9. All outward ser••ice, ordinances, confession of Christ before men are things free, and indifferent, and the Popish ex∣ternall Service, of Masse, Images, Pope, Bishops, Cardinals, Deanes, and such dirt, are lawfull and free; onely Antino∣mians and Saltmarsh will have them a little Legall and literall, and that is all their fault.
10. The laying downe of our lives, and forsaking all for Christ, are to be expounded Spiritually, and Allegorically, (as Familists custome is, and that abominable Peece, called Philo∣sophy dissected doth) and so are other Scriptures to be expoun∣ded in the Spirit, not in the Letter, and in consequence, as saith Saltmarsh, to wit, not of confession of Christ to the death, as James who was beheaded for the Gospel, Acts 12. and the Apostle Peter who dyed for Christ, and the Saints who loved not their lives to death, and were slaine for the word of God, and the testimony of Jesus, and the two wit∣nesses against whom the Beast that ascendeth out of the bottomlesse pit made warre, and killed them; and the Apo∣stles who were scourged, the Saints who were killed all the day long, and counted as sheepe for the slaughter, for the Lords sake, and confessed Christ, and were not ashamed of him before men, lest Christ should deny them before his Father and the holy Angels.

Baal, the Devill, may have the outward man.
11. None can dispense the Ordinances, Baptisme, and the Lords Supper, but the Regenerate. I wish Independents in the constitution of their Churches, without any warrant of the Word, had not paved the way to this error.
12. Outward Baptisme is no Baptisme, which yet is a law∣full Ordinance of God, though it bee not profitable to save without the inward Baptisme of the Spirit.
Antinomians border well-neere with Familists, in many of these points. For Saltmarsh is much upon the Spirit for a
