Commission to baptize all as well as preach to all but that these Powers might be executed in the best manner such as might tend most to the Glory of God and the Edification of the Church it being impossible he should preach to all and baptize them too by a particular Instinct of the Spirit to appoint and order him to lay out his Abilities chiefly in preaching that being a Work of greatest Difficulty and Importance his Talent also lying most for that Work And St. Paul might have said I was not sent to preach the Gospel to the Jews viz. by my particular Mission as he says here I was not sent viz. by a special Mission to baptize them That the Acts 5. 20. Apostles had such particular Calls and Missions as well as universal Power and Acts 8. 25. 26. Authority 't is evident from the Scriptures Acts 9. 11. Or it may be Answer'd the common way I was not sent chiefly to baptize That Acts 16. 10 9. was not the chief Part of his Commission but to perform the more necessary and Act. 19. 20. 22. difficult Part of it to preach to dispute with and convince Gain sayers for our Acts 23. 11. greater Parts and Abilities as also greater Courage was required then to baptize 2 Tim. 1. 11. yet he carefully deputed others for that Service and so might well enough have been said to have baptized too as Christ 4 Joh. 2. and Peter also Acts 10. 48. having commanded them to be baptized it was certainly impossible the Apostles should have been able with their own hands to have baptized such Multitudes they converted Christianity had spread over all the Quarters of the known World before the Apostles left it and could Twelve Men be thought sufficient for such a Task of Baptizing And is it not agreeable to Reason that when a Person hath a Commission authorizing him for two eminent different Services that are impossible both to be performed by him alone to interpret the Meaning of that Commission to be that he should lay out his Time and Strength in the most necessary and important Service and depute some others for the rest seeing it may as well be done by other hands as his What a stop and hindrance would this have been if the Apostle had slayed every where to baptize their Conve●ts n●y 〈◊〉 was impossible they being so great a P●t of the World yet sometimes they did it you see when it was no impe●●ment to them in their main Design Had it not have been in their Commission to have done it at al. they had greatly sinned if all the Children of the Province of Canterbury were brought to the Arch-Bishop to be baptized by him he might not say when I was made Arch-Bishop of this Place and sent to this See I was not not sent to baptize the Children of this numerous Province though I have a Commission to baptize as well as any Parish-Minister of the Province but chiefly to exercise a Patioral Care of Government among them See Gen. 45. 8. It was not you that sent me hither but God Though they sold him into Aegypt but it was principally God's doing 1 Tim. 2. 14. Adam was not deceived but the Woman being deceived was in the Transg●●ssion viz the Chief in it Mat. 9. 13. I 'll have Mercy and not Sacrifice Jer. 7. 22. I spake not unto your Fathers nor commanded them concerning Burnt Offerings or Sacrifices but I commanded them saying Obey my Voice Yet God had commanded those Cities under pain of Death The meaning is they were not the chief part of the Command but rather the Off●●●ng and Sacrifice of a broken and cont●i●e Heart 't was the inward part that was signified by this that God chiefly required of them and when the outward was performed without the inward he tells them he never required it at their hands see Isa 1. 11. Suppose the Quakers should deny that outward Sacrifices were ever commanded by God or that the Jews did ever practise them and they should interpret all that is said of Sacrifices of the inward as they do of Baptism and should produce the Texts above quoted and the First of Isa to prove God did not command them which are more clear and positive against outward Sacrifices than that one Text they have brought out of the Corinthians is against Water-Baptism If they should not be convinced by those numerous Texts might be brought out of Exod. Gen. Numb c. with the Practice of the Jews from Moses's Time for the Proof of the one as by those plain and pregnant Texts cited by us together with the constant Practice of the Apostles and all the Christian World to this Day for the Proof of the other we shall despair of ever finding out a Method of convincing them but as one says that of Bedlam Sure enough if the Quakers had such Texts as these forementioned against Water-Baptism what Shouts and Triumphs should we hear of If God had said he never commanded Water-Baptism he was weary of it his Soul hated it yet had they found them they would have proved no more against outward Baptism than the other did against outward Sacrifices Come G. dissemble no longer with us the true Reason if thou wouldst deal plainly with us why Water-Baptism is rejected by you is not because the Scripture commands it not but because you have no Command in your selves about it and as for that Dry Dead Letter that Nose of Wax the Scriptures as you call them no matter what they say to us without such a Revelation What have we to do with the Command that was to the Apostles They are dead and gone and the Command of baptizing all Nations died with them But yet methinks as the Apostles were bid to baptize all Nations all Nations were required to be baptized and all Nations are not yet dead and gone and therefore there should be some left alive to baptize them unless the Apostles were commanded to baptize when dead CHAP. X. Of the LORD's SUPPER NExt we shall Vindicate the Supper of the Lord by Bread and Wine from their profane Contempt that also according to them is but a Trick of the Pope's to cheat the People with a Shadow for Substance Carnal Cainitical and to be discharged the Service as well as the Passover P. 713. Brief Discovery All which Abuses are justified by the common Voucher for P. 26. Quakers G. Whitehead One would think the Words of St. Matthew 26. 26 27 28. as also St. Luke 22. 19. 20. should be plain enough to determine this Controversie While they were eating viz the Pas●over Christ took Bread and blessed it and brake it and gave it to his Disciple● and bid them take and eat for it was his Body viz. The Sign or Symbol of his Body He also took the C●p and blessed it and gave it them and commanded them all to drink of it yea this was his dying
