gospel_n and_o now_o i_o come_v to_o give_v answer_n to_o some_o of_o the_o chief_a ground_n bring_v for_o the_o prove_v of_o the_o foresay_a baptism_n in_o the_o hand_n of_o antichrist_n to_o be_v the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n and_o first_o it_o be_v say_v that_o as_o circumcision_n administer_v in_o israel_n great_a apostasy_n remain_v still_o the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n so_o that_o when_o any_o of_o they_o do_v repent_v and_o turn_v unto_o the_o lord_n they_o be_v receive_v without_o be_v circumcise_v again_o and_o the_o like_a be_v now_o to_o be_v consider_v of_o baptism_n in_o the_o apostasy_n of_o antichrist_n the_o answer_n be_v first_o it_o be_v like_a to_o be_v a_o bad_a cause_n that_o must_v be_v maintain_v from_o the_o corruption_n of_o other_o person_n or_o state_n be_v the_o order_n and_o government_n of_o christ_n new_a state_n and_o kingdom_n under_o the_o new_a testament_n more_o weak_a and_o imperfect_a then_o that_o under_o the_o old_a as_o we_o must_v go_v still_o unto_o circumcision_n for_o a_o rule_n how_o to_o make_v out_o our_o baptism_n be_v the_o light_n of_o the_o moon_n become_v now_o more_o bright_a than_o the_o light_n of_o the_o sun_n and_o the_o heart_n veil_v to_o see_v clear_a than_o the_o face_n open_a and_o the_o servant_n to_o teach_v the_o son_n again_o it_o be_v worth_a our_o consideration_n from_o what_o church_n antichrist_n do_v apostinate_a and_o go_v away_o from_o as_o the_o ten_o tribe_n do_v under_o jeroboam_n 1_o king_n 12._o but_o i_o pass_v this_o second_o i_o answer_v that_o circumcision_n be_v not_o confine_v in_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o priesthood_n then_o under_o the_o old_a testament_n as_o the_o administration_n of_o baptism_n be_v to_o the_o ministry_n of_o christ_n now_o under_o the_o new_a testament_n three_o circumcision_n be_v then_o by_o they_o administer_v according_a as_o god_n have_v command_v the_o same_o to_o be_v both_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o matter_n and_o manner_n 1._o the_o same_o order_n 2._o a_o right_a subject_n 3._o the_o due_a time_n 4._o the_o true_a place_n and_o last_o a_o lawful_a minister_n but_o now_o the_o baptism_n administer_v by_o antichrist_n be_v contrary_a in_o all_o the_o foresay_a respect_n which_o be_v by_o a_o false_a power_n upon_o a_o wrong_a subject_n by_o a_o false_a minister_n in_o a_o false_a body_n the_o like_a can_v be_v show_v in_o circumcision_n nor_o yet_o in_o baptism_n and_o god_n approve_v of_o the_o same_o to_o be_v his_o ordinance_n and_o now_o to_o oppose_v this_o zipporah_n the_o wife_n of_o moses_n be_v bring_v for_o a_o example_n to_o prove_v that_o the_o baptism_n administer_v by_o a_o false_a minister_n may_v be_v true_a baptism_n as_o circumcision_n be_v be_v administer_v by_o a_o woman_n exod._n 4.25_o the_o answer_n be_v first_o that_o moses_n wife_n be_v in_o the_o action_n the_o hand_n of_o her_o husband_n for_o the_o preserve_n of_o his_o life_n for_o have_v not_o zipporah_n circumcise_v her_o son_n it_o seem_v that_o god_n have_v slay_v her_o husband_n as_o for_o 24.25_o 26._o compare_v together_o second_o herein_o god_n set_v forth_o his_o wisdom_n and_o justice_n in_o the_o subject_n of_o his_o creature_n to_o bring_v she_o so_o far_o to_o submit_v unto_o his_o will_n in_o that_o ordinance_n as_o for_o to_o do_v the_o thing_n herself_o for_o who_o sake_n it_o be_v like_o the_o same_o be_v so_o long_o neglect_v because_o there_o be_v nothing_o so_o contrary_a and_o opposite_a unto_o her_o the_o circumcision_n three_o i_o see_v not_o but_o that_o in_o a_o case_n of_o necessity_n a_o woman_n may_v lawful_o circumcise_v she_o be_v no_o where_o prohibit_v and_o last_o what_o of_o all_o this_o say_v she_o do_v it_o unlawful_o and_o in_o so_o do_v she_o be_v a_o false_a minister_n all_o which_o be_v more_o than_o god_n say_v yet_o this_o be_v not_o do_v in_o a_o false_a church_n upon_o a_o wrong_a subject_n authorise_v by_o a_o false_a power_n as_o baptism_n administer_v by_o antichrist_n be_v and_o therefore_o at_o the_o worst_a it_o make_v nothing_o at_o all_o for_o that_o which_o it_o be_v pretend_v namely_o to_o prove_v baptism_n administer_v by_o antichrist_n the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n though_o the_o same_o be_v also_o administer_v by_o a_o false_a minister_n again_o it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o scripture_n be_v the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n which_o he_o have_v ever_o preserve_v and_o still_o own_v for_o his_o ordinance_n in_o hand_n of_o antichrist_n and_o so_o do_v god_n of_o baptism_n there_o also_o to_o which_o i_o answer_v and_o say_v that_o god_n indeed_o do_v preserve_v the_o scripture_n wherein_o be_v contain_v all_o go●●_n holy_a ordinance_n as_o they_o be_v therein_o comprehend_v and_o lay_v forth_o in_o their_o institute_v rule_n and_o that_o in_o the_o hand_n of_o wicked_a man_n and_o so_o in_o the_o hand_n of_o antichrist_n himself_o but_o never_o in_o their_o constitute_v order_n and_o form_n out_o of_o the_o hand_n of_o christ_n his_o church_n and_o ministry_n and_o though_o that_o in_o many_o thing_n antichrist_n have_v corrupt_v the_o scripture_n yet_o they_o remain_v still_o in_o themselves_o the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n but_o for_o the_o false_a exposition_n gloss_n and_o doctrine_n they_o gather_v from_o the_o scripture_n with_o the_o church_n ministry_n worship_n and_o government_n they_o build_v upon_o the_o scripture_n and_o so_o their_o ordinance_n which_o they_o seem_v to_o constitute_v by_o they_o now_o these_o i_o can_v see_v to_o be_v the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n any_o more_o the_o one_o than_o the_o other_o so_o that_o if_o baptism_n with_o antichrist_n as_o they_o say_v be_v god_n ordinance_n then_o why_o not_o upon_o the_o same_o ground_n the_o supper_n church_n and_o ministry_n be_v god_n ordinance_n also_o see_v they_o have_v the_o scripture_n as_o well_o for_o the_o one_o as_o for_o the_o other_o and_o for_o baptism_n as_o it_o be_v a_o institution_n of_o christ_n and_o contain_v in_o the_o scripture_n as_o a_o rule_n for_o the_o lord_n people_n to_o walk_v by_o in_o their_o obedience_n to_o he_o only_o so_o consider_v it_o be_v a_o ordinance_n of_o god_n in_o who_o hand_n soever_o the_o scripture_n be_v but_o now_o for_o a_o false_a antichristian_a church_n to_o constitute_v and_o administer_v the_o like_a out_o of_o or_o apart_o from_o the_o scripture_n now_o so_o consider_v it_o be_v not_o the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n but_o man_n invention_n compose_v from_o the_o scripture_n as_o a_o pattern_n draw_v forth_o in_o the_o likeness_n or_o resemblance_n of_o god_n ordinance_n but_o not_o the_o same_o for_o god_n have_v communion_n with_o none_o in_o his_o word_n but_o by_o his_o spirit_n and_o faith_n neither_o of_o which_o have_v antichrist_n and_o therefore_o though_o he_o have_v the_o write_a letter_n of_o the_o scripture_n yet_o no_o communion_n with_o god_n in_o the_o same_o so_o as_o to_o receive_v his_o ordinance_n of_o he_o neither_o can_v any_o man_n constitute_v and_o so_o administer_v a_o ordinance_n of_o god_n without_o authority_n from_o christ_n the_o lord_n and_o king_n of_o his_o church_n which_o authority_n antichrist_n have_v not_o and_o therefore_o god_n ordinance_n of_o baptism_n can_v be_v administer_v by_o antichrist_n in_o his_o false_a anchristian_a church_n and_o state_n as_o some_o do_v so_o affirm_v but_o it_o be_v say_v that_o there_o be_v but_o only_o one_o baptism_n and_o have_v once_o receive_v that_o though_o it_o be_v by_o antichrist_n we_o need_v not_o to_o receive_v it_o any_o more_o for_o we_o can_v have_v but_o the_o same_o again_o and_o that_o which_o we_o have_v be_v the_o same_o for_o substance_n with_o christ_n institution_n which_o for_o the_o matter_n there_o be_v water_n and_o for_o the_o form_n there_o be_v the_o same_o word_n use_v as_o christ_n institute_v the_o same_o ordinance_n of_o baptism_n in_o the_o answer_n be_v first_o that_o there_o be_v but_o one_o true_a baptism_n that_o be_v a_o truth_n and_o a_o man_n be_v once_o baptize_v by_o the_o same_o he_o need_v not_o to_o be_v baptize_v again_o this_o be_v also_o true_a for_o i_o do_v not_o approve_v of_o rebaptise_v but_o now_o to_o conclude_v from_o hence_o that_o there_o can_v be_v a_o resemblance_n of_o that_o one_o true_a baptism_n and_o yet_o not_o the_o same_o this_o will_v not_o follow_v there_o be_v but_o one_o true_a church_n and_o ministry_n of_o christ_n as_o the_o word_n of_o god_n reveal_v but_o it_o will_v not_o follow_v therefore_o that_o antichrist_n can_v resemble_v the_o same_o and_o set_v up_o one_o of_o his_o own_o like_a unto_o that_o or_o if_o that_o he_o do_v the_o same_o must_v be_v a_o true_a church_n and_o ministry_n because_o god_n approve_v but_o of_o one_o but_o if_o antichrist_n as_o you_o affirm_v may_v resemble_v the_o truth_n and_o set_v
