A90866	Theos anthrōpophoros. Or, God incarnate. Shewing, that Jesus Christ is the onely, and the most high God· In four books. Wherein also are contained a few animadversions upon a late namelesse and blasphemous commentary on the Epistle to the Hebrewes, published under the capital letters, G.M. anno Dom. 1647. In these four books the great mystery of man's redemption and salvation, and the wayes and means thereof used by God are evidently held out to the capacity of humane reason, even ordinary understandings. The sin against the Holy Ghost is plainly described; with the cases and reasons of the unpardonablenesse, or pardonablenesse thereof. Anabaptisme, is by Scripture, and the judgment of the fathers shewed to be an heinous sin, and exceedingly injurious to the Passion, and blood of Christ. / By Edm. Porter, B.D. sometimes fellow of St. John's Colledge in Cambridge, and prebend of Norwich.	Porter, Edmund, 1595-1670.; Downame, John, d. 1652.	1655 (1655)	Wing P2985; Thomason E1596_1; ESTC R203199	270,338	411

that_o the_o meaning_n be_v that_o he_o that_o be_v once_o by_o baptism_n illuminate_v can_v again_o by_o baptism_n be_v illuminate_v and_o he_o that_o be_v once_o by_o baptism_n renew_v can_v again_o by_o baptism_n be_v renew_a to_o repentance_n four_o a_o man_n may_v once_o be_v enlighten_v and_o baptize_v and_o thereby_o renew_a to_o amendment_n of_o life_n and_o repentance_n and_o freedom_n or_o acquitment_n from_o his_o sin_n past_a and_o this_o by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n in_o the_o laver_n of_o regeneration_n and_o by_o the_o virtue_n of_o christ_n death_n but_o after_o this_o one_o renew_v by_o baptism_n he_o can_v again_o be_v renew_a to_o resipiscence_n newness_n of_o life_n and_o acquitment_n from_o his_o sin_n by_o a_o new_a baptism_n to_o renew_v they_o all_o though_o a_o sinner_n can_v be_v renew_a more_o than_o once_o by_o the_o sacramental_a renovation_n of_o baptism_n yet_o there_o be_v another_o way_n leave_v open_a for_o renew_v and_o that_o be_v
