A90866 Theos anthrōpophoros. Or, God incarnate. Shewing, that Jesus Christ is the onely, and the most high God· In four books. Wherein also are contained a few animadversions upon a late namelesse and blasphemous commentary on the Epistle to the Hebrewes, published under the capital letters, G.M. anno Dom. 1647. In these four books the great mystery of man's redemption and salvation, and the wayes and means thereof used by God are evidently held out to the capacity of humane reason, even ordinary understandings. The sin against the Holy Ghost is plainly described; with the cases and reasons of the unpardonablenesse, or pardonablenesse thereof. Anabaptisme, is by Scripture, and the judgment of the fathers shewed to be an heinous sin, and exceedingly injurious to the Passion, and blood of Christ. / By Edm. Porter, B.D. sometimes fellow of St. John's Colledge in Cambridge, and prebend of Norwich. Porter, Edmund, 1595-1670.; Downame, John, d. 1652. 1655 (1655) Wing P2985; Thomason E1596_1; ESTC R203199 270,338 411

be_v a_o renew_v sacramental_a and_o baptismal_a when_o a_o man_n be_v baptize_v or_o illuminate_v and_o thereby_o initiate_v to_o a_o new_a state_n and_o way_n of_o live_v according_a to_o new_a

he_o renew_v because_o he_o may_v repent_v three_o the_o reader_n may_v take_v notice_n that_o in_o this_o place_n the_o word_n illuminate_v and_o renew_v be_v of_o the_o same_o signification_n so_o that_o the_o meaning_n be_v that_o he_o that_o be_v once_o by_o baptism_n illuminate_v can_v again_o by_o baptism_n be_v illuminate_v and_o he_o that_o be_v once_o by_o baptism_n renew_v can_v again_o by_o baptism_n be_v renew_a to_o repentance_n four_o a_o man_n may_v once_o be_v enlighten_v and_o baptize_v and_o thereby_o renew_a to_o amendment_n of_o life_n and_o repentance_n and_o freedom_n or_o acquitment_n from_o his_o sin_n past_a and_o this_o by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n in_o the_o laver_n of_o regeneration_n and_o by_o the_o virtue_n of_o christ_n death_n but_o after_o this_o one_o renew_v by_o baptism_n he_o can_v again_o be_v renew_a to_o resipiscence_n newness_n of_o life_n and_o acquitment_n from_o his_o sin_n by_o a_o new_a baptism_n to_o renew_v they_o all_o though_o
