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.

be_v not_o the_o water_n itself_o that_o save_v but_o the_o ark_n and_o it_o be_v not_o the_o ark_n can_v save_v but_o the_o live_n and_o abide_v in_o the_o ark_n and_o the_o water_n and_o the_o ark_n together_o do_v save_v the_o person_n in_o the_o ark_n for_o though_o the_o apostle_n say_v that_o these_o person_n be_v save_v by_o water_n how_o be_v it_o that_o they_o be_v save_v by_o water_n see_v it_o be_v water_n that_o will_v have_v destroy_v they_o as_o well_o as_o the_o rest_n and_o yet_o the_o same_o water_n save_v from_o the_o destruction_n of_o itself_o i_o will_v tell_v you_o how_o the_o water_n save_v the_o person_n from_o its_o own_o destruction_n even_o by_o its_o weakness_n it_o have_v to_o save_v and_o the_o nature_n of_o it_o be_v know_v to_o be_v destroy_v to_o

person_n into_o the_o ark_n but_o the_o ark_n itself_o be_v the_o chief_a cause_n of_o their_o save_n by_o their_o abide_n in_o it_o and_o so_o the_o apostle_n resemble_v baptism_n to_o it_o with_o the_o thing_n signify_v viz._n the_o resurrection_n of_o jesus_n christ_n from_o the_o dead_a for_o as_o the_o water_n save_v as_o beforesaid_a from_o the_o destruction_n of_o itself_o so_o do_v baptism_n as_o a_o instrument_n save_o all_o those_o who_o know_v the_o weakness_n of_o that_o type_n and_o from_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o weakness_n of_o it_o fear_v to_o be_v destroy_v by_o abide_v in_o it_o thereby_o the_o soul_n be_v lead_v from_o depend_v on_o it_o and_o so_o run_v into_o the_o ark_n viz._n into_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n by_o the_o cross_n of_o self-deniall_n and_o so_o into_o the_o resurrection_n of_o jesus_n christ_n from_o the_o dead_a viz._n not_o to_o look_v at_o christ_n in_o the_o flesh_n but_o in_o the_o divine_a nature_n by_o the_o power_n of_o which_o the_o soul_n be_v compass_v about_o and_o save_v from_o the_o danger_n of_o all_o thing_n act_v or_o create_v and_o thus_o far_o baptism_n save_v so_o far_o as_o the_o weakness_n of_o it_o be_v know_v and_o the_o danger_n in_o it_o manifest_v and_o so_o become_v instrumental_a to_o direct_v and_o drive_v the_o soul_n out_o of_o itself_o into_o the_o thing_n signify_v but_o as_o the_o water_n destroy_v all_o that_o abode_n in_o it_o without_o the_o ark_n even_o so_o do_v baptism_n destroy_v all_o soul_n who_o live_v in_o the_o form_n or_o type_n thereof_o and_o yet_o be_v not_o enclose_v about_o or_o incorporate_v into_o the_o death_n and_o resurrection_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o abide_v in_o he_o according_a as_o he_o be_v in_o the_o divine_a nature_n and_o as_o the_o

the_o vine_n jo._n 15.1_o 2._o but_o i_o say_v no_o more_o at_o present_a of_o this_o type_n of_o baptism_n because_o it_o may_v be_v you_o shall_v hear_v somewhat_o more_o of_o it_o afterward_o and_o

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

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

command_v god_n to_o work_v miracle_n in_o his_o immediate_a way_n but_o my_o friend_n i_o know_v full_a well_o where_o you_o err_v and_o what_o be_v the_o ground_n of_o your_o opinion_n even_o you_o who_o be_v the_o pure_a in_o this_o your_o freegrace_n tenet_n for_o even_o you_o who_o have_v some_o experience_n of_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n i_o know_v you_o know_v it_o be_v the_o goodness_n of_o god_n that_o free_v your_o soul_n from_o what_o they_o be_v captive_v with_o and_o that_o all_o your_o act_n can_v not_o do_v it_o till_o god_n himself_o bestow_v his_o freegrace_n upon_o you_o this_o i_o confess_v be_v truth_n but_o do_v every_o any_o of_o you_o find_v the_o freegrace_n of_o god_n make_v know_v to_o you_o before_o you_o have_v act_v to_o your_o utmost_a endeavour_n and_o be_v make_v to_o see_v the_o emptiness_n of_o your_o act_n i_o know_v as_o many_o of_o you_o as_o have_v know_v true_a freedom_n will_v confess_v this_o and_o can_v you_o tell_v i_o true_o that_o if_o you_o have_v not_o act_v and_o thereby_o see_v the_o emptiness_n of_o your_o act_n whether_o you_o shall_v have_v know_v the_o freeness_n of_o grace_n yea_o or_o nay_o but_o because_o that_o you_o be_v not_o free_v by_o your_o act_n be_v therefore_o act_n of_o none_o effect_v god_n forbid_v for_o though_o the_o apostle_n be_v not_o justify_v by_o the_o law_n yet_o do_v he_o not_o make_v void_v the_o law_n but_o count_v it_o of_o necessary_a use_n for_o thereby_o come_v the_o knowledge_n of_o sin_n rom._n 7.13_o so_o act_n though_o they_o do_v not_o justify_v yet_o by_o they_o man_n become_v to_o know_v the_o emptiness_n that_o be_v in_o they_o for_o before_o any_o action_n be_v bring_v out_o the_o goodness_n or_o badness_n of_o it_o can_v be_v know_v and_o it_o be_v as_o natural_a to_o man_n to_o depend_v upon_o his_o act_n as_o the_o skin_n cleave_v to_o his_o flesh_n and_o man_n can_v be_v free_v from_o depend_v thereon_o until_o he_o true_o see_v the_o evil_a in_o they_o and_o he_o can_v see_v the_o evil_n in_o they_o until_o they_o be_v bring_v out_o and_o until_o he_o see_v the_o evil_a in_o they_o he_o can_v be_v justify_v by_o freegrace_n and_o for_o this_o very_a purpose_n god_n have_v give_v man_n power_n to_o act_v and_o give_v out_o command_n that_o he_o shall_v act_v that_o thereby_o man_n may_v be_v bring_v to_o see_v what_o be_v in_o his_o act_n and_o how_o far_o he_o can_v recover_v out_o of_o his_o fall_a condition_n by_o his_o act_n that_o so_o where_o he_o come_v short_a he_o may_v know_v the_o goodness_n of_o god_n in_o his_o restauration_n and_o therefore_o while_o you_o pretend_v and_o preach_v faith_n so_o much_o you_o bring_v but_o the_o soul_n of_o the_o people_n into_o a_o snare_n and_o they_o be_v in_o as_o great_a danger_n to_o perish_v by_o your_o doctrine_n as_o be_v the_o soul_n of_o those_o people_n who_o be_v teach_v to_o merit_v heaven_n by_o their_o act_n for_o you_o run_v as_o far_o in_o your_o extreme_a as_o they_o do_v in_o their_o extreme_a but_o i_o will_v have_v you_o to_o take_v notice_n of_o one_o thing_n viz._n in_o case_n you_o have_v be_v free_v by_o grace_n whether_o have_v your_o spirit_n or_o your_o flesh_n get_v better_o hold_v of_o the_o freedom_n if_o your_o spirit_n have_v get_v the_o freedom_n then_o be_v your_o flesh_n in_o bondage_n and_o then_o be_v sure_a it_o will_v be_v strive_v for_o freedom_n and_o i_o believe_v you_o shall_v have_v no_o great_a quiet_a so_o long_o as_o it_o have_v any_o power_n to_o move_v for_o though_o your_o spirit_n may_v be_v free_v from_o the_o condemn_v of_o your_o conscience_n yet_o i_o believe_v your_o spirit_n be_v not_o free_v from_o the_o strive_n of_o the_o flesh_n but_o in_o case_n the_o flesh_n have_v steal_v your_o freedom_n from_o the_o spirit_n than_o its_o possible_a all_o will_v be_v quiet_a within_o and_o then_o no_o marvel_n if_o you_o cry_v up_o freegrace_n so_o fast_o but_o let_v i_o tell_v you_o one_o thing_n he_o that_o know_v most_o of_o freegrace_n know_v most_o of_o bondage_n with_o it_o this_o may_v seem_v a_o paradox_n to_o you_o but_o if_o you_o know_v not_o what_o i_o mean_v you_o may_v take_v it_o for_o grant_v that_o your_o flesh_n have_v get_v the_o great_a part_n of_o your_o freegrace_n and_o than_o while_o you_o tell_v other_o people_n of_o freedom_n by_o grace_n you_o yourselves_o become_v the_o servant_n of_o sin_n 2_o pet._n 2.19_o look_v into_o your_o own_o heart_n and_o try_v whether_o this_o be_v true_a or_o not_o for_o if_o you_o find_v your_o heart_n and_o affection_n carry_v out_o
