not_o a_o fit_a subject_n for_o baptism_n for_o baptism_n represent_v a_o death_n and_o burial_n of_o the_o old_a man_n and_o a_o rise_n to_o life_n in_o the_o new_a man_n which_o can_v be_v

for_o a_o example_n do_v all_o thing_n according_a to_o the_o primitive_a pattern_n in_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n and_o as_o many_o as_o walk_v according_a to_o that_o rule_n peace_n shall_v be_v

more_o objection_n of_o that_o nature_n which_o be_v not_o allege_v in_o his_o book_n and_o now_o brief_o to_o the_o reason_n which_o show_v that_o infant_n be_v not_o fit_a subject_n for_o to_o be_v baptise_a and_o so_o to_o the_o first_o reason_n which_o be_v reas_n 1._o because_o god_n have_v no_o where_n in_o scripture_n appoint_v infant_n to_o be_v baptise_a either_o by_o precept_n or_o by_o the_o example_n of_o the_o apostle_n whole_a step_n we_o be_v to_o follow_v and_o therefore_o it_o be_v a_o unlawful_a practice_n for_o whosoever_o add_v to_o the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n god_n will_v add_v the_o plague_n which_o be_v write_v and_o the_o prophet_n that_o shall_v presume_v to_o speak_v a_o word_n in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n which_o he_o have_v not_o command_v the_o same_o prophet_n must_v die_v deut._n 18.20_o revel_v 22.18_o therefore_o add_v thou_o not_o unto_o his_o word_n lest_o he_o reprove_v thou_o and_o thou_o be_v find_v a_o liar_n prov._n 30.6_o but_o as_o for_o god_n way_n as_o in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o law_n it_o be_v very_o plain_a and_o perfect_a as_o witness_v that_o ordinance_n of_o circumcision_n there_o be_v the_o manner_n of_o circumcision_n and_o the_o person_n which_o be_v to_o be_v circumcise_a plain_o discover_v as_o the_o foreskin_n of_o the_o flesh_n and_o the_o child_n of_o abraham_n and_o the_o time_n when_o even_o at_o eight_o day_n old_a nay_o his_o servant_n and_o slave_n be_v to_o be_v circumcise_a and_o in_o a_o word_n no_o uncircumcised_a person_n must_v abide_v in_o that_o land_n nor_o be_v account_v of_o abraham_n family_n which_o show_v that_o in_o a_o spiritual_a sense_n none_o can_v be_v account_v abraham_n seed_n but_o such_o as_o be_v circumcise_a in_o heart_n viz._n those_o that_o have_v the_o vayl_n of_o ignorance_n and_o unbelief_n take_v away_o from_o off_o their_o heart_n which_o cause_v the_o apostle_n to_o say_v that_o abraham_n believe_v god_n and_o it_o be_v account_v unto_o he_o for_o righteousness_n know_v you_o therefore_o say_v he_o that_o they_o which_o be_v of_o faith_n the_o same_o be_v the_o child_n of_o abraham_n so_o than_o infant_n not_o have_v the_o vail_n of_o ignorance_n and_o unbelief_n take_v from_o off_o their_o heart_n can_v be_v account_v of_o abraham_n family_n for_o he_o receive_v circumcision_n as_o a_o seal_n of_o the_o righteousness_n of_o that_o faith_n which_o he_o receive_v before_o circumcision_n that_o he_o may_v be_v the_o father_n of_o all_o they_o which_o do_v believe_v gal._n 3.7_o rom._n 4.11_o so_o then_o circumcision_n be_v a_o seal_n of_o the_o fatherhood_n of_o the_o faithful_a unto_o abraham_n therefore_o the_o faithful_a only_o be_v abraham_n seed_n which_o can_v be_v infant_n because_o they_o have_v not_o faith_n and_o that_o they_o have_v not_o faith_n be_v clear_a because_o the_o apostle_n say_v that_o there_o be_v but_o one_o faith_n and_o that_o one_o faith_n be_v wrought_v in_o the_o soul_n by_o hear_v the_o word_n preach_v the_o which_o infant_n be_v not_o capable_a of_o as_o will_v be_v grant_v by_o all_o man_n as_o i_o think_v one_o word_n or_o two_o more_o about_o abraham_n circumcision_n and_o so_o pass_v to_o the_o next_o reason_n which_o be_v abraham_n receive_v it_o as_o a_o seal_n of_o the_o righteousness_n of_o faith_n but_o none_o of_o his_o seed_n do_v receive_v it_o as_o a_o seal_n neither_o can_v do_v because_o they_o can_v not_o have_v the_o fatherhood_n of_o the_o faithful_a seal_v up_o unto_o they_o it_o be_v only_a abraham_n prerogative_n neither_o be_v it_o ever_o call_v a_o seal_n to_o any_o of_o abraham_n seed_n and_o much_o more_o i_o may_v say_v but_o i_o pass_v brief_o to_o the_o second_o reason_n to_o prove_v child_n not_o fit_a subject_n to_o be_v baptise_a which_o be_v reas_n 2._o because_o all_o that_o be_v baptise_a may_v and_o aught_o to_o receive_v the_o lord_n supper_n unless_o they_o be_v scandalous_a in_o their_o conversation_n after_o baptism_n and_o that_o hinder_v they_o but_o child_n may_v not_o receive_v the_o lord_n supper_n ergo_fw-la reas_n 3._o three_o because_o child_n be_v not_o in_o gospel-covenant_n because_o all_o that_o be_v in_o gospel-covenant_n need_v not_o to_o be_v teach_v to_o know_v the_o lord_n for_o they_o all_o know_v he_o from_o the_o great_a to_o the_o least_o but_o child_n of_o seven_o or_o eight_o day_n

doctrine_n by_o the_o slight_n of_o man_n &_o cunning_a craftiness_n whereby_o they_o lie_v in_o wait_n to_o deceive_v from_o this_o text_n we_o may_v learn_v that_o it_o be_v the_o wisdom_n of_o christ_n in_o order_n to_o accomplish_v his_o last_o will_n and_o testament_n that_o he_o do_v give_v gift_n to_o man_n that_o they_o may_v be_v enable_v in_o their_o successive_a generation_n to_o preach_v exhort_v reprove_v and_o correct_v to_o the_o end_n that_o the_o man_n of_o god_n or_o servant_n of_o god_n namely_o the_o church_n of_o god_n may_v be_v furnish_v with_o every_o good_a

be_v perpetuate_v and_o to_o remain_v from_o that_o time_n and_o forward_o until_o all_o the_o saint_n come_v to_o the_o unity_n of_o the_o faith_n and_o that_o perfect_a man_n even_o to_o the_o

practise_v in_o his_o last_o will_n and_o testament_n be_v perpetuate_v and_o to_o remain_v because_o it_o be_v before_o declare_v by_o god_n to_o moses_n and_o good_a reason_n there_o be_v that_o the_o law_n and_o statute_n of_o christ_n shall_v be_v perpetuate_v and_o remain_v as_o well_o as_o moses_n law_n which_o do_v remain_v until_o a_o more_o glorious_a administration_n for_o when_o

be_v so_o weak_a as_o to_o die_v with_o he_o or_o a_o non_fw-la after_o he_o or_o at_o least_o some_o of_o they_o and_o so_o in_o effect_n say_v that_o christ_n be_v a_o more_o weak_a or_o a_o

you_o may_v see_v that_o the_o sepulchre_n which_o you_o speak_v of_o be_v not_o wood_n but_o earth_n and_o so_o christ_n be_v bury_v and_o cover_v in_o the_o heart_n of_o the_o earth_n so_o than_o

dip_v or_o plunge_v into_o the_o water_n reas_n 4._o because_o baptism_n be_v figurative_o represent_v by_o much_o water_n and_o not_o by_o a_o little_a which_o impli_v the_o person_n baptize_v aught_o to_o be_v dip_v or_o plunge_v so_o as_o to_o be_v cover_v in_o water_n as_o the_o water_n of_o noah_n and_o john_n abide_v in_o canaan_n baptise_v because_o there_o be_v much_o water_n say_v the_o text_n to_o which_o you_o add_v these_o two_o objection_n object_n 1._o first_o that_o if_o the_o water_n of_o noah_n be_v baptism_n than_o the_o ungodly_a world_n be_v baptise_a for_o plunge_v and_o cover_v they_o be_v and_o perish_v and_o so_o the_o perish_a creature_n be_v baptise_a answ_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v and_o say_v the_o text_n do_v not_o say_v that_o noah_n water_n be_v baptism_n but_o a_o figure_n of_o baptism_n second_o it_o be_v not_o deny_v that_o the_o same_o water_n that_o be_v say_v to_o save_v the_o eight_o soul_n which_o be_v in_o the_o ark_n be_v the_o same_o that_o drown_v they_o which_o be_v out_o of_o the_o ark_n which_o show_v that_o the_o water_n in_o baptism_n must_v not_o be_v small_a for_o that_o be_v say_v to_o be_v a_o figure_n of_o baptism_n but_o sufficient_a to_o cover_v the_o person_n baptize_v that_o which_o we_o may_v learn_v from_o these_o say_n be_v this_o and_o so_o i_o pass_v that_o as_o the_o water_n save_v those_o in_o the_o ark_n and_o drown_v they_o that_o be_v out_o of_o the_o ark_n even_o so_o baptism_n be_v figurative_o represent_v in_o it_o save_v and_o clean_v instrumental_o all_o those_o that_o have_v faith_n and_o so_o be_v in_o christ_n the_o ark_n of_o safety_n and_o also_o destroy_v all_o that_o attempt_v it_o which_o believe_v not_o or_o be_v not_o in_o christ_n by_o faith_n and_o so_o the_o ordinance_n of_o christ_n to_o one_o be_v the_o savour_n of_o life_n unto_o life_n and_o to_o the_o other_o the_o savour_n of_o death_n unto_o death_n therefore_o take_v this_o word_n of_o caution_n take_v heel_n how_o and_o to_o who_o you_o administer_v baptism_n let_v they_o first_o appear_v to_o you_o that_o they_o be_v in_o the_o ark_n which_o be_v to_o say_v let_v the_o person_n baptise_a first_o make_v it_o appear_v to_o you_o by_o some_o visible_a demonstration_n that_o they_o have_v faith_n in_o christ_n otherwise_o you_o see_v that_o you_o take_v a_o direct_a way_n to_o ruinate_v they_o therefore_o i_o say_v take_v heed_n and_o so_o i_o pass_v to_o the_o next_o thing_n which_o be_v object_n john_n do_v abide_v at_o canaan_n to_o baptize_v because_o there_o be_v much_o water_n there_o but_o say_v you_o the_o much_o water_n be_v not_o to_o be_v understand_v deep_a water_n but_o broad_a and_o shallow_a so_o that_o a_o infant_n can_v not_o be_v cover_v in_o it_o and_o that_o john_n do_v abide_v there_o because_o his_o disciple_n may_v see_v he_o administer_v that_o ordinance_n better_o than_o under_o the_o shadow_a bank_n of_o jordan_n and_o this_o be_v the_o reason_n say_v my_o antagonist_n that_o john_n do_v abide_v at_o canaan_n not_o that_o the_o water_n be_v convenient_a that_o be_v to_o say_v deep_a to_o cover_v the_o person_n baptize_v but_o because_o there_o be_v a_o convenient_a prospect_n whereby_o his_o disciple_n may_v see_v the_o manner_n of_o this_o administer_a of_o the_o ordinance_n answ_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v and_o say_v that_o this_o kind_n of_o reason_v seem_v to_o i_o to_o be_v strange_a pervert_n of_o the_o scripture_n for_o the_o scripture_n say_v that_o john_n abode_n at_o canaan_n to_o baptize_v because_o there_o be_v much_o water_n or_o it_o may_v be_v read_v abundance_n of_o water_n or_o deep_a water_n from_o the_o word_n 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d but_o you_o say_v that_o the_o reason_n why_o he_o tarry_v there_o to_o baptize_v be_v because_o there_o be_v a_o convenient_a prospect_n that_o his_o disciple_n may_v see_v he_o baptize_v clear_a contrary_a to_o what_o the_o scripture_n say_v and_o if_o that_o be_v the_o reason_n as_o you_o say_v than_o he_o may_v have_v take_v a_o pitcher_n of_o water_n into_o the_o mountain_n if_o sprinkle_v will_v have_v serve_v the_o turn_n for_o a_o pitcher_n of_o water_n will_v have_v baptize_v very_o many_o with_o your_o kind_n of_o baptism_n and_o the_o mountain_n have_v be_v a_o better_a prospect_n than_o the_o valley_n second_o canaan_n be_v the_o same_o water_n viz._n the_o river_n jordan_n and_o take_v its_o name_n canaan_n from_o the_o name_n of_o the_o village_n canaan_n that_o stand_v by_o the_o river_n of_o jordan_n as_o you_o may_v see_v if_o you_o look_v into_o the_o map_n of_o that_o country_n and_o so_o it_o be_v now_o that_o one_o and_o the_o same_o river_n bear_v many_o name_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o adjacent_a village_n and_o town_n that_o stand_v by_o the_o side_n of_o it_o and_o the_o river_n call_v by_o the_o same_o name_n this_o be_v consider_v the_o river_n or_o water_n of_o canaan_n be_v not_o shallow_a but_o deep_a for_o the_o swell_a wave_n of_o jordan_n be_v great_a and_o this_o be_v the_o same_o river_n as_o before-said_a again_o three_o it_o be_v clear_a that_o john_n baptise_a man_n and_o woman_n there_o which_o shall_v be_v read_v if_o it_o be_v true_o translate_v that_o john_n dip_v man_n and_o woman_n there_o and_o if_o so_o you_o and_o your_o author_n must_v be_v false_a which_o say_v it_o be_v not_o deep_a enough_o to_o dip_v a_o infant_n and_o so_o i_o leave_v this_o objection_n and_o the_o reason_n to_o prove_v baptism_n to_o be_v dip_v although_o i_o may_v add_v many_o more_o the_o reason_n in_o short_a you_o see_v be_v these_o first_o because_o the_o word_n baptism_n be_v true_o translate_v be_v to_o dip_v proper_o and_o such_o like_a word_n as_o beforementioned_a second_o because_o christ_n be_v dip_v or_o plunge_v and_o we_o engage_v to_o follow_v his_o example_n three_o baptism_n signify_v christ_n burial_n and_o he_o be_v cover_v in_o the_o heart_n of_o the_o earth_n four_o and_o last_o the_o scripture_n say_v that_o john_n do_v tarry_v and_o baptise_v at_o canaan_n because_o there_o be_v much_o water_n signify_v to_o we_o that_o much_o water_n be_v requisite_a in_o baptism_n whereby_o the_o person_n baptize_v may_v be_v convenient_o dip_v or_o plunge_v so_o as_o to_o be_v cover_v in_o the_o water_n and_o so_o i_o come_v to_o the_o second_o thing_n which_o be_v the_o discourse_n of_o the_o subject_n which_o be_v to_o be_v baptise_a whether_o believe_v man_n and_o woman_n or_o infant_n to_o which_o i_o say_v the_o scripture_n will_v resolve_v the_o doubt_n if_o we_o well_o examine_v they_o who_o be_v the_o subject_n to_o be_v baptise_a and_o therefore_o i_o shall_v at_o present_a lie_v down_o these_o two_o position_n and_o give_v you_o scripture_n reason_n to_o prove_v they_o position_n 1._o the_o first_o be_v that_o those_o that_o be_v the_o disciple_n of_o christ_n viz._n believe_v man_n and_o woman_n may_v and_o aught_o to_o be_v baptise_a position_n 2._o and_o second_o that_o infant_n as_o such_o may_v not_o be_v baptise_a and_o first_o to_o the_o first_o to_o prove_v that_o such_o as_o be_v disciple_n namely_o believer_n may_v and_o aught_o to_o be_v baptise_a and_o the_o first_o reason_n be_v reason_n 1_o because_o the_o great_a lawgiver_n christ_n jesus_n have_v teach_v we_o in_o his_o last_o will_n and_o testament_n to_o make_v disciple_n and_o baptise_v they_o that_o be_v so_o make_v as_o in_o matth._n 28.18_o 19_o go_v teach_v all_o nation_n and_o baptize_v they_o or_o as_o the_o original_a render_v it_o from_o these_o word_n 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d go_v disciplize_v or_o make_v disciple_n in_o all_o nation_n and_o baptize_v they_o etc._n etc._n from_o whence_o we_o may_v clear_o see_v that_o it_o be_v the_o mind_n and_o will_n of_o christ_n that_o they_o only_o shall_v be_v baptise_a that_o be_v first_o teach_v and_o make_v disciple_n and_o that_o infant_n be_v not_o here_o in_o the_o least_o include_v be_v plain_a because_o they_o be_v not_o capable_a to_o be_v teach_v but_o those_o that_o be_v command_v there_o to_o be_v baptize_v be_v capable_a of_o be_v teach_v therefore_o can_v not_o be_v infant_n second_o infant_n be_v not_o capable_a to_o bear_v the_o name_n disciple_n because_o christ_n say_v in_o luke_n 14.26_o 27._o that_o whosoever_o deni_v not_o himself_o and_o
take_v up_o his_o cross_n and_o follow_v he_o can_v be_v his_o disciple_n so_o than_o infant_n be_v not_o capable_a so_o to_o do_v can_v be_v christ_n disciple_n but_o such_o as_o be_v to_o be_v baptize_v must_v first_o be_v teach_v and_o make_v disciple_n and_o then_o baptize_v as_o be_v to_o be_v understand_v in_o the_o word_n baptize_v they_o that_o be_v such_o as_o before_o have_v be_v teach_v and_o make_v disciple_n from_o whence_o you_o may_v see_v that_o disciple_n viz._n believe_a man_n and_o woman_n may_v and_o aught_o to_o be_v baptize_v it_o be_v the_o last_o will_n and_o testament_n of_o the_o great_a lawgiver_n who_o also_o say_v that_o he_o that_o believe_v and_o be_v baptize_v shall_v be_v save_v mark_v 16.15_o 16._o and_o so_o i_o come_v to_o the_o second_o reason_n which_o be_v reas_n 2._o because_o disciple_n viz._n believer_n be_v the_o subject_n that_o christ_n and_o the_o apostle_n baptize_v and_o we_o be_v to_o follow_v their_o step_n and_o now_o to_o prove_v that_o christ_n and_o the_o apostle_n do_v baptize_v such_o read_z john_n 4.1_o when_o the_o lord_n know_v that_o the_o pharisee_n have_v hear_v that_o jesus_n make_v and_o baptize_v more_o disciple_n than_o john_n though_o jesus_n baptize_v not_o but_o his_o disciple_n from_o whence_o we_o may_v see_v that_o jesus_n make_v disciple_n before_o he_o do_v baptize_v they_o and_o also_o we_o see_v it_o be_v the_o apostle_n and_o disciple_n practise_v so_o to_o do_v as_o acts._n 8.12_o it_o be_v say_v that_o when_o the_o samaritan_n do_v believe_v they_o be_v baptize_v man_n and_o woman_n but_o no_o mention_n at_o all_o of_o child_n so_o than_o believer_n be_v the_o subject_n who_o be_v to_o be_v baptize_v reas_n 3._o three_o believer_n be_v the_o subject_n because_o none_o be_v account_v as_o member_n in_o the_o new_a covenant_n so_o as_o to_o have_v right_a to_o gospel_n administration_n but_o such_o as_o know_v the_o lord_n viz._n believe_v in_o his_o name_n for_o so_o say_v the_o scripture_n heb._n 8._o for_o this_o be_v the_o covenant_n that_o i_o make_v after_o those_o day_n say_v the_o lord_n they_o shall_v not_o teach_v every_o one_o his_o neighbour_n and_o every_o man_n his_o brother_n say_v know_v the_o lord_n for_o they_o shall_v know_v i_o from_o the_o least_o even_o to_o the_o great_a from_o whence_o we_o see_v that_o the_o least_o member_n in_o the_o gospel-covenant_n must_v know_v the_o lord_n but_o child_n of_o seven_o or_o eight_o day_n old_a know_v he_o not_o and_o therefore_o have_v not_o right_a to_o gospel-administrations_a only_a believer_n that_o know_v god_n for_o they_o shall_v all_o know_v he_o from_o the_o least_o to_o the_o great_a as_o say_v the_o text_n and_o so_o i_o pass_v to_o the_o four_o reason_n which_o be_v reas_n 4._o because_o those_o that_o have_v right_a to_o be_v baptise_a may_v and_o aught_o to_o eat_v the_o lord_n supper_n the_o which_o be_v not_o meet_v for_o child_n to_o do_v for_o it_o be_v a_o feast_n that_o believer_n only_o have_v a_o right_a to_o partake_v of_o but_o all_o baptize_v once_o even_o such_o as_o have_v right_a to_o the_o new_a covenant_n have_v right_a to_o the_o supper_n and_o all_o other_o covenant_n privilege_n for_o so_o say_v the_o scripture_n act_v 2.41_o 42._o then_o they_o that_o glad_o receive_v the_o word_n be_v baptize_v and_o the_o same_o day_n be_v add_v to_o the_o church_n about_o three_o thousand_o soul_n and_o they_o continue_v steadfast_a in_o the_o apostle_n doctrine_n and_o fellowship_n and_o in_o break_v of_o bread_n and_o prayer_n from_o whence_o we_o see_v that_o no_o more_o be_v baptize_v but_o those_o that_o glad_o receive_v the_o word_n and_o they_o that_o be_v baptize_v continue_v in_o the_o apostle_n doctrine_n in_o fellowship_n and_o in_o break_v of_o bread_n viz._n the_o lord_n supper_n and_o prayer_n therefore_o believe_v man_n and_o woman_n and_o not_o child_n be_v the_o right_a subject_n of_o baptism_n and_o aught_o to_o be_v baptize_v they_o have_v a_o command_n enjoin_v they_o thereunto_o and_o so_o i_o pass_v to_o the_o five_o reason_n to_o prove_v that_o disciple_n viz._n believe_a man_n and_o woman_n be_v the_o only_a fit_a subject_n of_o baptism_n which_o be_v reas_n 5._o because_o christ_n be_v baptize_v when_o he_o come_v to_o be_v of_o year_n of_o discretion_n be_v about_o thirty_o year_n old_a as_o you_o may_v read_v luk._n 3._o and_o christ_n be_v give_v to_o be_v a_o leader_n to_o his_o people_n isa_n 55.4_o now_o if_o christ_n be_v not_o baptize_v before_o he_o come_v to_o be_v of_o year_n of_o discretion_n and_o he_o give_v to_o lead_v we_o a_o example_n than_o we_o ought_v not_o also_o to_o be_v baptize_v till_o we_o be_v of_o year_n of_o discretion_n and_o so_o follow_v his_o step_n the_o former_a of_o these_o be_v true_a and_o the_o consequence_n can_v in_o truth_n be_v deny_v and_o so_o i_o pass_v to_o the_o six_o reason_n to_o prove_v believer_n the_o only_a subject_n of_o baptism_n reas_n 6._o because_o repentance_n and_o confession_n of_o sin_n be_v require_v of_o person_n before_o baptism_n be_v administer_v unto_o they_o for_o such_o be_v the_o baptism_n of_o john_n when_o he_o be_v to_o prepare_v a_o people_n for_o the_o lord_n although_o the_o people_n which_o he_o baptize_v be_v the_o seed_n of_o abraham_n and_o so_o in_o the_o old_a covenant_n yet_o they_o come_v to_o john_n and_o confess_v their_o sin_n and_o be_v baptize_v and_o it_o be_v call_v the_o baptism_n of_o repentance_n and_o when_o they_o will_v have_v be_v baptize_v upon_o the_o account_n of_o be_v abraham_n seed_n and_o child_n of_o the_o covenant_n john_n do_v reprove_v they_o say_v o_o generation_n of_o viper_n who_o have_v forewarn_v you_o to_o flee_v from_o the_o wrath_n to_o come_v bring_v forth_o fruit_n worthy_a of_o amendment_n of_o life_n and_o do_v not_o begin_v to_o say_v you_o have_v abraham_n to_o

which_o bring_v not_o forth_o good_a fruit_n be_v hew_v down_o etc._n etc._n peruse_v this_o diligent_o and_o you_o may_v see_v that_o there_o be_v no_o admission_n unto_o baptism_n without_o repentance_n and_o it_o be_v the_o very_a same_o doctrine_n that_o peter_n teach_v act_v 2.38_o repent_v and_o be_v baptize_v every_o one_o of_o you_o for_o remission_n of_o sin_n and_o you_o shall_v

these_o thing_n consider_v we_o may_v see_v that_o the_o whole_a man_n be_v mortal_a time_n will_v fail_v i_o to_o write_v the_o particular_a thing_n appertain_v to_o this_o subject_n of_o discourse_n and_o therefore_o i_o shall_v pass_v to_o the_o answer_n of_o some_o few_o objection_n which_o may_v comprehend_v the_o whole_a but_o by_o the_o way_n give_v i_o leave_v to_o show_v you_o a_o glimpse_n of_o what_o the_o scripture_n call_v the_o soul_n in_o which_o you_o may_v see_v how_o many_o thing_n bear_v the_o name_n of_o soul_n in_o scripture_n and_o first_o it_o be_v take_v for_o god_n heb._n 10.28_o it_o be_v take_v for_o the_o heart_n 1_o sam._n 18.1_o for_o the_o eye_n jer._n 13.17_o for_o the_o head_n psalm_n 16.10_o for_o the_o stomach_n prov._n 27.7_o for_o hunger_n prov._n 6.30_o for_o the_o whole_a man_n leu._n 7.20_o act_n 7.14_o rom._n 13.1_o these_o and_o many_o more_o in_o scripture_n be_v call_v by_o the_o name_n of_o soul_n but_o i_o come_v now_o to_o the_o objection_n which_o be_v object_n 1._o fear_v not_o he_o that_o can_v kill_v the_o body_n but_o can_v kill_v the_o soul_n mat._n 10.28_o imply_v that_o there_o be_v a_o soul_n which_o can_v be_v kill_v answ_n this_o be_v the_o most_o material_a text_n that_o i_o know_v of_o to_o that_o purpose_n but_o luke_n which_o be_v the_o most_o exact_a writer_n have_v record_v it_o thus_o luke_n 12.4_o 5._o and_o i_o say_v unto_o you_o my_o friend_n be_v not_o afraid_a of_o they_o that_o can_v kill_v the_o body_n and_o afterward_o have_v no_o more_o that_o they_o can_v do_v but_o fear_v he_o which_o after_o he_o have_v kill_v have_v power_n to_o cast_v into_o hell_n yea_o i_o say_v unto_o you_o fear_v he_o which_o show_v to_o we_o man_n can_v only_o destroy_v the_o body_n which_o be_v mortal_a and_o must_v die_v but_o god_n can_v destroy_v both_o the_o body_n which_o be_v mortal_a and_o also_o cast_v the_o whole_a man_n into_o hell_n when_o it_o be_v immortal_a after_o the_o resurrection_n and_o so_o he_o above_o all_o be_v to_o be_v fear_v and_o that_o this_o in_o short_a be_v the_o meaning_n of_o the_o word_n be_v evident_a because_o the_o soul_n have_v be_v kill_v by_o man_n josh_n 10.35_o but_o after_o the_o resurrection_n none_o can_v destroy_v it_o but_o god_n and_o so_o i_o pass_v to_o the_o next_o objection_n which_o be_v object_n 2._o in_o phil._n 1.23_o 24._o for_o i_o be_o in_o a_o strait_a betwixt_o two_o have_v a_o desire_n to_o depart_v and_o be_v with_o christ_n which_o be_v far_o better_a answ_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v and_o say_v that_o this_o text_n do_v not_o contradict_v the_o state_n of_o man_n mortality_n because_o there_o be_v no_o time_n to_o the_o dead_a that_o be_v to_o say_v that_o the_o time_n between_o adam_n death_n and_o his_o resurrection_n will_v be_v to_o he_o but_o as_o the_o twinkle_n of_o a_o eye_n so_o that_o as_o there_o be_v no_o time_n to_o we_o from_o the_o creation_n to_o our_o birth_n so_o when_o we_o shall_v return_v to_o dust_n from_o whence_o we_o be_v take_v and_o become_v like_o water_n spill_v upon_o the_o ground_n there_o will_v be_v no_o time_n also_o to_o we_o till_o the_o time_n of_o the_o resurrection_n for_o there_o be_v no_o remembrance_n among_o the_o dead_a as_o say_v the_o scripture_n so_o then_o paul_n may_v say_v that_o he_o do_v desire_n to_o be_v dissolve_v and_o to_o be_v with_o christ_n for_o the_o next_o thing_n to_o death_n be_v the_o resurrection_n and_o glory_n for_o the_o godly_a which_o time_n to_o they_o be_v as_o before_o say_v but_o as_o the_o twinkle_n of_o a_o eye_n add_v this_o that_o paul_n tell_v we_o that_o from_o the_o time_n of_o death_n till_o the_o time_n of_o the_o resurrection_n the_o crown_n be_v lay_v up_o to_o be_v receive_v at_o that_o

have_v fight_v a_o good_a fight_n i_o have_v finish_v my_o course_n i_o have_v keep_v the_o faith_n henceforth_o there_o be_v lay_v up_o for_o i_o a_o crown_n of_o righteousness_n which_o god_n the_o righteous_a judge_n will_v give_v unto_o i_o at_o that_o day_n &_o not_o to_o i_o only_o but_o unto_o they_o also_o that_o love_n his_o appearance_n from_o whence_o we_o may_v learn_v that_o the_o

up_o sure_o for_o those_o that_o have_v dye_v in_o the_o faith_n until_o that_o day_n namely_o christ_n appearance_n which_o time_n to_o the_o dead_a will_v be_v no_o more_o than_o a_o moment_n and_o so_o be_v dissolve_v we_o shall_v be_v with_o christ_n which_o be_v far_o better_a and_o so_o i_o shall_v pass_v to_o the_o next_o objection_n which_o be_v object_n 3._o there_o be_v such_o a_o thing_n as_o a_o soul_n that_o go_v to_o heaven_n at_o death_n because_o the_o apostle_n say_v 2_o cor._n 5._o we_o know_v that_o if_o our_o earthly_a house_n of_o this_o tabernacle_n shall_v be_v dissolve_v we_o have_v a_o build_n of_o god_n a_o house_n not_o make_v with_o hand_n eternal_a in_o the_o heaven_n ver_fw-la 6._o therefore_o we_o be_v always_o confident_a know_v that_o while_o we_o be_v at_o home_n in_o the_o body_n we_o be_v absent_a from_o the_o lord_n answ_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v and_o say_v that_o the_o apostle_n in_o this_o place_n do_v not_o so_o much_o as_o hint_n at_o such_o a_o thing_n as_o the_o soul_n be_v immortal_a or_o distinct_a from_o the_o body_n but_o speak_v of_o the_o happy_a estate_n and_o condition_n of_o the_o godly_a at_o that_o time_n when_o mortality_n shall_v be_v swallow_v up_o of_o life_n as_o you_o may_v see_v verse_n the_o 4._o in_o these_o word_n for_o we_o that_o be_v in_o this_o tabernacle_n do_v groan_v be_v burden_v not_o that_o we_o will_v be_v unclothe_v but_o clothe_v upon_o that_o mortality_n may_v be_v swallow_v up_o of_o life_n from_o whence_o we_o may_v see_v that_o the_o apostle_n speak_v in_o this_o place_n of_o mortality_n be_v swallow_v up_o of_o life_n mean_v by_o the_o state_n of_o a_o resurrection_n as_o appear_v from_o the_o 9_o and_o 10_o verse_n where_o he_o say_v that_o it_o be_v their_o care_n to_o labour_n that_o whether_o absent_a from_o the_o lord_n or_o present_a they_o may_v be_v accept_v of_o he_o for_o say_v he_o we_o must_v all_o appear_v before_o the_o judgement_n seat_n of_o

the_o resurrection_n so_o that_o paul_n in_o this_o place_n equivolent_a with_o david_n make_v no_o distance_n of_o time_n between_o the_o put_n off_o this_o body_n and_o the_o put_n on_o immortality_n viz_o the_o resurrection_n which_o show_v that_o there_o be_v no_o time_n to_o the_o dead_a so_o that_o this_o text_n speak_v not_o against_o man_n be_v whole_o mortal_a and_o so_o i_o

shall_v prove_v it_o by_o sircumlocution_n or_o plain_a reason_n draw_v from_o the_o scripture_n and_o the_o first_o be_v reas_n 1._o first_o because_o god_n have_v swear_v by_o himself_o because_o he_o can_v swear_v by_o no_o great_a that_o he_o desire_v not_o the_o death_n of_o such_o as_o die_v or_o of_o the_o wicked_a but_o tell_v they_o that_o their_o destruction_n be_v of_o themselves_o as_o ezek._n 33.11_o in_o these_o word_n say_v unto_o they_o as_o i_o live_v say_v the_o lord_n god_n i_o have_v no_o pleasure_n in_o the_o death_n of_o the_o wicked_a but_o that_o he_o will_v turn_v

that_o god_n be_v so_o far_o from_o decree_a any_o man_n damnation_n simple_o of_o his_o own_o will_n unless_o in_o reference_n to_o their_o reject_v of_o grace_n tender_v that_o he_o have_v enter_v

son_n to_o die_v for_o such_o as_o perish_v for_o without_o blood_n there_o be_v no_o remission_n of_o sin_n so_o then_o there_o can_v be_v a_o tender_a of_o the_o gospel_n which_o be_v remission_n of_o sin_n to_o such_o for_o who_o christ_n die_v not_o but_o more_o of_o that_o anon_o i_o pass_v at_o present_a to_o the_o second_o reason_n to_o prove_v that_o god_n give_v christ_n to_o die_v for_o all_o man_n to_o bring_v they_o to_o a_o resurrection_n and_o glory_n as_o before_o say_v which_o be_v reas_n 2._o second_o because_o as_o god_n have_v swear_v not_o to_o take_v pleasure_n in_o the_o death_n of_o they_o that_o die_v so_o he_o have_v also_o say_v that_o it_o be_v good_a and_o acceptable_a in_o his_o sight_n and_o well_o please_v to_o he_o to_o have_v all_o man_n have_v

all_o godliness_n and_o honesty_n for_o this_o be_v good_a and_o acceptable_a in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n our_o saviour_n who_o will_v have_v all_z man_n to_o be_v save_v and_o come_v to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o truth_n for_o there_o be_v one_o god_n and_o one_o mediator_n between_o god_n and_o man_n the_o man_n christ_n jesus_n who_o give_v himself_o a_o ransom_n for_o all_o to_o be_v testify_v in_o due_a time_n from_o whence_o we_o may_v see_v that_o first_o as_o god_n have_v swear_v by_o himself_o that_o he_o desire_v not_o the_o death_n of_o the_o wicked_a second_o that_o he_o also_o say_v he_o will_v have_v all_o man_n save_v and_o that_o they_o may_v be_v save_v he_o say_v that_o he_o give_v christ_n to_o be_v a_o ransom_n for_o all_o man_n so_o that_o from_o these_o two_o reason_n you_o may_v see_v god_n love_n to_o all_o man_n extend_v and_o i_o pass_v to_o the_o three_o reason_n which_o be_v reas_n 3._o three_o because_o god_n have_v command_v the_o gospel_n

these_o and_o many_o more_o scripture_n that_o may_v be_v add_v we_o may_v see_v that_o the_o candlestick_n with_o the_o lamp_n and_o pipe_n viz._n the_o minister_a vessel_n unto_o the_o lamp_n and_o candelstick_a be_v the_o same_o that_o god_n show_v unto_o moses_n in_o the_o pattern_n and_o appoint_v it_o to_o remain_v in_o the_o temple_n and_o after_o that_o pattern_n it_o be_v make_v in_o

haggai_n who_o speak_v of_o one_o and_o the_o same_o thing_n he_o will_v tell_v we_o that_o zerubbabel_n and_o joshua_n according_a to_o zechariahs_n word_n that_o he_o shall_v lay_v the_o

that_o anon_o but_o in_o a_o short_a sentence_n i_o further_o add_v this_o as_o a_o reason_n to_o prove_v that_o the_o prophecy_n of_o zechariah_n chap._n 4._o most_o primely_a relate_v to_o the_o redify_n of_o jerusalem_n at_o their_o come_n out_o of_o the_o seventy_o year_n of_o captivity_n because_o that_o both_o haggai_n and_o zechariah_n have_v the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n come_v to_o they_o both_o at_o that_o time_n as_o to_o haggai_n the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n come_v to_o he_o in_o the_o six_o &_o seven_o month_n in_o the_o second_o year_n of_o darius_n chap._n 1.1_o chap._n 2.1_o and_o to_o zechariah_n it_o come_v in_o the_o eight_o month_n in_o the_o same_o year_n zech._n 1.1_o and_o the_o work_n of_o both_o prophet_n be_v to_o stir_v up_o the_o people_n to_o the_o work_n of_o building_n of_o the_o house_n of_o god_n for_o they_o be_v hinder_v by_o subtlety_n in_o the_o day_n of_o cyrus_n because_o that_o zerubbabel_n and_o joshua_n and_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o chief_a of_o the_o father_n will_v not_o let_v the_o people_n of_o the_o land_n build_v with_o they_o as_o you_o may_v see_v at_o large_a in_o ezra_n 4.1_o 2_o 3_o 4_o 5_o 6._o that_o they_o at_o

of_o the_o lord_n stir_v they_o up_o by_o the_o two_o fore_n mention_v prophet_n namely_o haggai_n and_o zechariah_n that_o they_o may_v go_v on_o to_o finish_v the_o work_n for_o zerubbabel_n have_v

with_o the_o word_n of_o zechariah_n chap._n 4.9_o in_o these_o word_n the_o hand_n of_o zerubbabel_n have_v lay_v the_o foundation_n of_o this_o house_n his_o hand_n also_o shall_v finish_v it_o

that_o what_o i_o have_v say_v be_v undeniable_o true_a and_o that_o be_v the_o thing_n that_o zechariah_n speak_v of_o in_o chap._n 4._o which_o mr._n henden_fw-ge will_v have_v to_o be_v a_o

from_o the_o prophet_n to_o witness_v it_o but_o further_o you_o may_v see_v that_o there_o will_v be_v a_o temple_n although_o not_o the_o union_n of_o the_o seal_a number_n as_o mr._n henden_fw-ge suppose_v which_o have_v be_v already_o answer_v but_o a_o material_a temple_n as_o say_v st._n paul_n 2_o thes_n 2.4_o he_o viz._n the_o man_n of_o sin_n or_o antichrist_n shall_v sit_v in_o the_o

to_o be_v the_o temple_n of_o god_n in_o a_o spiritual_a sense_n which_o be_v the_o seat_n of_o the_o man_n of_o sin_n but_o in_o a_o material_a temple_n it_o have_v be_v so_o already_o and_o will_v
