A
mistery
discovered
,
which
is
The
Baptizing
of
Infants
,
instituted
by
the
man
of
sinne
.
In
which
is
related
,
how
the
true
Baptisme
of
IESVS
CHRIST
,
was
throwne
downe
.
And
how
,
The
Baptisme
of
Anti-christ
,
was
set
vp
in
stead
thereof
,
proved
by
scripture
and
by
ancient
and
latter
writers

DIvers
causes
have
moved
vs
to
seeke
aut
and
discover
this
Ancyent
mistery
of
iniquitie
.
As
first
,
our
longing
after
the
salvation
of
our
Countrie
and
kindred
in
they
flesh
,
who
are
drowned
in
deepe
securitie
,
with
this
accustomed
practice
,
without
any
warrant
at
all
from
Gods
word
,
2.
Because
wee
sie
our
testifieng
against
it
,
have
bene
and
are
continually
persecuted
and
afflicted
,
and
that
not
a
little
as
God
knoweth
,
and
all
men
that
take
notice
of
it
though
it
may
he
some
thinke
they
do
God
service
theirin
hopeing
hereafter
that
for
our
weldoeing
wee
shall
not
so
cruelly
be
handled
,

Wee
are
disireuos
Christ
,
ordinance
and
institution
may
be
made
knowne
,
and
observed
which
is
yet
vnknowne
and
neglected
,
nameles
the
Baptising
of
those
onely
that
Confesse
their
sinnes
&
fayth
.
4
And
lastley
.
That
the
Baptising
of
innocent
infantes
may
be
avoided
,
by
which
the
Carnall
seed
is
taken
in
and
acknowledged
,
to
be
the
true
spirituall
seed
of
Abraham
,
and
so
fayned
Christianitie
in
shewe
(
or
rather
Anti-Christ
.
)
Goeth
currant
in
most
mens
account
for
true
and
vnfained
Christianitie
:
and
by
this
wide
doore
of
▪
Pedo
baptistry
is
let
in
,
not
onely
such
as
des●re
to
have
their
inf●ntes
made
Christians
as
ehey
suppose
:
but
even
hereby
all
are
compelled
they
and
their
Children
to
be
made
Christians
wether
they
will
or
no
.
Whereas
fayth
,
is
the
gift
of
God
,
without
which
no
man
can
be
ingrafted
into
Christ
,
nor
made
a
Christian
indeed
.
These
causes
have
moved
vs
to
manifest
what
wee
can
,
&
because
in
these
dayes
many
men
are
as
much
if
not
more
affected
whith
humane
then
whith
divine
antiquitie
,
wee
have
thought
first
to
declare
the
Anncyent
and
latter
writers
agreeing
with
Christs
comannd
and
thappostles
practice
in
this
thinge
,
as
also
how
infantes
baptisme
came
in
,
in
stead
of
true
Baptisinge
.
As
God
hath
brought
it
to
our
handes
,
translated
out
of
the
Dutch
togue
,
sheweing
also
that
Christ
is
the
doore
,
by
whome
all
that
beleeveth
must
enter
into
the
Kingdome
of
Heaven
,
onely
by
that
way
which
is
presoribed
in
his
word
.
Beseeching
all
to
try
allthinges
,
&
keepe
that
which
is
good
,
&
cast
away
that
which
is
evill
,
&
diligently
to
enquire
for
the
old
and
good
way
and
enter
&
walke
therein
vnto
the
end
:
&
they
shall

the

Wherefore
