THE CONTENTS.

HENRY NICHOLAS Father of the Fa∣mily of Love. He is against Infant-Baptisme. His divellish Logick.

THere was also one Henry Nicholas the Fa∣ther of the family of Love,* 1.1 (as he called him∣self) & not the meanest man of all his Gang; one who by many means endeavoured to cripple the Baptisme of children,* 1.2 as is too known and ap∣parent out of his writings, which at a third hand, he with all fredome, earnestnesse and kindnesse; endeavou∣red to communicate to David George and the other of his fellow-labourers, and his new Ierusalem friends. This man in •• Pamphlet of his, wherein he notably descri∣bed himself, and which he ••••••icated to an intimate friend of his under the name of L. W. maintaining that the* 1.3 minute of the last T••••mpet was coming, th••t should unfold all the Books of unquiet consciences, hell▪ and eternal Judgement▪ which should be found to have been onely things grounded 〈◊〉〈◊〉 mee•• lie••, and as all wicked and high misdeeds were hateful and detestable to God, so also were glorio•••• ••nd plausible lies no lesse odious to him. The same man endeavoured to perswade people, th••t he was a partake of God, and the humani∣ty of his 〈◊〉〈◊〉.* 1.4 He ••••rther affirmed, that at the last day, God should bring all men, nay, the Devils them∣selves into perfect happinesse.* 1.5 All the things that were 〈…〉〈…〉, of Hell 〈◊〉〈◊〉 Angels, and eternall Iudge∣ment, 〈◊〉〈◊〉 the paines of ••••••nation; he said, were only told by the Scrip••••re to 〈◊〉〈◊〉 fear of civil punishments, and to establish right Policy.* 1.6

The conclusion.

These few things we have brought to light, were not invented by us, but were extorted out of their own Disciples, with abundance of discourse, not without the presence of many men of godlinesse and excellent un∣derstanding,* 1.7 they admitting not the universal rule of the Scriptures. But alas! take these away▪ where is Faith? fear of God? eternall happinesse? But let us believe them, let us believe them, and we shall be ••aved.

Oh! that to Heresies I could say
