that God would manifest himself to small and great and that the Church should have children instructed and taught of God as was promised by Isaiah This passage then is very clear behold the Prophet saith They shall no more teach every man his neighbour saying Know the Lord and why because saith he I will put my law in their inward parts and write it in their inward parts he doth not reject the external Ministry of the Word but he sheweth that the knowledge of God cometh not properly by the labour and travel of men but it is because the Lord engraveth the Law of his Word in the understanding Ministers by their preaching strike upon mens ears and God by engraving his Law worketh upon and teacheth their hearts as he dealt with Lydia at Pauls preaching Act. 16.14 Therefore it is that Jesus Christ John 6.45 seeing the Jews to murmure and storm against the external Ministry of the Word saith None can come unto me except the Father who hath sent me draw him It is written in the Prophets And they shall all be taught of God whosoever then hath heard and learned of the Father cometh unto me Christ thereby sheweth that those who have heard and learned of the Father do not disdain and reject the Ministry but they come unto it and receive profit thereby and all this sheweth that we are of our selves altogether indisposed to come unto this knowledge of God for otherwise God would not promise to cause us to walk in his statutes and if it were in our own power so to do and that neither great ones by their wisdom not little ones by reason of their ignorance can mount so high unless by the Holy Ghost they be drawn Behold the true sense of the place so wofully corrupted by these first Anabaptists and all they pretend unto tends not but after they have deprived the Church of the Ministry and the preaching of the Word to open the door unto Visions and Dreams as they already have shewn at Munster and Amsterdam as Muntzer their first father had begun unto them Was it not a pleasing thing to hear this alwayes sounding from their mouths The Spirit hath revealed it unto me The Father hath commanded me and when any brought a testimony of Scripture contrary to their dreams and visions suddenly they replied What have we to do with the dead Letter seeing we have the lively word of God imprinted in a living spirit as if the holy Ghost who is the Author of the holy Scriptures could contradict himself The Apostle Paul foreseeing that such Sects would rise up who would despise the preaching of the Word he adjureth his Disciple Timothy before God and the Lord Jesus who shall judge both quick and dead to preach the Word and to be instant in season c. Satan knoweth that he must take off men from the Ministry of the Word when he will have them at his beck to put into their heads what shall seem good unto him and therefore his labour is to bring men unto this that they might hold nothing certain but that they finally being disturbed and uncertain he might make them despair Thus in the beginning he wrought with our Mother Eve denying the express word of God the Lord had said In the day that you eat thereof you shall dye the death The Devil on the contrary denyeth it and saith No no you shall not dye so now he laboureth to take from our eyes the word of God but what may we look for afterwards but that we may be confounded not knowing what side to turn unto For if we acknowledge no more the Scriptures to be the true word of God which as the Apostle Paul saith Was before time written for us that we through patience and consolation of the Scriptures might have hope what will our estate be certainly we shall be more miserabe then the beasts and we must give up our selves to Dreams and Fables as those who have rejected this light and must perish wofully Of the Dreams of the Anabaptists and how they are condemned by the Word of God MVntzer having thus prophaned and rejected the word of God he preached dreams very goodly revelations Muntzer preacheth dreams and rev●lations which he at his pleasure forged as did the false Prophet Mahomet saying that he had seen Angels and gloried that he had talked with them by this means to cheat and deceive the poor ignorant people but all was feigned and counterfeit to make musick unto poor and inconstant fools and the Apostle Paul giveth warning of such gallants that we should take heed of them saying Col. 2.18 Let no man beguile you of your reward c. Yea the Scripture forbids us lending ear to such dreamers the Lord of Hosts speaking in the book of Jeremiah saith thus Jer. 23.16 21 22 26 27 28. Hearken not unto the words of the Prophets which prophecie unto you c. we shall have intelligence of this in these last dayes are they not in a dead sleep who will not be awakened by the noise of this strong hammer of the word of God which breaketh the stones in pieces who can be cleansed by such dung and what truth can come forth out of a lye dreams have deceived many and those have fallen who have trusted to them These words of God are true and sufficient to entangle all our dreamers and ravers with all their celestial visions whereof they do falsly and out of a certain malice vaunt Let us then reject such cheaters and follow the counsel of God in his word and we shall alwayes finde it to be a strong buckler against all assaults Prov. 30.5 Isai 8.19 20. The Lord sends us to the Law and to the Testimony if they speak not according to this word it is because there is no morning-light in them And when Dives desired that the living might be taught by some other means besides the word of God it was answered That they had Moses and the Prophets let them hear them Moreover Muntzer cometh from thence to grapple with the sacrifice of the Son of God to vomit out his stinking blasphemies against it saying Ministers are lyers when they say That Jesus Christ hath satisfied for us Muntzers denial of Christs satisfaction Justification by faith and that we are justified by faith alone without works thus speak these Scribes when they mince unto men These are his words as they may be read in his Books But I pray you is not this filthily to blaspheme the Son of God it will not only follow that the Ministers are only delicious and mincing and make mens Consciences drousie Act. 10.43 Jer. 11.3 but also all the Prophets For thus spake Peter in the house of Cornelius the Centurion All the Prophets bear witness unto Jesus Christ That whosoever shall believe on him shall receive remission of sins through his name Joh. 1.29 36.
