AFter
I
had
set
furth
thys
lytle
booke
to
the
intent
that
the
faythfull
reader
might
therby
be
sterred
vp
and
proud
ked
to
pray
wout
ceasyng
,
that
the
detractours
and
defamours
of
the
faythfull
professours
of
that
faith
of
Christ
,
might
ether
be
made
fauourers
&
sette●…
furth
of
the
same
:
other
els
so
confounded
and
dashed
out
of
countenaunce
through
the
Godlye
conuersation
of
the
true
and
vnfayned
professours
of
the
pure
Euangeli●…e
doctrine
,
that
they
might
not
for
verye
worldly
shame
once
open
their
lippes
to
speak
anye
euyl
worde
of
them
:
incontinent
the
Deuyl
who
ha●…h
alwayes
indeuoured
to
stoppe
and
hynder
the
glory
of
God
and
the
profyte
of
hys
membres
(
the
faythfull
congregation
)
put
into
the
myndes
of
certayne
learned
men
,
(
who
also
are
ernest
defenders
&
setters
furth
of
the
truthe
)
to
reporte
and
affyrme
thys
my
facte
,
to
bee
a
mayntenaunce
and
vpholdyng
of
the
Anabaptistes
opinion
,
whiche
denied
it
to
be
lawful
to
Baptise
the
Infantes
&
yong
children
which
are
not
of
yeares
of
descresion
to
know
and
confesse
the
fayth
of
Iesu
Christ
Not
muche
vnlyke
is
this
subtyle
practise
of
oure
gostlye
aduersarie
,
vnto
that
whyche
he
wrought
in
the
tyme
of
Christes
passion
.
He
dyd
then
beate
into
the
head
of
Pilates
wyfe
suche
kynde
of
dreames
:
that
she
was
thereby
moued
to
send
worde
to
her
husbande
that
in
no
case
he
shoulde
geue
sentence
agaynst
that
iust
man
Iesus
Chryst
,
whom
the
Iewes
had
than
broughte
before
hym
,
requiryng
hym
to
geue
sentence
of
death
vpon
hym
,
because
he
sayde
that
he
was
the
sonne
of
God
.
Thys
proceaded
not
of
anye
desyre
that
he
had
,
that
Pilate
should
not
commyt
so
haynous
a
faut
as
to
geue
sentence
agaynst
that
most
innocent
and
immaculate
lambe
Iesu
Chryst
:
but
of
the
greate
ranker
&
malice
that
he
bare
towardes
man
,
who
could
not
otherwyse
be
restored
them
by
the
bloudshed
of
that
most
pure
and
innocent
lambe
Iesu
Chryst.
Euen
so
(
most
dearly
beloued
)
in
this
present
practise
,
our
gostly
enemy
intented
not
to
roote
out
the
erroure
of
the
Anabaptistes
oute
of
the
myndes
of
men
:
but
because
he
perseiueth
that
the
very
name
of
them
is
so
odious
to
that
faithfull
that
they
thinke
their
bokes
vnworthy
to
be
had
among
christen
men
:
he
thought
that
he
myghte
by
no
meanes
so
sone
bryng
me
out
of
credite
with
the
congregation
as
if
he
myght
procure
some
man
(
whose
authoritie
is
greate
in
the
congregation
)
to
geue
me
the
name
of
a
fauourer
of
that
moost
wicked
and
dyuelish
opinion
:
and
so
to
cause
men
to
refrayne
this
boke
,
least
they
should
by
the
readyng
therof
,
take
any
vtilitie
or
profyt
.
But
,
as
the
spirit
of
God
shal
be
my
guyde
,
so
wyl
I
declare
,
not
onely
that
I
am
none
of
the
fauourers
and
maintainers
of
that
destable
errour
,
but
also
that
I
do
(
as
muche
as
in
me
lieth
)
impugne
and
resist
the
same
,
so
that
,
that
wicked
serpent
,
shal
be
by
the
same
meanes
defeated
of
his
purpose
:
by
whiche
he
in
tended
to
haue
spoyled
the
of
thy
commoditie
.
Fyrst
thou
shalt
note
that
I
am
no
fauourer
of
them
or
theyr
opinions
,
for
that
I
shall
playnelye
declare
that
the
scriptures
whyche
they
aledge
,
make
nothynge
for
their
purpose
And
then
,
that
I
do
in
al
that
I
may
impugne
them
,
by
that
I
shal
endeuour
to
establysh
〈◊〉
fyrmeby
the
scriptures
:
the
contrarye
of
their
opinion
.
For
the
fyrst
thou
shalt
note
,
that
the
ground
of
their
opinion
is
vpon
the
order
that
the
Euangelis●…
Mark
kepeth
in
the
rehersing
of
the
wordes
of
Christ
to
his
Apostles
when
he
sent
them
to
preach
.
Marke
.
xvi
.
Fayth
saye
they
,
dothe
in
the
wordes
of
Chryst
go
before
Bapt●…me
.
Necessarye
is
it
therefore
,
that
he
that
shal
be
Baptised
do
first
beleue
.
But
the
Infantes
(
which
haue
not
the
vse
of
reason
)
cannot
vnderstande
the
fayth
of
Chryst
(
and
muche
lesse
embrace
and
professe
it
)
wherfore
,
it
cannot
stande
with
the
worde
of
God
that
Infantes
should
be
baptised
.
No
doubt
(
christen
reader
it
is
not
possible
that
any
shoulde
be
acceptable
before
God
,
without
fayth
.
For
so
writeth
Paul
to
the
Hebrues
.
xi
.
And
truth
it
is
also
,
that
sayth
must
go
before
baptisme
,
none
other
wyse
th●…n
the
cause
proceadeth
or
goeth
before
the
effect
or
thyng
that
commeth
thereof
,
as
the
tree
must
neades
be
before
the
fruit
that
it
beareth
.
And
it
is
also
infallibly
true
,
that
the
Baptisme
whiche
is
acceptable
before
God
must
neades
springe
out
of
fayth
But
to
inferré
vpon
this
,
that
the
Infantes
and
yong
chyldren
oughte
not
to
be
baptised
:
is
farwyde
from
the
true
m●…anynge
of
these
places
of
scripture
.
And
that
shal
casely
appeare
to
theim
that
●…st
to
weygh
the
circumstaunces
of
the
places
so
that
thei
may
conceiue
the
whole
intent
and
purpose
of
the
wryter
.
First
for
t●…e
wordes
of
our
sauiour
Christ
in
Mark
,
thei
wer
the
word●…s
of
commission
●…euen
to
the
Apostles
,
that
they
shuld
go
into
the
whole
world
and
preach
the
Gospell
vnto
all
creatures
.
These
wordes
sowne
,
that
the
Apostles
myght
not
chose
them
anye
peculiar
nacion
to
preach
vnto
,
nether
Iewe
nor
Gentyle
,
nother
Greke
nor
Romain
.
But
their
commission
was
into
al
the
world
,
yea
.
&
to
preach
to
all
creatures
the
Gospel
of
God
.
No
nacion
,
no
estate
,
condicion
or
degree
,
excepted
.
As
wel
were
they
bound
to
preache
to
the
plowman
as
to
the
prynce
,
as
well
to
the
labourer
,
as
to
the
lorde
.
God
hath
no
respect
to
the
person
,
All
the
sonnes
of
Adam
are
of
one
degree
in
the
syght
of
the
Lorde
.
Here
was
no
mencion
made
Infantes
neither
of
anye
other
age
.
But
I
am
sure
ther
is
no
man
so
farre
wyde
as
once
to
thynke
that
the
Apostles
were
here
in
commaunded
to
preache
vnto
Infantes
.
For
they
as
beastes
lacking
the
vse
of
reason
cannot
receiue
the
fayth
that
hath
his
begynnyng
of
hearyng
(
as
saynt
Paull
wryteth
)
in
this
text
therefore
is
no
precepte
of
Infantes
ether
for
the
Baptisynge
of
theim
other
elles
the
leauyng
of
them
vnbaptised
.
The
precept
that
is
heare
geuen
is
none
other
but
to
go
in
to
al
the
world
and
to
preach
the
Gospel
to
al
nations
,
estates
and
degrees
.
Then
is
there
anexed
the
promyse
of
the
free
mercye
of
God
towardes
all
the
worlde
,
that
is
,
that
whosoeuer
should
beleaue
and
be
baptised
should
be
saued
,
but
he
that
wyl
not
beleue
shal
be
comdemned
.
Here
is
it
manifest
,
that
without
beleue
,
Baptisme
auayleth
not
.
For
he
that
wyl
not
beleue
shal
be
condempned
.
But
heare
we
must
beware
that
we
do
not
by
these
wordes
condemne
all
Infantes
and
yong
chyldren
,
be
cause
they
haue
not
the
power
to
vnderstande
and
beleue
.
For
this
part
of
the
text
partaineth
no
more
vnto
them
,
than
the
other
(
concerning
the
precept
of
the
preachyng
)
doth
.
This
place
of
scriptur
therfore
,
is
to
be
vnderstanded
of
them
onely
that
haue
the
vse
of
reasone
to
perceiue
and
vnderstande
the
preachyng
of
the
gospell
:
and
yet
wyll
not
embrace
it
,
and
receyue
baptisme
,
the
signe
of
the
washynge
of
theyr
sinnes
by
the
preciouse
bloude
of
our
sauiour
Christe
shedde
for
the
redemption
of
the
world
.
As
for
the
other
texte
,
that
is
of
Paule
to
the
Hebrues
the.
xi
.
chapit
.
wherin
is
declared
that
without
faieth
non
can
he
acceptable
to
God
:
apparteyneth
also
vnto
suche
as
are
of
yeres
of
discrecion
.
For
in
al
the
chapter
,
is
ther
none
rehersed
but
such
as
were
of
age
&
discrecion
.
Wherfore
we
maye
iustly
inferre
herof
,
that
it
is
not
possible
that
any
persone
shoulde
bee
acceptable
vnto
god
in
hys
workes
,
without
the
worke
that
he
doeth
,
do
proceade
of
a
pure
and
sincere
fayth
.
For
as
the
prophet
Esaye
,
sayth
in
his
.
lxiiii
.
chap.
Out
workes
are
al
as
the
cloth
that
is
defiled
with
menstruous
bloud
.
And
further
,
〈◊〉
.
Paule
to
the
Romaynes
.
xiiii
The
workes
that
procede
not
of
fayth
are
sin
Fayth
it
is
therfore
that
maketh
our
doinges
acceptable
vnto
God
,
and
without
fayth
nothyng
that
we
doo
is
acceptable
.
Wherupon
I
infer
that
excepte
the
congregation
whych
Baptise
they●…
chyldren
do
it
of
faith
:
this
their
Baptisyng
is
synne
in
the
syght
of
God
,
and
therfore
not
acceptable
vnto
God
.
But
if
the●…
do
it
of
fayth
●…rusting
that
God
shal
plant
in
the
hertes
of
the
infantes
that
lyuynge
fayth
that
may
cause
them
to
confesse
his
name
when
they
shal
receyue
the
vse
of
reason
:
then
is
this
their
facte
no
lesse
acceptable
before
God
the●…
the
deede
of
Abraham
was
when
he
vpon
the
fayth
that
he
had
in
the
promyse
of
God
:
Circusised
al
the
males
of
hys
housholde
.
For
,
as
Circumcision
was
a
signe
or
token
to
declare
that
all
they
that
receiued
it
,
trusted
to
bee
redeamed
by
the
Mesias
that
was
promysed
to
the
sayde
Abraham
,
and
as
the
fathers
to
declare
thier
faythful
hope
,
dyd
not
onely
cyrcumsise
theim selues
,
but
their
chyldren
and
familes
also
:
so
is
Baptisme
a
signe
to
declare
that
the
receiuers
therof
,
doo
vnfaynedly
beleue
that
that
bloud
of
Chryst
hath
washed
their
sinnes
,
And
vppon
lyke
trust
as
the
fathers
had
,
that
God
wyl
extend
his
mercy
vnto
their
chyldren
and
famyly
:
they
do
baptise
them
also
,
as
appeareth
in
the
actes
of
the
Apostles
,
wher
is
mencion
made
of
certayne
men
whose
families
and
housholdes
were
Baptised
when
thei
,
had
receiued
the
fayth
.
But
here
it
myght
be
sayd
that
in
these
places
it
is
mencioned
that
the
whole
families
beleued
and
then
receiued
Baptisme
.
So
that
the
infantes
(
whych
had
no
beleue
)
remayned
styll
vnbaptised
.
Whervnto
I
aunswere
,
that
if
the
Parentes
were
faithful
,
they
coulde
not
chose
but
theyr
faith
would
constrayne
them
to
do
as
those
fayth
ful
dyd
that
brought
their
chyldren
vnto
Christ
,
Marke
.
x.
And
then
the
Apostles
I
am
sure
were
not
so
forgetfull
but
that
they
bare
in
mynde
the
wordes
of
their
maister
who
rebuked
them
for
forbidding
the
children
to
approch
hym
,
whych
were
brought
by
theyr
faythfull
parentes
that
he
myght
put
hys
hand
on
them
Yea
,
〈◊〉
doubte
not
but
that
after
the
example
of
theyr
maister
,
they
embraced
the
infantes
declaring
them
to
be
the
inheritours
of
the
king
dome
of
God
,
and
that
none
should
enter
that
kyngdome
:
vnlesse
he
woulde
become
a●…
one
of
them
.
Thus
haue
I
declared
myne
opinion
concernynge
the
Baptisme
of
infantes
(
as
I
trust
)
sufficietly
to
satisfy
them
that
haue
in●…staken
me
,
&
to
declare
that
all
such
sentences
(
in
this
litle
boke
)
as
doo
so
greatly
impugne
Baptisme
without
faith
:
are
to
be
vnderstand
so
,
that
nether
they
that
be
of
age
ought
to
be
Baptised
without
they
do
fyrst
beleue
and
Chryst
:
nor
the
infantes
onles
the

Per
me
I.D.
The
Prologe
.
SEynge
that
saynte
Paule
sayeth
to
the
Ephesians
iiii
.
that
there
is
but
one
fayth
or
beliefe
,
so
may
euery
christen
man
hertely
morne
,
when
he
seeth
that
so
manye
and
diuers
faythes
are
founde
,
amonge
them
that
boste
them selues
to
be
christen
men
.
Also
that
the
one
dreadfully
sclaundereth
and
with
great
tyranny
persecuteth
the
other
,
and
that
wythout
indifferencie
.
But
also
the
lorde
Iesu
Christe
hath
sayed
:
that
in
the
last
dayes
shall
be
many
offended
,
and
the
one
shall
betraye
the
other
,
and
the
one
hate
the
other
.
And
that
many
false
prophetes
and
false
christen
shal
aryse
and
seduce
many
.
For
thys
cause
is
it
very
necessary
that
euery
christen
man
faythfully
crye
vnto
God
wyth
continual
prayer
,
that
he
wy●…
gyue
hym
a
stedfast
beliefe
,
and
wyl
kepe
hym
in
the
ryghte
waye

that

not
go
into
croked
wayes
,
through
the
gyle
or
disceyt
of

muste
confesse

But
for

former
scriptures
are
spoken
of
them
onelye
that
bee
of
yeres
of
discretion
before
they
receyue
the

It
is
no
altering
of
the
institution

worde
of

to
baptyse
the
innocentes
and
vnbeleuynge
infauntes
,
whyche
haue
not
as
yet
receyued
the
vse
of
reason
,
wherby
they
myght
decerne
fayth
to
beleue
and
professe
the
name
of
Christe
.
For
as
in
the
circumsition
of
the
olde
lawe
the
fayth
of
the
parentes
sufficed
to
make
the
chylde
one
of
the
chosen
people
of
God
,
notwythstandyng
that
the
circumsicion
of
the
flesh
is
not
circumsicion
(
as
Paule
wrytteth
to
the
Romaynes
)
but
the
circumsion
of
the
herte
,
euen
so
in
the
baptisme
of
our
infantes
,
notwythstandynge
that
the
washing
of
the
body
in
water
is
not
baptysme
,
but
the
washynge
of
the
soule
in
the
bloude
of
Christe
by
fayth
:
yet
shall
the
fayth
of
the
parentes
be
accepted
of
God
and
theyr
chyldren
made
members
of
the
churche
of
Christe
therby
.
Yf
anye
require
wytnesses
of
the
scripture
for
thys
assersion
:
lette
hym
reade
and
consyder
well
the
storye
of
Samson
,
and
Samuell
,
wyth
other
lyke
storyes
of
the
olde
testament
,
wherin
may
easilie
be
perceyued
how
god
dyd
then
accepte
the
chyldren
for
the
parentes
fayth
.
Let
him
con
syder
also
the
stories
of
the
gospel
,
wherin
appeareth
how
Christ
woulde
not
haue
the
chyldren
kepte
from
him
when
theyr
parentes
brought
them
to
hym
that
he
myght
laye
his
handes
vpon
them
,
and
how
certeyne
chyldren
were
cured
of
diseases
euen
for
the
fayeth
that
was
founde
in
theyr
parentes
.
And
laste
of
all
it
is
euident
both
in
the
Actes
,
and
Epistles
of
the
Apostles
,
that
when
certeyne
men
receyued
the
gospell
,
both
they
and
theyr
whole
housholdes
were
baptysed
.
Where
it
is
not
to
be
thought
that
the
infantes
were
reiected
,
bycause
they
could
not
vnderstande
the
Apostles
preaching
.
For
saynte
Paule
wrytiynge
to
the
Corhinthians
as
concernynge
the
chyldren
begotten
betwene
an
heathen
man
and
a

or
betwene
an
heathen

sayeth
that
the
chyldren

And
what

thynge
shoulde

there
to

Of

THe
supper

is
a
memoriall
token
of
the
suffering
and
death

sholde
come

magnyfyenge
his
holy
name

and
then
also
eate
of
this
bread
and
dryncke
of
thys
wyne
,
to
a
remembraunce
that
Chryste
hath
gyuen
his
body
and
shed
his
bloude
for

Math

And
because
that
it
is
a
comyn
vse
that
a
token
of
remembraunce
hath
the
name
of
the
thynge
that
is
remenbred
by
it
.
Therfore
hath
Chryst
called
the
breade
his
bodye
,
and
the
wyne
his
bloude
:
not
that
his
substaunce
is
in
the
breade
and
wyne
,
but
that
we
sholde
remember
hym
therby
.
Lykewyse
as
the

lambe
was
called
the

and
yet
was
it
not
in
it selfe
the
very
pas
syng
by
,
but
a
token
or
remembraunce
of
the
passyng
by
.
Deynge
now
that
the
easter
lambe
hath
the
name
of
the
thing
that
the
Israelites
remembred
by
it
,
and
wherby
they
myght
euer
lastyngly
kepe
in
remembraunce
the
benefytes
of
god
,
right
conuenient
is
it
that
Christe
hath
called
the
breade
his
body
,
and
the
wyne
hys
bloud
bicause
that
we
shoulde
remember
therby
his
death
and
passion
,
yea
the
only
sacrifice
of
his
body
,
whiche
he
hath
sufferyd
to
be
broken
and
his
bloud
to
be
shed
for
vs
.
Neuerthelesse
how
be
it
that
the
materyall
body
of
Chryste
is
not
in
the
bread
,
nor
his
bloude
in
the
wyne
,
yet
neuerthelesse
is
the
supper
of
the
Lorde
〈◊〉
parttakynge
(
but
spyrytually
)
of
the
body
and
bloud
of
Chryste
,
as
Paule
sayth
:
Is
not
the

geuyng
wherwith

gyue

a

And
the
bread
that
we
breake
,
is
it
not
the

takyng

These
wordes

clerely

that

For

that

And

that
now
Chryste
as
concernyng
his

abydeth

so
may
not

And
agayne
it
is
agaynst
all
truth
that
Chryste
at

hath
ben
in

places
,
as

Forthermore
we
do
dayly
se
what
dredful
ydolatrye
is
s●…rong
out
of
the
carnall
vnderstandynge
of
these

of

:
This
is
my

and
yet
dayly
spryngeth
,
to
the
great

abominable
slaunder
of
the
honoure
of

so
that
men
worshype
a
piece
of

for
theyr
god
,
yea
and
holde
that
to
be
theyr
maker
.
And
the
papystes
locke
hym
in

and
syluer
,
not
remembrynge
what
Paule

sayenge

O

that
ye

the

O
blyndnesse

presumptuousnesse
of

that
wyll

out

by

and
that
it
shoulde

whyche

Nowe
what

therfore
muste
we
do
as
the

Iesu

spake
vnto

sayinge
:
Let

But
the

be

that
out

that
we
can
se

,
wherfore
we
shal
take
the
bread

the

in

namely
for
a
memoriall
and
token
of
the
sufferyng
and
death
of
Iesu
Christ
yea
for
the

and
bloud
of

but
that
for

by

,
and
not
of

,
as
is
aboue
rehearsed
of

☞
Forthermore
the

is
also
a

of

And

Philip

i.
hauing
a
burning

For
Paule
sayth
:
we
many
are
one
breade
and
one
bodye
,
in
as
muche
as
we
are
partakers
of
one
bread
.
Lyke
wise
as
that
mebres
of
one

are
not
in

one
agaynste
an
other
:
but
in
a
charitable
vnitie
seruynge
one

so
maye
there
no
stryfe
nor
debate
be
founde
in
the

of

i.
Corhin

i.
so
that
any

shoulde
onely
care
and
take

for
hym selfe
,
and
not
care
nor
loke
vpon
his
brothers

,
but
the
one

helpe
and
care
for
the
other
in

necessary

where

no

seke

Philip

And
lykewise
as
of
the
graynes
of
corne
can
not
be
baken

,
but
through

:
euen
so
can
not
the
congregacion
be
a
right
spirituall
lofe
(
wherof
Paule
speaketh
)
but
through
burning
loue
&
charitie
.
And
so
ought
that
christen
congregacion
to
be
one
lofe
.
i.
Cor.

For
lykewyse
as
many
graynes
are
sowen
to
the
entent
that
breade
shoulde
be
baked
of
it
.
So
soweth
the
greate
father
of
housholde
his
preciouse
wheate
into
the
acre
or
grounde
of
this
world
,
to
the
entent
that
they
all
shoulde
become
one
lofe
,
and
breake
the
supper
of
the
Lorde
rightly
after
the
wordes
of
Paule
:
we
many
are
all
one
breade
and
one

,
in
as
much
as
we
are
parte
takers
of
one
breade

And
where
so
euer
the
congregacion
is
not
so
apoynted
and
the
breade
broken
in
thys
maner
,
there
is
the
bread
eaten
,
and
the

dronken
to
a

,
from

that
Matrimony
