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.

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

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

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
