A76101 The arrovv of the Almighty shot out of the creatures bowe, against the uncalled ministers in England. Or, A messages sent to them to forewarn them of their determined destruction, before it fall upon them. Likewise here is shewed, from whence they had their calling into the ministery; and how all people have been decieved by them. Here is also a glass wherein all formalists may see their own deformity, and so seek after that which is the substance, wherein all their deformity shall be done away. Likewise here is opened the mystery of the Lords Supper, and the mystery in Baptism; and how there is a threefold Baptism, having relation to the three fold name of Father, Son, and Holy Ghost; with other truths very needful to be known. All of them being laid down in as brief a manner as possiblemay be, for the use and instruction of the Presbyterians, Independants, and Anabaptists, so called; or for the good of all others who have a minde to seek God in a right way; and in the conclusion, a word to the free-gracians.

and_o therefore_o while_o you_o pretend_v and_o preach_v faith_n so_o much_o you_o bring_v but_o the_o soul_n of_o the_o people_n into_o a_o snare_n and_o they_o be_v in_o as_o great_a danger_n to_o

you_o have_v err_v in_o give_v that_o to_o the_o type_n which_o belong_v to_o the_o thing_n signify_v by_o it_o so_o in_o this_o also_o you_o do_v the_o same_o for_o though_o you_o have_v some_o

may_v both_o become_v wise_a in_o that_o which_o be_v the_o power_n and_o true_a wisdom_n itself_o without_o which_o you_o shall_v all_o perish_v in_o your_o form_n now_o in_o the_o first_o place_n i_o come_v to_o speak_v a_o word_n of_o your_o conclusion_n you_o draw_v from_o this_o type_n of_o baptism_n viz._n that_o it_o be_v a_o holy_a thing_n and_o that_o by_o administer_a the_o same_o to_o

case_n one_o live_v and_o be_v not_o baptize_v that_o he_o be_v not_o or_o can_v be_v incorporate_v into_o christ_n and_o so_o you_o make_v this_o type_n a_o god_n or_o a_o christ_n by_o way_n of_o consequence_n though_o you_o deny_v the_o same_o with_o your_o tongue_n and_o i_o do_v positive_o deny_v all_o your_o conclusion_n and_o the_o consequence_n draw_v from_o your_o conclusion_n be_v make_v a_o god_n this_o i_o do_v affirm_v and_o will_v prove_v the_o truth_n both_o of_o what_o i_o deny_v and_o what_o i_o affirm_v now_o your_o conclusion_n be_v fourfold_a i_o come_v to_o the_o first_o viz._n that_o baptism_n be_v holy_a which_o i_o both_o deny_v and_o confess_v this_o may_v seem_v logical_a but_o it_o be_v not_o so_o as_o you_o shall_v see_v in_o define_v my_o own_o

and_o set_v apart_o for_o the_o sacrifice_n and_o so_o the_o scripture_n be_v call_v holy_a 2_o tim._n 3.15_o and_o so_o the_o work_n of_o man_n be_v sometime_o call_v holy_a but_o all_o these_o be_v but_o call_v holy_a in_o respect_n of_o the_o end_n and_o the_o thing_n point_v out_o or_o signify_v and_o this_o be_v but_o a_o outward_a or_o external_a holiness_n and_o this_o i_o confess_v but_o that_o holiness_n which_o you_o blind_o put_v upon_o outward_a thing_n or_o type_n that_o i_o deny_v and_o so_o in_o this_o type_n of_o baptism_n i_o deny_v any_o further_a holiness_n than_o what_o be_v external_a and_o all_o external_a holiness_n a_o man_n may_v have_v and_o act_n and_o live_v in_o all_o the_o particular_n thereof_o and_o yet_o go_v to_o bear_v the_o devil_n company_n in_o

shall_v confute_v in_o speak_v of_o your_o second_o conclusion_n wherein_o you_o affirm_v that_o by_o the_o administring_n of_o the_o same_o a_o child_n become_v incorporate_v or_o ingraft_v into_o

in_o this_o your_o conclusion_n you_o have_v make_v this_o type_n no_o less_o than_o god_n himself_o as_o here_o i_o prove_v it_o for_o there_o be_v no_o act_n of_o any_o creature_n can_v engraft_v into_o christ_n and_o this_o be_v no_o more_o i_o hope_v then_o the_o act_n of_o a_o creature_n and_o but_o a_o bodily_a work_n and_o bodily_a service_n profit_v nothing_o 1_o tim._n 4.8_o and_o our_o

in_o the_o pure_a way_n in_o any_o duty_n or_o ordinance_n which_o all_o be_v but_o external_a righteousness_n and_o outward_a holiness_n all_o these_o be_v but_o as_o filthy_a garment_n and_o menstruous_a clothes_n isa_n 64.9_o then_o if_o it_o be_v true_a what_o the_o scripture_n say_v the_o which_o you_o can_v deny_v then_o be_v you_o of_o those_o who_o you_o call_v antiscripturians_a for_o those_o be_v they_o that_o walk_v contrary_a to_o scripture_n by_o tradition_n and_o though_o you_o confess_v the_o truth_n with_o your_o tongue_n yet_o in_o your_o action_n you_o deny_v the_o same_o for_o no_o scripture_n will_v bear_v you_o out_o in_o say_v that_o any_o external_a obedience_n do_v incorporate_v any_o soul_n into_o christ_n or_o to_o engraft_v into_o the_o divine_a

but_o your_o foolish_a conceit_n raise_v in_o you_o by_o the_o custom_n of_o tradition_n by_o which_o you_o have_v make_v the_o command_n and_o power_n of_o god_n without_o effect_n and_o hereby_o you_o make_v a_o god_n of_o this_o ordinance_n or_o type_n institute_v and_o give_v that_o to_o it_o which_o of_o right_n do_v belong_v to_o himself_o and_o the_o incorporate_n any_o soul_n into_o

himself_o in_o work_v out_o the_o salvation_n of_o soul_n and_o his_o honour_n he_o will_v not_o give_v to_o another_o isa_n 42.8_o and_o it_o be_v his_o own_o arm_n that_o bring_v salvation_n and_o it_o be_v of_o his_o own_o will_n that_o he_o beget_v any_o to_o himself_o jam._n 1.18_o but_o i_o know_v you_o may_v object_v that_o god_n work_v his_o work_n by_o mean_n and_o answer_v you_o in_o ordinance_n to_o which_o i_o say_v it_o be_v true_a sometime_o he_o have_v do_v so_o but_o yet_o these_o be_v his_o own_o ordinance_n and_o not_o the_o tradition_n of_o man_n and_o yet_o his_o own_o

jerusalem_n etc._n etc._n jer._n 42.13_o and_o the_o reason_n be_v because_o the_o people_n make_v god_n of_o they_o and_o count_v they_o holy_a and_o so_o worship_v they_o giving_z that_o to_o the_o creature_n which_o do_v belong_v to_o the_o creator_n and_o so_o become_v blind_v in_o their_o understanding_n not_o know_v how_o to_o put_v a_o difference_n between_o the_o ordinance_n and_o the_o

your_o act_n from_o whence_o you_o draw_v your_o foolish_a conclusion_n and_o though_o this_o ordinance_n of_o baptism_n institute_v by_o john_n and_o commend_v by_o christ_n be_v tolerable_a in_o

be_v incorporate_v into_o the_o divine_a nature_n this_o be_v the_o life_n and_o bliss_n of_o all_o bless_a soul_n and_o in_o what_o you_o affirm_v in_o your_o first_o and_o second_o conclusion_n you_o may_v absolute_o deny_v that_o any_o can_v be_v save_v before_o baptize_v for_o this_o do_v undeniable_o follow_v and_o as_o your_o form_n and_o conclusion_n be_v but_o error_n so_o this_o three_o draw_v out_o of_o the_o two_o former_a be_v error_n also_o as_o here_o i_o prove_v plain_o first_o i_o hope_v you_o dare_v not_o deny_v but_o that_o circumcision_n be_v a_o ordinance_n of_o god_n and_o yet_o you_o dare_v not_o conclude_v that_o all_o that_o die_v before_o it_o be_v institute_v be_v damn_v neither_o all_o that_o under_o go_v the_o same_o ordinance_n be_v save_v and_o though_o this_o baptism_n be_v a_o ordinance_n yet_o dare_v you_o not_o conclude_v that_o any_o be_v not_o save_v before_o it_o be_v institute_v neither_o that_o all_o be_v save_v who_o be_v baptize_v then_o if_o god_n have_v a_o way_n to_o save_v before_o the_o institution_n of_o any_o ordinance_n then_o by_o the_o same_o way_n he_o can_v save_v without_o the_o ordinance_n and_o the_o truth_n be_v by_o the_o same_o way_n he_o save_v under_o ordinance_n and_o therefore_o the_o same_o way_n he_o save_v without_o ordinance_n the_o ordinance_n itself_o do_v not_o save_v and_o that_o way_n which_o god_n save_v all_o soul_n by_o and_o through_o be_v his_o own_o wisdom_n power_n and_o righteousness_n viz._n his_o christ_n in_o the_o divine_a nature_n by_o which_o he_o be_v in_o the_o father_n

administer_a of_o any_o ordinance_n or_o live_v under_o any_o ordinance_n that_o save_v and_o therefore_o i_o conclude_v true_o and_o upon_o true_a ground_n that_o if_o child_n die_v or_o any_o other_o though_o not_o baptize_v may_v be_v save_v as_o well_o as_o those_o who_o be_v baptize_v and_o all_o by_o virtue_n of_o the_o divine_a nature_n who_o be_v not_o tie_v to_o or_o give_v to_o

eph._n 2.8_o and_o faith_n may_v be_v give_v of_o god_n without_o the_o administration_n of_o a_o ordinance_n if_o you_o deny_v this_o than_o you_o deny_v scripture_n for_o faith_n be_v before_o
