A76101 The arrovv of the Almighty shot out of the creatures bowe, against the uncalled ministers in England. Or, A messages sent to them to forewarn them of their determined destruction, before it fall upon them. Likewise here is shewed, from whence they had their calling into the ministery; and how all people have been decieved by them. Here is also a glass wherein all formalists may see their own deformity, and so seek after that which is the substance, wherein all their deformity shall be done away. Likewise here is opened the mystery of the Lords Supper, and the mystery in Baptism; and how there is a threefold Baptism, having relation to the three fold name of Father, Son, and Holy Ghost; with other truths very needful to be known. All of them being laid down in as brief a manner as possiblemay be, for the use and instruction of the Presbyterians, Independants, and Anabaptists, so called; or for the good of all others who have a minde to seek God in a right way; and in the conclusion, a word to the free-gracians.

you_o become_v to_o know_v your_o own_o self_n you_o shall_v not_o jar_v so_o much_o with_o they_o as_o you_o do_v for_o you_o and_o they_o and_o the_o papist_n too_o be_v all_o brethren_n in_o the_o

be_v incorporate_v into_o the_o divine_a nature_n this_o be_v the_o life_n and_o bliss_n of_o all_o bless_a soul_n and_o in_o what_o you_o affirm_v in_o your_o first_o and_o second_o conclusion_n you_o may_v absolute_o deny_v that_o any_o can_v be_v save_v before_o baptize_v for_o this_o do_v undeniable_o follow_v and_o as_o your_o form_n and_o conclusion_n be_v but_o error_n so_o this_o

though_o this_o baptism_n be_v a_o ordinance_n yet_o dare_v you_o not_o conclude_v that_o any_o be_v not_o save_v before_o it_o be_v institute_v neither_o that_o all_o be_v save_v who_o be_v baptize_v then_o if_o god_n have_v a_o way_n to_o save_v before_o the_o institution_n of_o any_o ordinance_n then_o by_o the_o same_o way_n he_o can_v save_v without_o the_o ordinance_n and_o the_o truth_n be_v by_o the_o same_o way_n he_o save_v under_o ordinance_n and_o therefore_o the_o same_o way_n he_o save_v without_o ordinance_n the_o ordinance_n itself_o do_v not_o save_v and_o that_o way_n which_o god_n save_v all_o soul_n by_o and_o through_o be_v his_o own_o wisdom_n power_n and_o righteousness_n viz._n his_o christ_n in_o the_o divine_a nature_n by_o which_o he_o be_v in_o the_o father_n

administer_a of_o any_o ordinance_n or_o live_v under_o any_o ordinance_n that_o save_v and_o therefore_o i_o conclude_v true_o and_o upon_o true_a ground_n that_o if_o child_n die_v or_o any_o other_o though_o not_o baptize_v may_v be_v save_v as_o well_o as_o those_o who_o be_v baptize_v and_o all_o by_o virtue_n of_o the_o divine_a nature_n who_o be_v not_o tie_v to_o or_o give_v to_o

therefore_o i_o will_v have_v you_o to_o take_v heed_n and_o beware_v of_o the_o false_a doctrine_n of_o your_o lie_a priest_n who_o have_v teach_v you_o these_o thing_n that_o thereby_o you_o may_v

and_o love_n of_o god_n then_o if_o you_o want_v this_o their_o poor_a act_n likewise_o from_o these_o three_o former_a conclusion_n this_o four_o do_v successive_o follow_v viz._n that_o one_o live_v and_o yet_o unbaptise_v be_v not_o or_o can_v be_v incorporate_v into_o christ_n and_o as_o all_o the_o former_a be_v but_o error_n so_o be_v this_o also_o and_o clear_a against_o the_o work_n and_o

nor_o the_o virtue_n of_o any_o ordinance_n that_o do_v incorporate_a into_o christ_n but_o that_o which_o do_v incorporate_a into_o christ_n be_v the_o gift_n of_o god_n and_o that_o be_v faith_n eph._n 2.8_o and_o faith_n may_v be_v give_v of_o god_n without_o the_o administration_n of_o a_o ordinance_n if_o you_o deny_v this_o than_o you_o deny_v scripture_n for_o faith_n be_v before_o

so_o all_o your_o conclusion_n be_v but_o false_a and_o in_o observe_v of_o this_o ordinance_n of_o baptism_n you_o know_v not_o what_o you_o do_v nor_o what_o you_o observe_v for_o to_o this_o very_a

but_o now_o the_o soul_n be_v bring_v into_o this_o suffer_a way_n or_o plunge_a condition_n under_o the_o baptism_n of_o john_n or_o spiritual_a cut_n of_o the_o law_n wherein_o the_o abomination_n that_o make_v desolate_a begin_v to_o appear_v then_o grow_v such_o a_o soul_n to_o sink_v down_o into_o great_a humility_n and_o in_o patience_n wait_v for_o the_o appear_v of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n who_o must_v in_o the_o manifest_v of_o his_o name_n restore_v peace_n and_o give_v comfort_n and_o deliver_v the_o soul_n out_o of_o that_o great_a desolation_n make_v in_o it_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o great_a abomination_n and_o so_o it_o be_v that_o when_o the_o soul_n be_v right_o prepare_v by_o the_o second_o baptism_n of_o john_n then_o in_o his_o own_o time_n and_o place_n the_o name_n of_o the_o son_n become_v manifest_v in_o that_o soul_n and_o the_o lord_n who_o it_o have_v seek_v do_v come_v into_o his_o temple_n mal._n 3.2_o and_o then_o it_o be_v that_o the_o virtue_n of_o the_o name_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n become_v powerful_a in_o deliver_v the_o soul_n out_o of_o that_o desolate_a wilderness_n from_o among_o the_o enemy_n that_o it_o find_v there_o and_o those_o lust_n that_o lead_v it_o captive_n be_v become_v captive_v and_o the_o shadow_n of_o death_n be_v dissipate_v and_o the_o garment_n of_o mourning_n be_v cast_v off_o and_o the_o soul_n clothe_v in_o the_o garment_n of_o praise_n and_o then_o the_o soul_n can_v rejoice_v and_o right_o sing_v haleluia_o to_o he_o that_o have_v do_v these_o thing_n for_o it_o and_o thus_o it_o be_v that_o god_n in_o the_o second_o appearance_n in_o the_o distinct_a property_n become_v to_o be_v know_v in_o a_o more_o sweet_a and_o love_v and_o peaceable_a manner_n than_o he_o be_v know_v in_o the_o first_o name_n before_o the_o godhead_n have_v divide_v itself_o as_o be_v before_o say_v and_o thus_o moses_n in_o the_o first_o dispensation_n under_o the_o covenant_n of_o work_n by_o his_o

of_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n i_o will_v have_v enlarge_v more_o upon_o the_o baptism_n of_o john_n but_o that_o i_o have_v already_o speak_v something_o thereof_o in_o a_o little_a treatise_n

and_o therefore_o while_o you_o pretend_v and_o preach_v faith_n so_o much_o you_o bring_v but_o the_o soul_n of_o the_o people_n into_o a_o snare_n and_o they_o be_v in_o as_o great_a danger_n to_o
