A12211	A friendly advertisement to the pretended Catholickes of Ireland declaring, for their satisfaction; that both the Kings supremacie, and the faith whereof his Majestie is the defender, are consonant to the doctrine delivered in the holy Scriptures, and writings of the ancient fathers. And consequently, that the lawes and statutes enacted in that behalfe, are dutifully to be observed by all his Majesties subjects within that kingdome. By Christopher Sibthorp, Knight, one of his Maiesties iustices of his court of chiefe place in Ireland. In the end whereof, is added an epistle written to the author, by the Reverend Father in God, Iames Vssher Bishop of Meath: wherein it is further manifested, that the religion anciently professed in Ireland is, for substance, the same with that, which at this day is by publick authoritie established therein.	Sibthorp, Christopher, Sir, d. 1632.; Ussher, James, 1581-1656.	1622 (1622)	STC 22522; ESTC S102408	494,750	610

purpose_n &_o intention_n christ_n die_v not_o for_o the_o redemption_n of_o all_o in_o a_o generality_n but_o of_o the_o elect_a only_o who_o he_o so_o especial_o and_o entire_o love_v in_o like_a

if_o all_o in_o a_o generality_n aswell_o bad_a as_o good_a and_o reproprobate_a aswell_o as_o elect_a shall_v have_v redemption_n by_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n it_o shall_v be_v a_o eternal_a

these_o virtue_n attribute_v unto_o it_o namely_o to_o cleanse_v from_o all_o sin_n to_o reconcile_v to_o justify_v to_o sanctify_v and_o to_o save_v sinner_n see_v then_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n

therefore_o do_v the_o saint_n and_o elect_a people_n of_o god_n in_o the_o revelation_n sing_v this_o song_n unto_o that_o immaculate_a lamb_n christ_n jesus_n say_v thus_o thou_o be_v worthy_a to_o

which_o he_o make_v to_o the_o law_n and_o to_o god_n wrath_n and_o justice_n bear_v the_o person_n only_o of_o the_o elect_n to_o clear_v and_o set_v they_o free_a insomuch_o that_o of_o they_o

which_o manner_n of_o speech_n it_o be_v evident_a that_o the_o elect_n and_o elect_v only_o be_v account_v his_o member_n and_o knit_v and_o conjoin_v unto_o he_o yea_o such_o be_v this_o near_a

therefore_o it_o be_v apparent_a that_o the_o reprobate_n which_o be_v to_o be_v damn_v be_v never_o in_o christ_n jesus_n nor_o make_v satisfaction_n to_o god_n justice_n in_o he_o for_o their_o

more_o evident_a by_o this_o that_o christ_n jesus_n himself_o do_v direct_o disclaim_v all_o reprobate_n in_o the_o prayer_n which_o he_o make_v in_o the_o behalf_n of_o all_o the_o elect_n 17.9_o

this_o well_o for_o here_o you_o see_v that_o christ_n pray_v and_o make_v intercession_n only_o for_o the_o elect_a and_o utter_o disclaim_v to_o pray_v for_o the_o world_n that_o be_v for_o the_o

bread_n and_o wine_n in_o the_o lord_n supper_n receive_v you_o will_v then_o demand_v why_o or_o in_o what_o sense_n it_o be_v that_o in_o the_o scripture_n the_o water_n in_o baptism_n be_v say_v to_o cleanse_v to_o sanctify_v to_o regenerate_v i_o answer_v that_o it_o be_v say_v so_o to_o do_v not_o that_o it_o have_v these_o virtue_n enclose_v in_o it_o 3.5_o or_o do_v these_o thing_n efficient_o or_o material_o but_o for_o that_o it_o do_v they_o sacramental_o and_o significative_o that_o be_v to_o say_v in_o plain_a term_n because_o the_o water_n in_o baptism_n be_v a_o sacrament_n sign_n and_o seal_v unto_o we_o of_o that_o regeneration_n sanctification_n and_o cleanse_v which_o we_o have_v through_o christ_n 26._o for_o it_o be_v god_n spirit_n that_o efficient_o work_v faith_n repentance_n regeneration_n sanctification_n or_o whatsoever_o other_o supernatural_a grace_n in_o a_o man_n and_o not_o the_o element_n of_o water_n and_o therefore_o also_o do_v s._n john_n baptist_n say_v to_o those_o who_o he_o baptize_v thus_o 14._o i_o baptise_v you_o with_o water_n unto_o repentance_n but_o he_o that_o come_v after_o i_o be_v mighty_a than_o i_o who_o shoe_n i_o be_o not_o worthy_a to_o bear_v he_o shall_v baptise_v you_o with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n where_o you_o plain_o see_v that_o s._n john_n baptist_n acknowledge_v that_o he_o in_o his_o baptism_n administer_v by_o he_o give_v but_o water_n and_o that_o it_o be_v christ_n that_o give_v the_o holy_a ghost_n joh._n and_o consequent_o that_o in_o the_o elemental_a water_n the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v not_o contain_v nor_o include_v but_o be_v to_o come_v another_o way_n saint_n peter_n have_v a_o like_a speech_n say_v that_o baptism_n do_v save_v we_o not_o that_o it_o be_v the_o material_a cause_n of_o our_o salvation_n for_o christ_n jesus_n only_o be_v our_o saviour_n in_o that_o sort_n but_o for_o that_o it_o be_v a_o sacrament_n sign_n and_o seal_n of_o that_o salvation_n which_o we_o have_v by_o jesus_n christ._n and_o thus_o you_o see_v how_o all_o the_o scripture_n stand_v well_o together_o and_o be_v right_o reconcile_v whereas_o otherwise_o according_a to_o their_o sense_n there_o will_v be_v a_o confusion_n and_o repugnancy_n yea_o if_o it_o be_v true_a that_o the_o very_a external_a act_n of_o baptism_n perform_v do_v ipso_fw-la facto_fw-la regenerate_v cleanse_v sanctify_v and_o save_v then_o shall_v all_o without_o exception_n that_o be_v baptize_v be_v also_o regenerate_v cleanse_v sanctify_v and_o save_v soul_n but_o this_o you_o neither_o do_v nor_o will_v affirm_v and_o therefore_o no_o reason_n have_v you_o to_o affirm_v the_o other_o whereupon_o this_o must_v necessary_o follow_v in_o like_a sort_n if_o consecrate_v bread_n and_o wine_n external_o distribute_v and_o receive_v in_o the_o lord_n supper_n do_v ipso_fw-la facto_fw-la give_v grace_n and_o remission_n of_o sin_n than_o may_v judas_n that_o traitor_n or_o any_o other_o
