the Heavens and governest the Earth thou art now met with thy servants the Apostles and it is now that thou hast issued our a Warrant for them to execute The contents of Christ his Warrant is my Text and my Text is this Go ye therefore and teach all Nations baptizing them in the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost In which words take notice of two parts the Apostles Mission and Commission The Mission Go ye therefore The Commission And teach all Nations In the Mission we have two in full view Here is 1. Persona mittens inclusivè 2. Personae missae expressivè The Person sending is Christ Iesus implied though not exprest The Persons sent are ye In this ye The Ite are considerable The Ergo are considerable The Ite involves the Journey The Ergo the cause of the Journey The Ite Go. The Ergo Therefore Go ye therefore Therefore wherefore Look ad Christum Lood ad Patentiam And first at Christ He bids go who dyed for us nay rather who is risen again sits at the right hand of God and maketh intercession for us Hath he done so much for us go ye therefore Again he hath all power a bar against dilatory delay he can make us go go ye therefore But I must onely do with these waters which run under the thresh-hold of the Temple as the Egyptian Dod doth as he goeth by the Banks of Nylus lap and run on The second part of my Text is the Apostles Letters Paents for 1. Preaching and 2. Baptizing Let us read their Commission at large 't is this Go teach all Nations baptizing them in the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost See here 1. What they are allowed to do 2. How they must do it What they are allowed to do it is this to Teach Baptize To teach not then to be taught by them who Christ hath sent them to teach we have such forward fellows in our Congregations who will not stick to teach as blinde Byard had they either learning or commission to do it I would be silent but the want of both avows it is high presumption The Commission to instruct and teach in publick you see is onely granted by Christ under his own hand to the Apostles and their undoubted successors the Ministers of the Gos pel who have leave and by commission and from Christ to Teach Baptized 1. You see the Act licensed is to teach 2. For extent it is all Nations The other part of our Office and we hold it from Christ and by Chatter form him it is to baptize For Quiddity it is to baptize Universality all Nations Why not Children then This and other Argumetns we shall use to confute the Herefie of the Anabaptists and all that rabble sent from Hell Next follows the Modus or how this sacred Sacrament must be administred In nomine Patri● Filii Spiritus sancti The Jews and Turks they circumcize Christians and none else they baptize The Jews believe not that the Messias is come and so deny the second Person The Turks deny both the second preson the third the holy Ghost Onely Christians believe a Trine Unity one God and three Persons and we baptize into this Faith Baptizing in the Name of the Father Son and Holy Ghost Nor run we without our Warrant this to teach a Trinity and thus to baptize In the Name of the three Persons since it is Christ himself who saith Ite praedicate Go and teach all Nations baptizing them in the Name of the Father the Son and the Holy Ghost I would not like a careless Porter keep you without doors till you have lost your stomachs Each several part of my Text is a several Service I will say to you as Abakkuk to the Prophet Take the meat your God hath provided for you And the first whole serive this day to be served up is missio Apostolorum the mission of the eleven intimated while said Go ye therefore The Persona mittens or he that sends is our Jesus so he sayes Go. This is the first dish of the first service but of this and divers others we must onely take a taste and keep our stomachs for a Christening Dinner I mean the Doctrine of Baptisme which is the last course and the most fitting these Times and Seasons Briefly then to give you a taste and no more and first of the Sender it is Christ he bids go And whosoever is desirous to go about this great work our Master Christ our Lord Christ must send therefore Luke 10.3 himself saith Ego mitto I send you but how as Lambs among Wolves yet ego mitto Go ye therefore You might be disheartened you poor Ministers of my Gospel to go among ravenous Wolves but ego mitto I send you I bid go Go ye therefore Fear not to go and preach my Gospel among men as fierce as Wolves of whom it is reported that after they have slain the innocent Lambs lick their lips when they reek with their hearts blood be the time such even to these Blood-hounds we must preach not weighing the danger but the Sender casting our eyes up to his Greatness Goodness And first his Greatness who is sole Independent that is under no authority and a Name onely fit for the Lord of Heaven and Earth and it is high ambition yea high Teason to attribute it to any mortal man He sends who is a King of absolute independent Power who purposeth and disposeth all things as he pleases as one saith Tyrants are the Kings of slaves Princes are the Kings of men Christ is the King of kings here dispatching us his Legats on his Embassage to the world This doth divulge his Greatness and his Commission begets in us a courage to tell Judah of her sin and Israel of her transgressions I cannot but likewise take notice of the Senders Goodness to send to us men a sort of miserable treacherous wretches qui pulvis cines Del hostes he sends to us who are dust and ashes and Gods grand foes Here is Love surpassing mans expression God grant that our Love may be reciprocal and to this let all the people say Amen Our Lord and Saviour he sends to us miserable sinners he sends to man man else meant not to make to him Christ is the way the truth the life if the way had not found out us we should never have found out the way herein appears Gods goodness that early and late Messengers are sent unto you to beg to you to be reconciled to God in Christ Jesus Such a message and from such a Statist non sauciare sanos se● sanare saucios not to slay the sound but to make well the wounded this shows Gods infinite goodness to us wretched creatures and obliges all the people to the Lord of life for ever But in haste I will pass along from the Person sending to the
