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.

confirmed and strengthened thus you have wrested the command of Christ herein to the end he never aymed it for for in this your doing you differ not from the Papists themselves in the substance of this thing only you differ in the circumstances and that is all for they pretend they eate the Body and Bloud of Christ substantially and by so doing they say they live in Christ and he liveth in them thereby and you say in this you eate him Spiritually and by so doing you live in him and he in you and that you have your faith much confirmed to you in this your act O poore blinded fooles you are herein misled by your blinde Priests for this is but one of their owne precepts by which they have undone you for they have played the Mountebankes with you herein and have made you beleeve lyes for truth for this your act doth not at all confirme your faith in case you have faith but I will tell you true what you have confirmed viz. conceit or fancy and no more I shall prove it true whether you will beleeve me or no for there is nothing that doth confirme faith but that same that giveth faith but no act of the Creature giveth or createth faith or maketh faith to grow in the heart of any man and the giving and receiving of Bread and Wine is but an act of the Creature which is within the compasse of its owne power to doe or not to doe this I thinke you will confesse and if this act had that vertue in it to give faith who would want faith but I thinke you are not yet so farre blinde as to say plainly that faith is given to any by vertue of this act but yet you may as well say that faith is given thereby as say that faith is confirmed thereby for the giving faith and confirming of faith is both from one and the same fountaine and God himselfe is the Giver of faith as you may see Eph. 2.8 then if God be the Giver of faith he is also the confirmer of it without the acts of the Creature and this truth the Apostle affirmeth to the Corinthians and thanketh God on their behalfe for the graces given them of him whereby the testimony of Jesus Christ was confirmed in them and that they waited for a further manifestation of Christ who should confirme them to the end that they might be kept blamelesse 1 Cor. 1.5 6 7 8 9. and as God in and by his Son Jesus is both the giver and confirmer of faith so by him he alwayes upholdeth the soule in faith whensoever it hath need of the operation of the same for he is both the beginning and the ending of faith yea the author and finisher of faith Heb. 12.2 And this the Disciples knew when they said Lord increase our faith Luke 17.5 And it was Christ himself that strengthned Peters faith Luke 22.32 By all which you may see plainly that the receiving of Bread and Wine is not faith confirmed strengthned or compleated for you are but in blindness in this your affirmation But I would have you to know wherein you are blinded if perhaps you might hereafter grope after the truth For though this your act be a command of Christ himself yet I would have you to know the minde of the Commander in the putting out of the command for he put not out this command thereby to detract from him what did belong to himself and in this you affirm you detract from him and give that to the acting in the command and herein you transgress But to tell you the minde of Christ in this command I would have you to take notice of his own words and let them not be wrested by your wit and you shall know that he gave out this command for no other thing but for a help of the weak memory of men who are very subject to forget the love of their dearest friends in a little time after they be departed from them yea your own experience will tell you the truth of this that after the death and departure of your dearest friends how that a very short time will wear the thoughts of them out of your memory And so some dear loving friend at his death will leave a Ring or some other token of love to his beloved friend or friends and bid him remember him when he looketh upon the same the which beholding doth raise or renew fresh thoughts of his deceased friend and so becometh the weak forgetful memory to be strengthned Even for this very end did Christ leave his Disciples that command that in the observing of the same they should keep him their dear loving Master still in their memory and think of him when his bodily presence was taken from them and that they in the remembring of him should think of his example of life and walk accordingly in all his other commands the which he had enjoyned them and in the keeping of these his commands they should be known to be his Disciples and should live in him and he in them and that they should have communion with him and the Father and likewise he tells them how the world would hate and persecute them and kill them with many other exhortations to them and commands given them before his departure after he had left them this love-token of remembrance as you may see in Luke 22.19 For Jesus knew after he was gone from them that they should have many temptations and tryals whereby they should be much troubled and therefore he would have them to keep him still in memory for if such things were done to the green Tree what would be done to the dry Trees Luke 23.31 But yet I know you may object and say that there is something more included in this command because of the act and the other words spoken by Christ when he gave out this command It is true for as in the time of the Law there was in their sacrifices things killed and offered which was Types of the first appearance of Christ in the Humane nature and the life of Christ in the Humane nature and the death of Christ in the Humane nature and the Resurrection of Christ c. So in this act of Christ there is a Type also in which there is something typified In which Type there is these things to be observed First The time Secondly The matter Thirdly The manner And fourthly The end First for the time It was at the very same time of the Jews Passoever which was to be kept in their generation until the death of Christ which Passoever was instituted before the death of the first-born in Egypt and this was the preservation of the children of Israel from that death so that where the blood of the Pascal Lamb was on the posts of the door there the destroyer had no power and by the slaying of the first-born in Egypt Pharaoh and his people was constrained to let
