fulfilling of this is not to be until the personal and second comming of Christ the three precedent verses do shew And in Ps 67. 7. God shall bless us i. e. Jews and all the ends of the earth shall fear him consonant to this is Esa 2. 2 3. Zac. 8. 23. before cited Likewise Zac. 14. informs us of the coming of the day of the Lord ver 1. of Christ's personal coming ver 3 4. of his being King over all the earth in that day ver 9. of the subjection of all Nations to Christ and their worshipping of him being then King at Jerusalem ver 16 17. even as it was foretold by the Ange to Mary Luk. 1. 32 33. That he should be great and that the Lord God would give him the throne of his Father David and that he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever hereunto contribute Luk. 19. 11 13. and Luk. 21. 23 to 33. where when Christ had set forth his personal coming and his redeeming of the Jews out of captivity he then after all this tells them That when they see these things come to pass then they should know that the Kingdome of God will be nigh at hand Note but nigh then therefore not in being at his Ascention nor at any time since And as to his conjecture that the Christian Church in this world is the Kingdome of Christ and his only Kingdome upon earth as some imagine These conceipts are already answered and refuted in the 24 25 26 27 30 and 31. pages of the foregoing discourse And as to the phrases in Scripture which some stumble at such as these The Kingdome is neer you or in you this is to be rendred among you as the margent in King James his Bible shews and the taking the Kingdom from one people and giving it to another and the like These are to be understood of the Gospel of the Kingdom being a special means of obtaining the Kingdome and that to be neer them or preacht among them whereby they might come to inherit the Kingdome for the word Gospel or good news of the Kingdome cannot be the Kingdome it self and by the phrase of taking the Kingdom from any is only meant the taking from them the Gospel or means of their attaining the Kingdom which in effect is the taking the Kingdome it self from them It is evident therefore though Christ was a King at and ever since his Ascention yet his Kingdom is not yet nor will be until the sound of the Seventh Trumpet When the Kingdoms of this world will become the Kingdoms of our Lord and his Christ thenceforth for ever Rev. 11. 15. Then and not till then shall the Heathen and the uttermost parts of the earth be taken into his possession although his right thereunto and Lordship thereof was given him of the Father long before Psa 2. 8. The result of all which is this That as he was a King before his Kingdome was set up so might he be made Head and Saviour before his Body or Church was constituted and so may he remain whilst the Church is extinct driven or withdrawn from off the face of the earth as it must needs be when all that dwell upon the earth shall worship the Beast Rev. 13. 8. and when the way of God is not known upon earth Psal 67. 2. For although the relation between a natural head and its body be such as neither can subsist without the other yet it is not so between Christ and his Body the Church being spiritual as by and by I shall make appear And therefore to that part of the objection No body no head I shall here offer him this short Dilemma Christ being made Head of his Church at his Ascention either had a Christian Church then upon earth or he had none if none then was he a head without a body a husband without a wife and if he had one then there was one before that time for there were very many and as many baptized Disciples and beleevers before his death as there were at or after his Ascention until the powring down of the gifts of the Spirit and the conversion of three thousand mentioned in Act. 2. How else could he have been seen of more then five hundred Brethren at once and of many other of his Disciples with whom he conversed at least forty days after his Resurrection and before he Ascended 1 Cor. I would fain know of R. B. If he and his fellow-Members of his Catholick Church are any fitter or truer matter or in a better capacicy for Membership in Christs Body and Church now then these Apostles Disciples and Brethren were in before Christ Ascended these had true faith and baptism hath he and his fellow-members more or truer I think not but that it will be found upon due examination to come many degrees and in many respects short of the others How then can they be a true Church and the other none 15. 5 6 c. Act. 1. 3. And if any of these were a Christian Church before his death or before his ascension then there was a body and wife before he was made a head or husband Or else thus either these were a Christian Church before Christ ascended or they were not If he say they were then there was a body without a head if he say they were not then there was no Christian Church upon the earth for certain dayes after he Ascended and until the gift of the Holy Ghost were powred down upon the Disciples mentioned in Act. 2. And then for that distance of time between his Ascention and his powâ—ing down of these gifts there was a head but no body Let him now chuse which of these he please since either of them invalidates his objection And indeed the very truth is That these were nobody or Church of Christ until they had these gifts of the Spirit poured down upon them mentioned Act. 2. presently after which but not before they were denominated a Church being then formed into several Spiritual memberships for the several Offices and services of the whole body like as the several members of a Natural Body are serviceable to the body Now if these gifts of the Spirit formed Members and knit them together and also to their head from whom they received nourishment growth and increase of the whole body as is most evident they then neither were nor could be any body or Church of Christ until the powring down of the gifts of the spirit upon the Disciples at Pentecost ten dayes after Christs ascention when it is granted by the Objector he was invested into Headship and I suppose it must also be granted that this Head-ship was conferred upon him before that time even at his Resurrection for how else could he presently after and before his Ascention have told his Disciples That all power was given unto him both in Heaven and in Earth Mat. 28. 18. But all power had not
Prerogative over any other man or men whatsoever For as the Divine Evidences were formerly so are they yet for the very same ends and purposes still useful and necessary to accompany the Ministry and so will they alway accompany the true Ministry for the conversion of men to the Faith of the Gospel But for R. B. thus to extend my words besides or beyond my meaning or to confine them short thereof is not to be allowed by me nor can it reasonably be approved by any man for whereas my meaning is limited onely to the conversion of unbelievers he extends them to any whether converted or unconverted as if I had been so irrational as to say or think That no man after his Conversion to the Faith of the Gospel was bound to believe or practise any other or further Duty of Christianity without some new Miracle yea new Miracles done in his sight to prove it for so much in effect his Charge amounts unto And who would ever think R. B. to be so void of understanding or ingenuity rather as to lay such and so irrational an aspersion upon any man that never did or thought him harm Now let any man in love convince me of my Errour in this my Position and I shall take it kindly and be as ready to retract and tread it under foot as he would have me but of all men in the world R. B. is least able to do it or to accuse me for it having asserted as much or more himself for in his Saints Rest Part 2. pag. 201. of the sixth Edition he asserts That Divine Faith hath ever a Divine Testimony and in pag. 205. That we must know it to be a Divine Testimony before we can believe fide Divina by a Divine Faith and I hope by a Divine Faith he intends no other then a true and saving Faith which must necessarily have a divine and infallible ground to be built on seeing of other Faiths he plainly tells us in pag. 201. That to believe implicitely that the Testimony is Divine or the Scripture is the Word of God this is not to believe God but to resolve our Faith into some humane Testimony even to lay our Foundation upon the Sands where all will fall at the next Assault And in pag. 236. he expresseth himself thus viz. I demand with my self by what argument did Moses and Christ evince to the world the verity of their Doctrine and I finde it was chiefly by this of Miracles and surely Christ knew the best argument to prove the Divine Authority of his Doctrine and that which was the best then is the best still And in pag. 33. of his book of Infidelity part 1. he tells us That Tongues are not for them that believe but for them that believe not that is saith he to shew them the power of Christ and so convince them And in part 4. pag. 46. of the same Book he tells us If it had no divine attestation or evidence that it is of God then you might (a) And I hope no man is bound by God to believe that which he may without sin or danger reject reject it without sin or danger Now let any rational and impartial man judge if R. B. himself hath not asserted sufficient and more then enough to justifie my Position and all that which I hold in the point yea and that which is tantamount the same although in many places of his writings he contradicts it which is no rare thing to see in men of his undertakings though they both speak and write much less then he hath done And amongst the multitudes of his failings in that and the like kinde in his voluminous writings thou mayst finde him friendly remembred of some few in a small Treatise entituled Fides Divina which when thou hast read then tell me If a Bear may not be known by a small Member even by his foot alone And whereas R. B. at the end of that his Charge intayles this viz. Adding withall That indeed Antichrist may do Miracles What cause of exception can be taken at Answ this my so saying when the Scripture it self affirms That the second Beast which came up out of the earth who is an Antichrist at least wrought Miracles Rev. 13. 11 14. Rev. 19. 20. This R. B. in his Saints Rest pag. 206. flatly contradicts by telling us there That no created power can work a Miracle Let him be pleased hence to be asked these sober Questions 1. Do you indeed and in truth as you pretend believe the Scripture to be the VVord of God 2. And that it was confirmed by Miracles as you assert it to be about the midst of your Preface to your Book of Infidelity and in divers other places of the same Book 3. How then dare you so presumptuously put the lye upon God by your flat contradicting his Word as here you have done This Charge lies upon him unavoydably unless he can prove that Beast to be an uncreated power which he can never do But we may see here as in many other places how he plays Bo-peep with us in rendring such persons abominable who do not with all readiness and without any chewing swallow all that which he pleaseth out of his own fancy to say of the Scriptures indefinitely being the VVord of God and that they (b) Which indeed is the harder for any man to belive because that some stuck not to raze and blot out of them senâ—ences above 1200 years since as Socrates reports lib. 7. ca. 31. And what hath been the boldness of others in that or the like kinde to do to them before and since is not known nor can be imaginâ—d were confirmed by Miracles when indeed and in truth he believes neither the one nor the other himself for if he did how durst he be so bold as flatly to contradict them as here he hath done And upon my saying that Antichrist may do Miracles R. B. infers thus viz. So it seems for all the talk Miracles themselves would not serve if they saw them Answ By this your inference you imply as if the signes and Miracles wrought by God himself for the Confirmation of the Gospel were no way dscernable by men from such as were or may be wrought by the Devil and his Instruments Is not this a casting a high disparagement upon the wisdom power and justice of Almighty God in his requiring faith and obedience to the Gospel upon pain of Damnation and yet produce no other nor better evidence for the Confirmation of the truth thereof then Satan or his Ministers can do for the Confirmation of falshood Doth not this amount to high Blasphemy against God himself For did not the Signes and Miracles wrought by Moses in Egypt so far transcend all those that were or could be wrought by the Egyptian Sorcerers or by the Devil himself as they were apparently discernable by all that saw them from those wrought by the
1. 3 4 5 6 7. Mat. 5. 12. They having here a race set before them to run with patience and hold out to the end of their lives before they can get the prize And a warfare wherein they must fight hold out to the end and conquer before they can obtain the Crown in the day and Kingdom of Christ 1 Cor. 9. 24 25 26 27. Heb. 12. 1. Jam. 1. 12. 2 Tim. 4. 7 8. Yea and hold out unto death and overcome before they can receive the Crown of life and sit with Christ in his Throne and Kingdom Rev. 2. 10 26. Rev. 3. 21. Come ye blessed of the Father and inherite the Kingdom prepared for you Mat. 25. 34. This will not be said and performed by Christ to the righteous until after his coming in glory verse 31. All which places with many more that might be cited if need were do evidently shew That the Church in this world is not the Kingdom of Christ intended and meant in Luk. 1. 33. Isa 9. 6 7. nor in Psal 145. 13. as R. B. very inconsiderately expounds it to be for the Children of God must through much tribulation enter into that Kingdom Act. 14. 22. Through it note that and be past all for they shall have none at all after they once enter into that Kingdom I hope by this time I have quit my self of being an Infidel intimated by R. B. pag. the seventh which I conceive cannot justly be charged upon any man though he should but believe an Almighty God Maker of heaven and earth and that he is a Rewarder of them that seek him being no Respecter of persons but in every Nation he that feareth him and worketh righteousness is accepted of him But as for his term Heathen I know not well his meaning but it may be feared That the righteousness of many who are by us called Heathens will finde acceptance with God when neither the faith nor righteousness of most called Christians will finde any A Gentile I confess my self to be so also must he unless he be a very Jew Thou seest Reader that R. B. his whole drift in this his second Sheet is to prove himself and the Ministers of the Reformed Churches to be the true Ministers of Jesus Christ which he endeavours to do by laying this ground viz. Christ saith he must alway have a true Church upon Earth even to the end of the world Whence he infers a necessity of a true Ministry there also because saith he pag. 8. The Church never did nor can subsist without its Officers who are an essential part of it as it is a politick body and the most eminent part as it is a Community Then he endeavours to prove the Ministers of the reformed Churches to be those Ministers or Officers by an argument pag. 11. thus framed Either those Pastors of the reformed Churches are the true Ministers of Christ or else there are none such visible in the world but there are such visibly and certainly in the world else there is no Church So then thou maist see That the whole stress of his Arguments to prove the Ministers of the reformed Churches to be the true Ministers of Christ hangs meerly upon this single pin namely That Christ must have a true Christian Church upon the earth alway even to the end of the world and his chiefest proof for that is First Mat. 28. 20. from Christs promise to be with his eleven Apostles alway even to the end of the world This promise R. B. saith is absolute that Christ will be with the eleven Apostles and their successors alway c. and therefore a true Church must be alway upon earth even to the end of the world Secondly from Luke 1. 33. and other Texts of like import where it 's said That Christ must raigne over the house of Jacob for ever and of that his Kingdom there shall be no end This house of Jacob and Kingdom of Christ R. B. expounds to be the Christian Church upon Earth in this world and thence concludes no end of the being of a true Church or Ministry upon earth Both which Expositions of his I have denyed and thou hast seen my Proofs and Refutations And mayst yet further see how these two Scriptures do interfere and cross one another and that in the main and chief point for which they are produced by R. B. to accord in viz to prove the time of the continuance of the Christian Church upon earth For if it be granted that both these Texts do mean the Christian Church in this world as they do not yet the one refers the continuance thereof but to the end of the world and the other refers it to no end at all but to be everlasting and for ever even as the Kingdom of Christ must be from the time of its first establishment Rev. 11. 15. Dan. 7. 14 18 27. Micha 4. 7. compared with Luk. 1. 33. Isai 9. 6 7. Psalm 145. 13. These last three being the Scriptures cited by R. B. to prove and uphold the kingly priesthood and raigne of the Ministers of the reformed Churches in Christs stead in his Kingdom over the house of Jacob everlastingly And this must be the fulfilling of the prophesies of Christs inheriting of the Throne of his Father David and of his restoring the Kingdom to Israel and to be the Kingdom wherein he will drink wine new with his Disciples and also the Kingdom wherein the Mother of Zebedees children desired of Christ that her two Sons might sit the one on his right hand and the other on his left Mat. 20. 20. Unto whom Christ answered That to sit on his right hand and on his left was not his to give but to them for whom it is prepared of his Father Whereby it is evident that such places are prepared of God for some to fit both on the right and left hand of Christ in the Kingdom Whence will clearly follow That Christ will be personally present in his Kingdom and therein sit with some on his right hand and some on his left But Christ is no where personally present so to sit in the reformed Churches nor in any of them nor in any other Church upon Earth no not in the Church of Rome nor yet in R. B. his Catholick or Universal Church Therefore the Refomed Churches nor any of them nor any other Church upon Earth no not the Church of Rome nor yet R. B. his Catholick or Universal Church is the Kingdom of Christ Moreover and besides all which Let it be considered how that the Promise in Mat. 28. 20. was not to the Church nor to any inferior Officer thereof for neither any such Officer to officiate in a Church nor any such Church wherein to officiate was then constituted but the promise was made meerly to the Eleven Apostles themselves who afterwards were both to plant Churches and appoint inferior Officers therein and therefore whatsoever the promise was it was specially
Jerusalem and he shall judge among the Nations and shall rebuke many people and they shall beat their swords into plow-shares and their spears into pruning hooks Nation shall not lift up sword against Nation neither shall they learn war any more Esa 2. 2 3. Mic. 4. 2 3. add to this Zech. 8. 23. And this great and general Apostacy is likewise plainly foretold in many other places of Scripture As that all the world shall wonder after the beast and worshipped the Dragon which gave power to the Beast and they worshipped the Beast and all that dwell on the earth shall worship him Revel 13. To which add that of St. Paul 2 Thes 2. 3. where he willeth the Thessalonians To let no man deceive them for that day shall not come except there came a falling away first and telleth Timothy 2 Tim. 4. 3 4. That the time will come when they will not indure sound Doctrine but after their own lusts shall heap to themselves teachers having itching ears and they shall turn away their ears from the truth and be turned to Fables Where it is to be noted That he doth not say some of them or some of you as he did when he warned the Elders of Ephesus of the beginning of this Apostacy Act. 20. but they indefinitely will not indure sound Doctrine and they indefinitely shall turn away their ears from the truth and be turned to fables And the same Apostle foretels the restitution of the truth with life and power again for writing of the rejection and restoration of the Jews Rom. 11. 15. he thus expresseth himself If the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world what shall their receiving be but life from the dead namely to the world which shall then be in darkness and in effect dead being destitute of the powerful and lively ordinances of the Gospel of Christ from which darkness and death the world shall then be delivered inlightned and revived Hence we may see that it was not for nought that our quondam Bishops continued among us the use of that common necessary prayer which begins thus Lighten our darkness we beseech thee O Lord c. And it were wel if the same were still continued that our present Rulers both civil ecclesiastical would themselves also joyn with us in the use thereof even as all our great need requireth I thought here to have raised an objection against the premises but I find one already made to my hands and that by this our Author himself in a sheet of his lately put out against the Quakers where with much confidence he thus objects viz. Object The Quakers are but of late years standing they rose from among the Papists Seekers Ranters and Anabaptists but a while agoe and if Christ had no Catholick Church before then and ever since his Ascension he ceased to be Christ in Office the head and Saviour of the Church for no Church no Saviour no body no head no School no teacher no Kingdome no King no wife no husband Answ There being a Triumphant Church in Heaven as they teach this may supply Christ with a Kingdome a Body a wife and Church to whom he may be King head husbâ—nd and Saviour when there may be no true Church amongst us mortals upon the face of the earth For the making good whereof they teach us That the Souls of the righteous ascend immediately into Heaven to God there to partake of present bliss and glory and that the Soul of the penitent thief went immediately into Paradise whither no doubt the Souls of many penitent theeves have gone since as sure as that theeves Soul went thither but now the greatest theeves crucifie hang rob and plunder men and are neither crucified nor hanged yet doe thinke upon that account to lodge their Souls there also when they die though they neither repent nor make restitution so much as Judas did wherein they will I fear at last finde themselves miserably cozened These Doctrines being both true and doubted by none but Hereticks then Christ hath a double supply of a Kingdome wife body and Church the one in the highest Heaven and the other in Paradise but and if these Doctrines should both fail of making good the proposition of a Triumphant Church in Heaven as it is feared by many they will in that they doe propose two different receptacles for the Souls of the righteous I shall mind them of one more better then both these namely The bodies of many of the Saints which slept arose and came out of their graves after Christ's resurrection went into the Holy City and appeared unto many These I conceive would much better make a Triumphant Church in Heaven then either or both of the other whereby Christ may be supplyed with a Kingdome body wife and Church and all the supposed absurdities in the objection prevented though Christ neither now hath nor never is like to have until the calling of the Jews any true Church upon the face of the earth And as to his parallels of School and Teacher King and Kingdome I say a head-School-master being lawfully established such in any place may afterward be so interrupted by reason either of war or some contagious sickness there raging as he may not have one Scholar left for him to teach doth this School-master therefore lose his right or so much as his title of being head-School-master especially he readily attending to perform that his office when ever his Scholars shall return again to be taught by him I think not And as to Christ's Kingdome I say if Christ at his Ascension was a King as is granted by the objection and then had no Kingdome he may also as well then be a head a husband and a Saviour without either body wife or Church upon earth but Christ was then a King yet had no Kingdome on earth because his Kingdome was then and is yet to come as may be thus proved Christ taught his Disciples to pray That his Kingdome might come a consequence whereof would be that Gods will would then be done in earth as it is in Heaven This prayer was by the Apostles left to following Christians and hath been ever since and yet is used in the world and the will of God not being yet done in earth as it is in Heaven shews plainly that Christ's Kingdome was not then nor is yet come The general conformity to the will of God both of Jewes and Gentiles and their subjection to Christ in the time of his Kingdome and reign is in many places of Scripture foretold as Psa 110. Thy people shall be willing in the day of thy power consonant to this Moses prophesied which is by Peter repeated Act. 3. 22. thus For Moses truly said unto the Fathers A Prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren like unto me him shall you hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you And that the
then been given to him if the Headship or Lordship over his Church had been omitted or suspended until his Ascention This Jesus God raised up and made him both Lord and Christ Act. 2. 35 36. And he was the first born from the dead of every creature that in all things he might have the pre-eminence Col. 1. 15 18. For nothing was left that should not be made subject unto him but neither then nor since are all things actually made subject unto him although he then was actually crowned with the Glory and Honour of Lordship over all things Heb. 2. 5 6 8 9. which hereafter are to be actually put in subjection unto him as these Scriptures witness Psal 110. 1. Act. 2. 34 35 36. 1 Cor. 15. 24 25 26 27 28 Phil. 2. 8 9 10 11 Heb. 1. 6 13. and 10. 12 13. All which shews the imbecility of the objection being composed meerly of non-sequiturs unto which the Apostle plainly alludes and compares the Church 1 Cor. 12. where he also tells them That they having these spiritual gifts were thereby all of them baptized into that one body of Christ by that one Spirit before which they were not of that body nor sutable matter for Membership in that spiritual body of Christ their Spiritual Head and husband Even as the Apostle writing to a true Church Rom. 8. tells them That if any of them had not the Spirit of Christ the same was none of his i. e. none of his body or Church which is as a building fitly framed together groweth to an holy temple in the Lord in whom they were builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit Eph. 2. 21 22. Rom. 12. 4 5. as we have many Members in the body and all the members have not the same office so we being many are one body in Christ and every one members one of another holding the head from which all the body by these gifts of the Spirit as by joynts and bands having nourishment ministred and knit together increaseth with the increase of God Col. 2. 19. Wherefore this learned Objector may as well and as soon truly define a Natural body without members or joynts and sinews to knit them together as to define a true Christian Church or body of Christ without these gifts of the Spirit For see we not how the most learned on all sides flounder and fall before each other in their definitions of a true Church and each different party challenging their definition to be truest and the true Church to be amongst them each crying Loe here and loe there as if the Church of Christ when and where it is will not be perspicuously and distinctly discovered as a light set upon a hill to all beholders even by her own eminency and by that divine light and power which alwayes did and will accompany her without the help of blind guides with their dark-lanthorns of humane Arts and Sciences to discover and find her out This consideration alone is sufficient to evidence That the true Church is withdrawn from the earth or at least so far removed that we know not where to find it I shall instance in the definition made by one of the best reformed Churches even the Church of England as it was most advisedly framed by the wisest and ablest of them and then publickly held forth in the Articles of the Church which they stoutly defended against the world insomuch as whosoever would not conform thereto was obnoxious to censure and being a Minister was liable to be reprobated and cast out as refuse and unsavory salt In the ninteenth Article it is thus defined viz. The visible Church of Christ is a Congregation of faithful men in the which the pure word of God is preached and the Sacraments be duly administred according to Christs Ordinance Now let a Heathen be told that by these marks he may know the true Church may he not then demand how he shall know the pure word of God when it is preached c. must he not then be told that he must know that by the true Church and then again may he not ask How he may know the true Church and must he not then again be answered That he must know the true Church by their preaching the pure word of God c. And thus may he run the round again and again to the worlds end and be never the neerer knowing the true Church until he return again into his own countrey and there or elsewhere learn undoubtedly to know what the pure word of God is when it is preached and what the due administration of the Sacraments is according to Christ's ordinance and as soon as he hath learned undoubtedly to know all these he may then return hither again if he please and find out the true Church of Christ amongst us as soon as he can But how unlike are these marks unto those which Christ himself gave to know his true Church by Mar. 16. 17 18. These signs shall follow them In my name they shall cast out Devils they shall speak with new tongues they shall take up serpents and if they drink any deadly thing it shall not hurt them they shall lay hands on the sick and they shall recover Unto this also accords St. Pauls description of a true Cburch 1 Cor. 12. 28. God hath set some in the Church first Apostles secondly Prophets thirdly teachers after them miracles then gifts of healing helps governments divers kinds of tongues And accordingly Ancient Christians judged these gifts of the Spirit to be absolutely necessary to the being of a true Church for Eusebius informs us That one Miliades disputing with certain Hereticks proves them no true Church or right Christians by the discontinuance of the gifts of the Spirit amongst them thus If that as they say after Quadratus and Ammias the Philadelphian those women of Montanus succeeded in the gift of Prophesie Let them shew who afterward succeeded Montanus and his women for the Apostle thinketh good that the gifts of Prophesie should reign in every Church even unto the end but now for the space of these fourteen yeers since Miximilla dyed they are able to shew us not one Euseb lib. 5. chap. 15. And so modern Authors likewise doe judge these gifts necessary to the being of a true Church for in a Book intituled The Doctrine of Baptisms set out 1652. by a nameless author supposed to be Mr. Dell in pag. 22. it 's asserted That as Spirit-Baptisme makes us one with Christ the head so with the Church the Body 1 Cor. 12. 13. for by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body c. And a little after he saith There are no more of that Church which is the body of Christ-then they that are baptised with that one Spirit The truth of all which our Objector himself so far acknowledgeth as in his Preface to the second Part of his Saints Rest to tell us That
