A41067	A touch-stone, or, A perfect tryal by the Scriptures, of all the priests, bishops, and ministers, who have called themselves, the ministers of the Gospel whose time and day hath been in the last ages past, or rather in the night of apostacy : they are tried and weighed by the Scriptures of truth, and are found out of the life and power of the scriptures, and out of the spirit and doctrine of them that gave them forth, and quite contrary to their principle and practice, both Papists and Protestants : unto which is annexed, Womens speaking justified, &c.

they_o be_v baptise_a in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n and_o when_o paul_n have_v lay_v his_o hand_n upon_o they_o the_o holy_a ghost_n come_v upon_o they_o and_o they_o speak_v with_o

into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n must_v be_v as_o a_o little_a child_n so_o by_o all_o these_o scripture_n we_o may_v see_v that_o he_o own_v little_a child_n above_o all_o other_o now_o how_o it_o come_v that_o they_o throw_v water_n upon_o they_o to_o give_v a_o addition_n to_o that_o innocent_a state_n while_o they_o be_v infant_n this_o be_v certain_o a_o invention_n and_o a_o imagination_n of_o their_o own_o for_o there_o be_v nothing_o in_o scripture_n for_o it_o indeed_o john_n the_o baptist_n who_o be_v send_v before_o christ_n to_o preach_v the_o baptism_n of_o repentance_n he_o baptize_v those_o that_o receive_v his_o doctrine_n with_o water_n in_o jordan_n but_o we_o do_v not_o find_v that_o he_o put_v infant_n in_o that_o be_v not_o according_a to_o his_o doctrine_n which_o be_v repentance_n for_o infant_n be_v not_o capable_a to_o repent_v and_o when_o the_o jew_n send_v the_o priest_n and_o levite_n to_o inquire_v of_o john_n what_o he_o be_v they_o ask_v why_o he_o baptize_v if_o he_o be_v not_o the_o christ_n neither_o elias_n nor_o that_o prophet_n john_n answer_v they_o say_v i_o indeed_o baptize_v with_o water_n unto_o repentance_n but_o there_o stand_v one_o among_o you_o who_o you_o know_v not_o he_o it_o be_v who_o come_v after_o i_o and_o be_v prefer_v before_o i_o who_o shoe_n latchet_n i_o be_o not_o worthy_a to_o unloose_v this_o be_v beyond_o jordan_n where_o john_n be_v baptise_v say_v he_o and_o i_o know_v he_o not_o but_o he_o that_o send_v i_o to_o baptize_v with_o water_n the_o same_o say_v unto_o i_o upon_o who_o thou_o shall_v see_v the_o spirit_n descend_v and_o remain_v on_o he_o the_o same_o be_v he_o that_o baptize_v with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n john_n 1_o and_o matthew_n say_v in_o those_o day_n come_v john_n the_o baptist_n preach_v in_o the_o wilderness_n of_o judea_n and_o say_v repent_v for_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n be_v at_o hand_n etc._n etc._n i_o indeed_o baptize_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 baptize_v you_o with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o with_o fire_n mat._n 3._o it_o be_v say_v in_o john_n 3_o after_o that_o christ_n have_v be_v preach_v and_o speak_v to_o nichodemus_n and_o have_v be_v preach_v the_o light_n to_o he_o that_o he_o and_o his_o disciple_n come_v to_o judea_n and_o there_o he_o tarry_v with_o they_o and_o baptize_v and_o the_o disciple_n of_o john_n and_o some_o of_o the_o jew_n be_v at_o difference_n about_o purify_n and_o they_o come_v to_o john_n and_o say_v he_o that_o thou_o bear_v witness_v of_o baptize_v john_n answer_v and_o say_v you_o yourselves_o bear_v i_o witness_v that_o i_o say_v i_o be_o not_o the_o christ_n but_o i_o be_o send_v before_o he_o he_o must_v increase_v but_o i_o must_v decrease_v when_o jesus_n therefore_o know_v that_o the_o pharisee_n hear_v that_o he_o baptize_v and_o make_v disciple_n more_o than_o john_n though_o jesus_n himself_o baptize_v not_o but_o his_o disciple_n he_o leave_v judca_n and_o depart_v john_n 4._o also_o when_o john_n be_v preach_v and_o baptise_v and_o preach_v repentance_n and_o remission_n of_o sin_n then_o come_v jesus_n from_o galilee_n to_o jordan_n unto_o john_n to_o be_v baptize_v of_o he_o but_o john_n forbid_v he_o say_v i_o have_v more_o need_n to_o be_v baptize_v of_o thou_o and_o come_v thou_o to_o i_o and_o jesus_n answer_v say_v suffer_v it_o to_o be_v so_o now_o for_o thus_o it_o become_v we_o to_o fulfil_v all_o righteousness_n and_o jesus_n when_o he_o be_v baptize_v go_v up_o straightway_o out_o of_o the_o water_n and_o the_o heaven_n be_v open_v unto_o he_o and_o he_o see_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n descend_v like_o a_o dove_n and_o light_v upon_o he_o and_o a_o voice_n come_v from_o heaven_n say_v this_o be_v my_o belove_a son_n in_o who_o i_o be_o well_o please_v mat._n 3._o this_o be_v the_o main_a scripture_n that_o the_o baptist_n build_v upon_o for_o their_o water-baptism_n and_o here_o be_v a_o secret_a in_o this_o which_o they_o never_o come_v to_o see_v for_o john_n say_v i_o know_v he_o not_o but_o that_o he_o shall_v be_v make_v manifest_a to_o israel_n therefore_o be_o i_o come_v baptise_v with_o water_n and_o john_n bare_a record_n say_v i_o see_v the_o spirit_n descend_v from_o heaven_n like_o a_o dove_n and_o it_o abide_v upon_o he_o and_o i_o know_v he_o not_o now_o how_o do_v the_o baptist_n know_v he_o and_o the_o end_n wherefore_o he_o go_v into_o the_o water_n since_o that_o john_n do_v not_o know_v it_o nor_o will_v not_o have_v have_v he_o to_o have_v do_v so_o who_o be_v a_o man_n send_v of_o god_n to_o baptise_v with_o water_n till_o he_o say_v it_o be_v to_o fulfil_v all_o righteousness_n which_o word_n be_v hide_v from_o john_n as_o he_o afterward_o say_v but_o that_o he_o shall_v be_v make_v manifest_a to_o israel_n therefore_o he_o come_v baptise_v with_o water_n and_o so_o afterward_o when_o christ_n be_v teach_v nichodemus_n when_o he_o tell_v he_o that_o those_o that_o be_v to_o enter_v into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n must_v be_v bear_v of_o the_o water_n of_o the_o spirit_n these_o thing_n be_v strange_a unto_o he_o but_o condemn_v jesus_n say_v we_o speak_v what_o we_o know_v and_o testify_v what_o we_o have_v see_v and_o you_o believe_v not_o our_o testimoony_n if_o i_o have_v tell_v you_o earthly_a thing_n and_o you_o believe_v they_o not_o how_o shall_v ●e_n believe_v if_o i_o tell_v you_o of_o heavenly_a thing_n to_o the_o same_o purpose_n the_o apostle_n say_v there_o be_v three_o that_o bear_v record_n in_o the_o earth_n the_o spirit_n the_o water_n and_o the_o blood_n and_o these_o three_o agree_v in_o one_o 1_o john_n 5._o it_o be_v good_a for_o the_o baptist_n to_o know_v this_o water_n and_o this_o baptism_n and_o this_o spirit_n by_o which_o they_o may_v he_o bear_v again_o and_o to_o know_v the_o wash_n of_o the_o regeneration_n and_o renew_v of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n for_o this_o be_v the_o wash_v and_o water_n that_o the_o saint_n be_v wash_v with_o they_o be_v make_v clean_o through_o the_o word_n by_o the_o wash_n of_o the_o water_n of_o the_o word_n ephes_n 5._o now_o for_o the_o baptist_n to_o stand_v wash_v with_o outward_a water_n which_o john_n baptize_v with_o who_o be_v before_o christ_n which_o be_v a_o figure_n of_o the_o inward_a wash_n and_o cleanse_v and_o purge_v as_o the_o apostle_n peter_n say_v the_o same_o when_o he_o be_v speak_v of_o noah_n preach_v while_n he_o make_v the_o ark_n wherein_o few_o that_o be_v eight_o person_n be_v live_v by_o water_n the_o like_a figure_n say_v he_o whereunto_o even_o baptism_n do_v now_o save_v we_o not_o the_o put_v away_o the_o filth_n of_o the_o flesh_n but_o the_o answer_n of_o a_o good_a conscience_n towards_o god_n by_o the_o resurrection_n of_o jesus_n christ_n 1_o pet._n 3._o 21._o who_o blood_n and_o the_o water_n and_o spirit_n which_o he_o baptize_v with_o be_v the_o true_a and_o only_a baptism_n for_o john_n himself_o say_v he_o must_v decrease_v and_o christ_n must_v increase_v and_o for_o they_o to_o stand_v wash_v here_o with_o outward_a water_n and_o their_o heart_n and_o conscience_n defile_v and_o pollute_v this_o will_v be_v of_o little_a value_n to_o they_o for_o john_n who_o be_v a_o man_n send_v of_o god_n and_o bear_v a_o true_a witness_n of_o christ_n jesus_n yet_o after_o he_o be_v cast_v into_o prison_n he_o send_v his_o disciple_n to_o ask_v be_v thou_o he_o or_o do_v we_o look_v for_o another_o he_o be_v ●●r_a beyond_o the_o anabaptist_n so_o it_o concern_v they_o to_o question_v their_o state_n and_o condition_n for_o they_o that_o look_v at_o the_o outward_a element_n of_o water_n to_o be_v the_o baptism_n they_o be_v far_o from_o the_o real_a and_o true_a wash_n and_o from_o that_o baptism_n that_o baptize_v into_o the_o body_n when_o paul_n come_v to_o ephesus_n and_o find_v certain_a disciple_n he_o say_v unto_o they_o have_v you_o receive_v the_o holy_a ghost_n since_o you_o believe_v they_o say_v we_o have_v not_o so_o much_o as_o hear_v whether_o there_o be_v
