in his judgment I will desire no mercy but I will be content to be put to death under the judgment of a Jury of twelve honest men but what saith the Scripture Cast out the bondwoman and her sonne for the sonne of the bond-woman shall not be heire with the son of the free woman Gal. 4. the sonne of the bond-woman plainly signifieth the Devill and the old Law for the old Law is the spirit of bondage and so is the devill as I in this book have plainly proved Now I will shew you in brief of Gods love and mercy For if the Pope and his Clergy and the Bishops and their Clergy will forsake the old Law and their false power and false doctrines and traditions which is contrary to the true worship and will of God and then be reconciled to Christ and the second covenant of grace God is rich in mercy to forgive them and receive them into his everlasting kingdome of glory Wherefore I will conclude with S. Paul as it is written 1 Tim. 2.3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God out Saviour who will have all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth for there is one God and one Mediator betweene God and men the man Christ Jesus who gave himselfe ransome for all to be testified in due time whereunto I am ordained a Preacher I say againe whereunto God my glorious Father hath ordained me to be a Preacher I speake the truth in Christ and lye not for the spirit of God drawes but one way that is to Christ and to the obedience of the new Covenant my text saith All things that reproveth are made manifest by the light Now by that light God hath given to me I shall reprove the Anabaptist which will not allow young children to be baptized but by the help of God I will prove in briefe by human reason and spirituall signification of Scripture that they are deceived in their judgement my first proofe is Heb 10. For the Law having a shadow of good things to come which doth signifie that the old Law was a type and shadow of the New for the Apostle saith plainly concerning the Jews which were under the Old Law he saith they were baptized to Moses in the cloud 1 Cor. 10.2 the cloud signifieth the Old Law now I understand that Moses did not baptise with water but to signifie that circumcision was a type of Baptisme and young children were circumcised at eight dayes old Againe I finde it written Acts 16. concerning the Jaylor and Lydia which were converted by S. Paul it is said they and all their houshold were baptized Now what man is able to gainsay but those two persons might have young children that were baptized by S. Paul Againe Acts 2. when the Apostle told the Jews that they had crucified the Lord of life they were pricked in their hearts and said Men and brethren what shall we do Peter answered Repent and be baptized and ye shall receive the gift of the holy Ghost for the promise is to you and to your children these places of Scripture doth plainly signifie that all young children of faithfull parents are to be baptized to the mysticall body of Christ Againe Christ said Suffer little children to come to me and forbid them not for to such belongeth the kingdome of God Marke this point I beseech you for Christ saith plainly that the kingdome of God doth belong to young children and Christ and his Gospell signifie Christ and his Kingdome Now if I aske the Anabaptists if they doe beleeve the Baptisme with water to be an holy Ordinance which doth belong to the body of Christ and to the second Covenant of grace they will answer yea why then my answer to them is in briefe that all those that will not suffer young children to be baptized they doe exclude them from the mysticall body of Christ and from the second Covenant of grace I pray God give all such people grace to forsake that wicked practise or else they will draw downe the fiery wrath of God upon their owne soules and thus I praise God I have proved in briefe by humane reason and by plaine signification of Scripture that young children must be baptized Againe I have shewed you that those two beasts doth signifie the Pope and his clergy and the Bishops and their Clergy that their false power are both as one It is written Iohn 16.13 14. Christ saith plainly When he the Spirit of truth is come he will guide you into all truth he shall glorifie me for he shall receive of mine and shall shew it unto you marke I beseech you the commanding power of God for Christ Jesus who in the true and perfect God he saith expresly that the spirit of truth shal receive of his and shal shew it unto you Now by that spirit of truth which Christ hath given unto me I will shew you in briefe the true signification of Christ and his glorious Church with those holy Ordinances which doth belong unto it for there are three that beare record in heaven the Father the Word and the holy Ghost and these three are one 1 Iohn 5.1 the Word signifieth Christ Jesus who is the second person in Trinity and all those people that will be reconciled to Christ and to the divine power of his word their spirits shal be joyned to the glorious Trinity my first proofe is in 2 Cor. 13.5 Examine your selves whether ye be in the faith know you not that Christ Jesus is in you except yee bee reprobates But how is Christ in his people my answer is by the vertue and divine power of his word which is revealed in his Gospel Again 1 Cor. 6.19 What know you not that your body is the temple of the holy Ghost which is in you Againe Ephes 4.4 There is one body one spirit one faith one God and Father of all who is above all and through all and in you all These three places of Scripture doth plainly prove and justifie that all those people that will be reconciled to Christ and to the obedience of his word which is revealed in the New Testament their spirits shall be joyned to the holy and glorious Trinity Father Son and holy Ghost which shall be all ingraffed as in one man though they shall be in number thousands of thousands and thus I praise God I have shewed you in briefe the true foundation of true and sound Religion which by the help of God I dare boldly say that the Devill and all his carnall Ministers shall never be able for to overthrow or shake this foundation Now by the help of God I will shew you in briefe how and after what manner children are to be baptized for I think it fit that the Minister first reade that portion of Scripture Gal. 3.21 For if there had beene a Law given that could have given life verily righteousnesse should have beene by
A plaine and briefe discovery of those two beasts that are written Revel 13. AND To show what dishonour and disgrace the Clergie bring against Christ and his glorious Church in reading some part of the Service-Book Againe I praise God I have shewed in briefe the true signification of Christ and his glorious Church with those holy Ordinances that doe belong unto it Gathered and directed by that grace God hath give to me James Hunt All glory be to God on high Printed for J.H. 1643. IT is written Eph. 5.13 All things that are reproved ●e ●●a●●●nifest by the light Now by that glorious light God hath given to me I will show you the signification of those two beasts that are written Rev. 13. The first beast riseth out of the sea which signifieth the Pope and all his Clergy which have gathered to themselves so many false doctrines that the Spirit of God compares it unto the deep and broad sea But the second beast he cometh up out of the earth which signifieth the Bishops here in England and all their Clergy which have gathered to themselves so many false written books that for their number they may be compared unto the starres in the firmament which false written books do arise and proceed from the devill who is called the god of the earth and by those false written books the Bishops and their Clergy have deceived all those people that are as yet held under their power but the people whom the Clergy have blinded they cry out against me saying who hath made thee a Judge or a Preacher My answer is God my glorious Father and Christ Jesus my redeemer they have raised me up by the vertue and divine power of their Word for to be a Judge and a Preacher for to judge and divide betwixt truth and errour light and darknesse for I hope all that shall read this book they may understand from whence my judgment doth arise and proceed Again it is said the second beast he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him Now I will prove that the Pope and his Clergy and the Bishops and their Clergy their power not long ago was both as one First for the Pope he hath made the people believe that no man can be a true and sound Preacher but he must be brought up in the Universities and so say the Bishops and their Clergy but alas they are deceived upon both sides for God hath laid the Gospell in such a complete way that if there be a mystery or parable that speaketh somthing dark in one place a man may find two or three places for to prove and justifie what that dark mystery signifieth and that is the true and perfect way to open and unfold the mysteries of God to the true meaning and signification and I praise God I can prove these things may be done without the help of the Latin or Greek tongue for I can prove it by plain truth of Scripture Againe for the Pope he will not allow that any man shall be a Preacher for to declare his mind to the people but first he must be sworne for to observe those Canons and articles that the Pope or some of his Assignes shall set forth The very same power did belong to the Bishops here in England Againe for the Pope all Magistrates and Church-Wardens are sworne for to uphold the Pope and his Clergy in their way that if any man reprove them for to say their power or their doctrine is false then the Magistrates cast him into prison or els the Church-Wardens will complaine of him in the Spirituall Court and when he comes there if he do not play the hypocrite and say he is sorry for that he said and fee the Officers with money he shall be cast into prison if not put to death The very same power not long agoe did belong to the Bishops and their Clergy here in England Againe for the Pope he and all his Clergy have deceived the people in making the people believe that the old law is a rule of obedience for the people to be led and guided by and so say the Bishops and all their Clergy But they are deceived on both sides in their judgment for I can prove the more they bring the people under the obedience of the old Law the more they bring them under the bondage of the devill My first proofe is Heb. 2.14 Forasmuch then as the children were made partakers of flesh and bloud Christ likewise tooke part of the same that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death that is the devill and so to deliver all those who through feare of death were all their life time subject to bondage This place of Scripture doth plainly signifie that all those people that were under the old Law they were under a yoke of bondage untill Christ freed them by his suffering on the crosse Again Rom. 7.6 the Apostle saith plainly and so say I Now we are delivered from the Law that being dead wherein we were held as under the chaines and bondage of Satan that we should serve in newnesse of spirit and not in the oldnesse of the letter that is in newnesse of the Gospell and not in the oldnesse of the law Thus I have proved in briefe that the old Law is the spirit of bondage and so is the devill And hereby I have overthrown the Pope and his Clergy and the Bishops their Clergy in their judgment because they say the old law is a rule of obedience Againe I will shew you in briefe that S. Pauls false zeale was to the old Law when he was a persecuter of Christ for he saith plainly conserning his zeal persecuting the Church Touching the righteousnesse that is in the Law blamelesse Phil. 3. Thus I have proved in briefe that S. Pauls false zeale was to the old Law when he was a persecutor of the Church of Christ and in so doing let any man judge if he were not an enemy to God and a friend unto the Devill and so will all those Divines be found and proved so to be that keep the people under the obedience of the old Law Againe I say all those Magistrates and Church-wardens will be found to be Gods great enemies that shall strive to uphold the Clergy in their wickednesse and thus I have proved in briefe and shall prove againe at large that those two beasts signifie the Pope and his Clergy and the Bishops here in England and their Clergy which by their false power as conserning Church government and false doctrine they keepe the people under the bondage and captivity of the devill and the plaine truth is many of the Magistrates and Church-wardens doe yet uphold them in their abominable wickednesse for they will not suffer the Prophets of God to reprove them for their false power and their false doctrines which is abominable in the sight of our glorious God My text saith All
