will follow when the Lord comes to lay open their Nakedness and clear our Innocency in these things as he hath done for me which Work hasteth greatly Praises Eternal be to him alone who hath let me see by the Light werewith Christ hat enlightned me Who is the true Light which enlightneth every one that cometh into the World John 1.9 As the Lord by the Prophet Jeremiah saith Jer. 7.22 23. I spake not unto your Fashers nor commanded them in the Day that I brought them our of the Land of Egypt concerning Burnt Offerings and Sacrifices but this one thing commanded I them saying Obey my Voice and I will be your God and ye shall be my People c. And when Jesus Chrift was upon Earth and spoke unto his Disciples and told them what they must do to come after him he did not tell them That they must Sing David's Condition either themselves or others or Baptize little Children or Infants with Water or take a Text or place of Scripture of another's Condition and add to it their own Inventions But these things said he unto them Whosoever will come after me must deny himself and take up his Cross daily and follow me Luke 9.23 And in obedience to his Commands we deny our selves and take up the Cross daily that accompanies the same whereby we are by him Baptized into that one Body whereof he is Head and we being many do eat of one Bread and drink of one Cup not Carnal but Spiritual where true Communion and Fellowship lies hid from the World wherein we are altogether of one Spirit and of one Mind even of the same Mind that was in Christ Jesus according to the Apostle's Exhortation Phil. 2.5.1 Pet. 4.1 And rejoycing in the same Spirit Praises to our God for ever And we Sing with the Spirit and with the Understanding also I Cor. 14.15 And with the same we Pray But it is not so with the World's Teachers who have their Form or those who are accounted the best of them that fetch in of the Saints Words but dare not however cannot truly say That they are given them by the Spirit of God and their Singing is the like not from the Spirit of God but taking David's words by which he declared the several Conditions that he was was in and these they put into the Peoples Mounths which they do not understand and these they Sing without understanding and so instead of glorifying of God they dishouour him and this is one of the Practices used in their Church as they call it which is without in the World but the true Church is in God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ as in 1 Thess 1.1 Now these words that they Sing are true as they were spoken from David who said That he watered his Couch with his Tears but it is not so with many And the will Sing his words who could truly say That he was not puft up in Mind and had no scornsul Eye whenas too many are puft up in Mind and have scornful Eyes and the like Thus the Leaders of the People their Priests in most places put such words into the Peoples Mounths causing them to Err and make them Hypocrites in saying They are as it is not with them and so by and in them is fulfilled that Scripture Isa 9.16 17. But if any shall say Doth not the Apostle Jomes 5.13 Exhort Is any Merry Let him sing Psalms Yea and so it is with the redeemed Ones of the Lord his Ransomed witness that Prophecy fulifilled Isa 35.10 and such come to find in themselves according to the Apostle's Exhortation being filled with the Spirit Eph. 5.18 19 20. speaking unto themselves in Psalms and Hymns and Spiritual Songs Singing and making Melody in their Hearts unto the Lord giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ This is to be with the Heart it is not so with the World I know it when they are Offering up their Scarifices both of Prayers and Praises they with their Mouths and Lips may be pretending to Serve God whenas their Hearts may be in another place far from Him according to Scripture Isa 29.13 And after they have been Blessing God and Singing to his Praise as they pretend How often in the same Mouth is Cursing Which thing ought not to be James 3.9 10. Thus the Leaders of the People by putting the Name of God in the Mouths of People who are not in his Fear they speak it without understanding and so take it in Vain whom the Lord will not hold guiltess And as they have no Scripture for this their Practice to Sing David's Condition neither have they and for Sprinkling or Baptizing as they all it little Children Infants with Water nor any Command from Christ in Scripture to do that to any for those who are got up in Imitation of the Letter from John's Baptizing in Jordan those that confessed their Sins Mat. 3.6 or of his Baptism yet he said There was one to come after him which was preferred before him John 1.15 30. which was to Baptize with the Holy Ghost and with Fire Mat. 3.11 And that he must Decrease but Christ must Increase John 3.30 This of Christ's being the true Baptism that was to encrease The Apostle speaks but of One Baptism in Eph. 4.5 and by One Spirit not by any Outward Sprinkling or Dipping into Water that the Saints were Baptized into One Body 1 Cor. 12.13 This Outward with Water is not the Baptism that is to Save us whereof that of Noah's being saved in the Ark was a Figure but the answer of a good Conscience towards God by the Resurrection of Jesus Christ according to 1 Pet. 3.20 21. Many may come to the outward Baptism to have the filth of the Flesh put off but want the answer of a good Conscience towards God by the Resurrection of Jesus Christ This I having a sight of was through the Love of God towards me a means to keep me back from going into those other Forms in the World that differed from the publick Profession that was in this Nation I being let see that I might get into them and no change in my Life wrought And these Cries were often in mine Ears Born again a new Creature which Condition is now witnessed Praises to our God for ever by those who come to witness that Baptism of the Spirit spoken of in Scripture whereby they come to be Buried with him by Baptism into Death Rom 6.3 4. And to be made partakers of his Sufferings wherein is Rejoycing 1 Pet. 4.13 But this is not known by Water-Baptism but by the Obeying of the Spirit of our God And as the World's Baptism is without with Water so is their Communion without in Bread and Wine which they call a Sacrament For which as now used by them they have no Command from Christ nor any such Name given in Scripture
