o apostle_n and_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o reference_n the_o one_o have_v to_o the_o other_o make_v

fellowship_n of_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n may_v daily_o be_v the_o fellowship_n of_o our_o heart_n and_o this_o be_v that_o which_o ought_v to_o be_v the_o centre_n of_o all_o heart_n
