happen nothing but what should be according to the will of God Of this waking dream did they all unanimously expect the interpretation The foresaid Thomas guilty alas of too much credulity did in the presence of all those sleeping-waking spectators cut off his own Brothers head and having forgotten the use of water baptized him with his own blood But what followed The Magistrate having sudden notice of it and the offence being fresh and horrid the Malefactor is dragg'd to prison by head and shoulders where he having long considered his action with himself professed he had therein obeyed the decrees of the Divine power These things did the unfortunate yeare one thousand five hundred twenty and seven see Here men may perceive in a most wicked and unjustifiable action the eminent tracts of an implacable fury and madnesse which God of his infinite goodnesse and mercy avert from these times ADAM PASTOR Nomine qui Pastor tu Impostor moribus audis Qui â recto teneras Tramite ducis oues THE CONTENTS ADam Pastor a derider of Paedobaptisme He revived the Arrian heresie His foolish interpretation of that place Gen. 2. 17. so often confuted ADAM PASTOR a man born at a village in Westphalia was one of those who with the middle finger pointed at Paedobaptisme that is to say looked upon it with indignation as a thing ridiculous being of the same opinion in that businesse as Menno and Theodorus Philip but as to the incarnation of God hee was of a quite contrary judgment For Menno held that Christ was something more worthy and more divine then the seed of a woman but our Adam stood upon it that he was lesse worthy then that of God so that he rowsed up the Arrian heresie which had lain so long asleep as having been but too famous in the year three hundred twenty five For in a certain book of his whose title was OF GOD'S MERCIE he writ thus The most divine word which is the main considerable in our business is written in the second of Gen. v. 17. The day that yee shall eat of the fruit ye shall die the death This is that word which is made flesh Joh. 1. Yea that God which is uncapable of suffering and impassible is made passible and he that was immortal is made mortal for he was crucisied and died for our advantage To be brief he held that Christ was not to be accounted any thing but the hand the finger or the voice of God But although the opinion or Religion of this third but most unfaithful Pastor Adam wander out of the limits of divinity and that it seem to be an ancient heresie containing nothing in it but what is childish trifling and meer foppery hath been confuted brought to nothing by the most religious preachers of the word of God notwithstanding the barking of the viperous progeny of Arrius and Servetus yet he hath this in particular that he would have us look narrowly to his explication of the second of Genesis which he so commends where he foolishly and vainly endeavours to prove that the prohibition there is the word made flesh This monster did not onely beget this sect but nursed it here are baites allurements and all the poisonable charmes imaginable that may cunningly seduce the best and most innocent of men But alas where is the free and indulgent promise of God of the seed of the woman which cuts the very throat of the Divell and tyes him in the strictest chains where are his often promises to Abraham to Isaac to Israel and to his old people confirmed by a league so solemnly made In thy seed all the earth shall be blessed And thou shalt be a blessing unto me This seed witnesse the Apostle is none other than Christ himself whom God without question meant The desperate contagion of this man's Religion did Servetus and his adherents professe embrace and celebrate HENRY NICHOLAS Vestra Domus Nicholae cadat quae exrudore versoe Futile fundamen Religionis habet THE CONTENTS HENRY NICHOLAS Father of the Family of Love He is against Infant-Baptisme His divelish Logick THere was also ore Henry Nicholas the Father of the Family of Love as he called himself and not the meanest man of all his Gang one who by many means endeavoured to cripple the Baptisme of Children as is too known and apparent out of his writings which at a third hand he with all freedom earnestnesse and kindnesse endeavored to communicate to David George and the other of his fellow-labourers and his new Jerusalem friends This man in a Pamphlet of his wherein he notably described himself and which he dedicated to an intimate friend of his under the name of L.
