Anabaptistes and flee their errours / heresyes / and deceyuable doctrine / that brīgeth to death and receyue the true doctrine of Christe that brīgeth to lyfe Now I wyl retourne agayne to saynt Paule ☞ So oughte men also to loue thyre wyues euen as theyr owne bodyes he that loueth his wyfe loueth hym selfe For no man yet euer hated his owne flesshe but norissheth and cherisseth it euen as the Lorde dothe also the Congregacion for we are membres of his bodye / of his flesshe and of his bones ❧ ❧ ♣ The Apostles here sheweth howe the mā shuld loue his wife euē as his owne body / for the man and the wyfe be one body coupled togyther by matrymony a knot nat to be lowsed at mānes pleasure / who hath euer ben so mad / of so lytle wyth that hath hated hys owne body / were it neuer so deforme or out of facyon / so wayke / so lene / so syckely / so fylthy / and so full of noughtynes / but hath euer cherished norished his owne bodye and hyd the fautes of it / and redy to amende it / so shulde a man be affected towardes his wyfe / as towardes his owne bodye / ye euen as Christe hathe loued his Churche / whiche hath nat put it away when it was a brodel and polluted with fylthynes and synnes / but hath takē it to him and hath purged it and made it cleane holy and gay / and hath dissembled many thinges in it / and at the laste healed all hyr sores and diseases and wasshed clere away hyr spottes and sinnes After the example of Christe towardes his churche let the husbande do to the wyfe / and euer haue before his eies what thyng he wolde shulde be done to hꝭ owne body / the same thynge let him do to his wyfe This place reproueth those husbandes that loue nat their wifes / that contēne and dispise their wyfes / whē they are sycke / nat prouyding for them necessaries / nat comfortynge thē with all comforte they can / ye this place checketh all them that wyl nat couer and hyde the fautꝭ of their wyues if they be no table crimes and do nat study to refourme and amende they re wyues / and to make them good / vertuouse and holy 2 For we are membres of one body / he sheweth why he called the wyfe the flesshe of the man / it was because the woman was made of the man / of a rybbe takē out of the syde of Adam / and the womannes bone was made of a bone of Adam as it is wryten Gene. 2. to the whiche place saynte Paule dothe allude here For this cause that the man shulde nat contēne the womā as a creature made of a vyler matter then he was of and to certifie the man that he shulde nat contemne his wyfe excepte he shulde contemne hym selfe his owne flesshe this thynge he sheweth that there shulde be more loue bytwene the mā and the wyfe / no stryfe / no contention / no debate / no contemnynge one another ❧ For this cause shall a man leue father and mother and cleaue vnto his wyfe and they two shall be one flesshe This is a greate secrete I speake of Christe and the Congregacyon Neuerthelesse do ye so that euery one of you loue hꝭ wyfe / euen as hym selfe / but let the wyfe feare hyr husbande ☞ Here the Apostle wylleth that there shulde be more loue bytwene the husbande and the wyfe / then bytwene the chyldren and the parentes he wylleth the sōne shall preferre the loue to his wyfe aboue the loue to father or mother 2 The Apostle speaketh here onelye of the loue that shulde be bytwene the man the wyfe / of the other deuties of the man to the wyfe it is spoken in other place of scripture / as Peter 1. Pe. 3. sheweth that it is the offyce of the man to dwell with his wyfe / to entreate hyr after knowledge and to liue togither as perpetual felowes of good and euyl / for al theyr lyfe tyme / in peace / concorde / vnite / loue / and dewe obedience accordynge to goddes lawe / prouydynge togyther necessaryes / that they myght lyue holyly and godly and bringe vp their children vertuously in the knowledge of god in loue and feare of god / to order and rule theyr famylye accordynge to goddes wyll gyuynge them example of al goodnes to folowe Peter addeth after knowledge / that is that the man shulde order his wyfe after knowledge wysedome whiche be more in men then in women / for men muste beare the infirmitie of women / and many thīges to pardone ī them and ouer se and wynke at / and dyssemble as they had nat knowē or elles there shal be lytle agremente betwene the man and the wyfe / and some tyme to exhorte gentylly / to rebuke sharpely and some time clerely to remyt the matter as he for his wysedome shall se mo he expedient to entreat hyr alway endeuerynge hym to make his wyfe gentle / lowly / obedient / louynge / honest / good / holye / and vertuouse In man it is to supply that lacketh in women / to haue more wytte / wysedome / reason / prudence / counsell / lernyng wayes to prouyde necessaries for theyr lyuynges / and to ordre euery thynge well Also it pertayneth to men sayeth Peter there / to gyue to wemē deu honour / that is that the mā shulde nat contemne or despyce his wyfe / or vse hyr as his hande mayde or seruaunte / but to take hyr as felowe of his perpetual lyfe and as ioynte heyres of God This place of Peter reproueth those men that contēne and dyspyse there wyfes / wyll nat vse theyr company at bed or at borde and other conuersacion of lyuynge / but leue thē forsake them / put them away from them / Also if reproueth all them that vse they re wyfe as theyr hande mayde or seruaunte / that vse muche chydynge or brawlynge or fyghtynge with theyr wyues / or vse do bounch beate read vnder theyr fote their wyues as dogges or swyne / or any other vngodlye wayes do entreate are their wyfes / they be reproued of the Apostle Therfore let all suche frowarde husbandes amende least the plage of god fal on thē for theyr vngodly entreatinge of their wyues / whō they shulde knowe to be felowes with thē and boughte with the precyous bloude of Chryste / and called to be partakers of the heuenly kyngedome asswell as they that be men Fynally it is the offyce of husbandes to vse the company of theyr wyues to paye deuty as saynt Paule calleth it 1. Corin. 7. sayeng Let the man gyue deuty to his wyfe for the man hathe nat power of his bodye / but the wyfe / lykewyse the wyfe hath nat power of hyr body / but the husbande / Sayncte Paule reproueth all these maryed men / that do nat theyr deutye to theyr wyfes / but wyll take
6. Do you not knowe that all we that are christened in Christe Iesus / that in his deathe we are christened / buryed with Christe by baptysme in to death / that we myght aryse with Christ / and be partakers of his glory Marke the ordre of Saynte Paule / and then se howe it foloweth consequently / that we must be christened of necessitie / yf we wyll be partakers of his glorye and kyngdome The nynth reason The Apostles christened hole householdes / as Paule christened Lydiā a seller of purple and hyr hole householde Actu 18. He christened Chripum an hye ruler of the Synagoge / with his hole householde Actu 19. Stephe householde 1. Cor. 1. It is very lyke that amonges these hole householdes he christened chyldren / seynge chyldren be of the householdes The Apostles with all inwardes instructions and outward signes dyd brynge men to Christe / as moche as laye in them / and wolde that euerye man shulde knowe them that were the seruauntes of God / and that seruauntes shulde be made certayne / that they were the seruauntes of Christe by some outwarde token whiche was by baptysme And therfore the Apostles baptysed all them that wolde become the seruauntes of Christe / and beleue in Christ / and take Christe for theyr Lorde and Mayster / whose outwarde bagge was baptysme / as appereth by Saynte Paule Ephe. 4. wher he moueth men to vnitie by reason of baptysme / sayeng One god / one fayth / one baptyme / one Lorde god and father of all that worketh all in all The tenth reason The trouth of goddes wordes / and the true vse of them hath ben alwayes in his churche / and in the cōgregacion of god / that chyldren shulde be christened hath euer ben vsed in Christes church sence Christes tyme / tyl these Anabaptistes dyd come / wherfore these Anabaptistes denyenge baptysme to chyldren / greatly are to be blamed / seynge ther be so many scriptures that proueth euydentely that chyldren must be christened / as I haue here shewed by some scripture / and 〈◊〉 places maye be brought for the purpose to proue the baptyme of childrē Nowe I wyll brynge in the reasons of the Anabaptistes / that they brynge for theyr purpose / and shewe howe weake and slender reasons they be / how farre disagreynge from the scriptures / that no man shulde be ouer come and broughte ī an erroure or heresy by such reasons / that be of no weghtynes and withoute scripture / ye contrary to holy scripture They say that these that shal be christened must fyrste beleue / and then be christened Chyldrē they saye can not beleue / for fayth is gotten by hearynge / and hearynge by the worde of god So chyldrē can not haue fayth / sayth these Anabaptistes / wherfor they say that chyldren shulde not be christened To this reason I answere and saye / that chyldren maye haue fayth / althoughe they haue it not by hearynge / yet they haue faythe by infusion of the holy ghost as the holy prophetes hadde / and many holy men in the olde lawe had Also saythe is the gyfte of God the worke of the holy ghoste Who shulde let God to gyue his gyftes where he wyll / seynge faythe is the gyft of God Ephe. 2. Philip. 1. He maye gyue fayth aswell to chyldren as to olde men Fayth also is the worke of God Ihon. 6. not of man of mannes wyll or reason Who shall let god to worke where he ●yst / therfore it is not vnpossible for chyldrē to haue fayth as these anabaptistes falsely suppose Also god regardeth no persons / but geueth his gyftes withoute all regarde of perosonnes / to be a chylde or olde man be counted as personnes in scriptures / wherfore it foloweth playnely that god gyueth not fayth to an olde mā / or denyeth fayth to a chyld / because he is a chylde / for then god shuld regarde persōnes / which he doth nat And where they say that they must expresse their fayth before they be christened what wyl they do with deie and dōme mē that get nat fayth by hearinge nor cā nat expresse theyr fayth by wordes wyll they exclude thē from baptysme / condēne thē to hel pyt And also sū aged peraduenture wyll dissēble and say they haue fayth / whē they haue nat fayth / and yf they wyl christen none without they be certayn of ther fayth / then shal they chrystē none / neyther yonge nor olde / seynge that olde may dissēble / and saye they haue faythe when they haue nat fayth And where they say there is no exāple in scripture by expressed wordes that children shuld be christenned To this I answere that it is ynoughe that it may be iustly gathered of the holy scriptures truely vnderstanded / as of the scriptures I haue shewed before / of many mo / as of that the Apostles christened hole housoldes that they chrystened some chyldren I suppose the Scripture doth nat brynge forth example of chyldren chrystened / nat because there was no chyldren chrystened of the Apostles / but because the scripture dothe nat muche speake of wemen nor of chyldren but vnderstande them in the mā For I suppose there was many mo womē christened of the Apostles then is mention made of in the scripture Wemen and chyldren are vnderstande in men of the masculyne kīde / as Roma 5. He sayth sīne came vpon all men by Adam / and by christ were all men iustified / that is all men / all womē al chyldren / were deade by the synne of Adam / And all men / all women / all chyldrē made ryghtuous and iustified by Christe although it is spokē after the Greke tong in the masculyne gender and no mention made of the femynyne gender / nor of children / but they be bothe vnderstande in the masculyne gender / euen as well as mention were made of them bothe / and wemen / and chyldren be as wel redemed by Christ and wasshed from sinnes by Christ as mē So I thīke that scripture doth nat speke of chyldren / when it commaundeth baptyme but includeth all men of the masculyne gendre al wemen / and chyldren to be christened / when it commaundeth that al creatures shuld be christened / chyldren are to be coūted amongest creatures / and people of God These thinges I haue spoken as touchynge the baptyme of yonge chyldren / whose baptyme the scriptures dothe approue and allowe and codempneth the deuyllyshe erronious opinion of the Anabaptistes whiche be fallen into an errour and an heresie / and hath brought other to theyr errour be reasons of no strength nor weyght / folyshe and contrary to the scripture / whiche at the fyrst hath peraduēture semed apparentet to the ignoraunte in the Scripture / but to them that be learned in the scripture they be of no pythe nor effect nor proue the thīg they go about / therfore let euery man bewarre of these
