##Content Summary##

#####Front#####

1. Their principall points which are handled in this Booke: viz.

2. AN ADVERTISEMENT to the Chriſtian Reader.

#####Body#####

1. Their firſt point. That God did predeſtinate all men to be ſaued, vpon condition that they repent, and beleeue the Goſpell.

2. Their ſecond point. That God did not elect before all time, to grace and life, any particular perſons; but in time he doth elect qualities, as faith and obedience, and then finding theſe qualities in men, he doth elect their perſons for the qualities ſake.

3. Their third point is: That all men haue free will in themſelues, as well to repent of their ſinnes, to beleeue the Goſpell and obtaine ſaluation, as they haue to remaine in hardneſſe of heart and vnbeliefe, and in the eſtate of damnation.

4. Their fourth point is: That the ſtedfaſtneſſe of mans iuſtification and ſaluation doth depend vpon his owne will, in continuing in the act of beleeuing and works of righteouſneſſe; and that ſuch as haue faith in Chriſt Ieſus, regenerate perſons hauing their names written in the book of life, may fall away from all, may become vnregenerate, and haue their names raſed out of the booke

of life againe, and periſh: and that God doth alter and change his purpoſe and promiſe, and come to hate and reiect ſuch as he hath formerly loued and iuſtified.

1. Their fift point. That there is no Originall ſinne, but that all children of all maner of people in the world, as well heathens, Infidels, Idolaters, worſhippers of Diuels, all kind of blaſphemers, fornicators, & vncleane perſons whatſoeuer, (as of the faithfull) are free from all pollution of ſinne, both in the conception and birth; and dying before they commit actuall ſinnes, are ſaued.

2. Their ſixt point. That none ought to be baptized but ſuch men and women of yeares onely, as haue attained to true repentance and iuſtifying faith, being both in the account of the Church and in the ſight of God regenerate perſons: and that the baptiſme of children vſed, is no baptiſme at all, but is the marke of the Beaſt ſpoken of in Reuelat. 13.

3. Their ſeuenth point. That Church of England is a falſe Antichriſtian Church, and ought to be ſeperated from.That it is falſe, and Antichriſtian, we proue thus.That the Church whoſe Biſhop and Miniſters, haue had their firſt ordination from the falſe Antichriſtian Church of Rome, whereof Antichriſt is the head, is falſe and Antichriſtian.But the Church of England, her Biſhops, and Miniſters, haue had their firſt ordination from the falſe Antichriſtian Church of Rome, whereof Antichriſt is the head.Therefore the Church of England, is a falſe Antichriſtian Church.That it ought therefore to be ſeperated from, we proue thus.If euery falſe Antichriſtian Church ought to be ſeperated from, then the Church of England ought to be ſeperated from, becauſe ſhe is falſe and Antichriſtian, as before is proued.But euery falſe and Antichristian Church, ought to be ſeperated from, as Reu. 18. 4. Come out of her my people. &c.Therefore the Church of England ought to be ſeperated from.

4. An eight point, held at this preſent by the antient Anabaptiſts. That a King or Maieſtrate cannot be a true Chriſtian, except he giue ouer his kingly office or Maieſtracie.
