And that the said Governour and Company , their Officers and Servants shall have free Liberty in the day-time , in the presence of a Constable , to Search any House , Yard , or Back-side where they shall suspect any Branch or Branches are laid contrary to their knowledge , upon pain of Our high displeasure , and of such pains , penalties and punishments , as by the Laws ●d Statutes of this Kingdom , or Our Prerogative-Royal can and may be inflicted upon the Offenders for contempt of Our Royal VVi●● and Pleasure herein declared : And VVe do hereby straitly Charge and Command all Mayors , Iustices of Peace , Commissioners ●f Sewers , Sheriffs , Bayliffs , Constables , Headboroughs , and all other Our Officers , and Ministers and Subjects within Our said C●ties of London and Westminster , the Suburbs and Liberties thereof , Our Counties of Middlesex and Hertford , whom the same shall o● may concern , That they and every of them hereafter be vigilant and circumspect , that Our Royal VVill and Pleasure herein declare 〈◊〉 be from time to time effectually observed ;

THIS Water was taken notice of about the Year 1648 and a certain Person would have Monopolized it , by Bui●ding and Inclosing it ; and thereupon it was observed that it lost it's Taste , it 's Odour , and Effe●ts , and People left off Drinking it : Sometime ●●●er it was observed to return to it's Primitive Goodness , and bestowed upon the Poor , and it hath held it's Virtue ever since , this is the Traditional Account .

  John Baptist's decreasing and Christ's increasing witnessed being a treatise concerning baptism in the type, and baptism in the mystery / by John Gratton ...

summary:
  [ mark ] Here was need for Iohn ; I have need , said Iohn ; well , Jesus denyes it not but there was so , nevertheless Suffer it to be so NOW [ mark Now ] Why Now ? Because Now is thy Time ; for thou wast sent before me for this End , might Christ have said , and this Dispensation is of God ; and thus , or therefore it becometh us to fulfil all the Righteousness : why , then Iohn suffered him . Of this Man's Seed ( saith he ) hath God according to his Promise , raised unto Israel a Saviour , Jesus , when John had first preached before his Coming the Baptism of Repentance to all the People of Israel : Mind ye , all ye Baptizers in Water , when Christ was raised unto Israel , when Iohn had first preached before his Coming [ mark ] Iohn had a Time we grant and own with all our Hearts ; but was it not before his Coming here spoken of ?

summary:
  But since Babylon , the Mystery of Iniquity , the Mother of Harlots , got upon the Beast , we have seen many a beastly , drunken and unclean Man , pretend to be a spiritual Man , and a Minister of the Gospel ; and hath not such been cried up , and made great , and bore Rule amongst the People , who have been carried away with his Doctrine ; and why ? Because he is a greater Scholar , and hath attained the Languages , and can speak , or write , like Pilate , Latin , Greek , and Hebrew : But is he dead to Sin , and alive unto Righteousness , made so unto God through Christ ? But , Can any Man serve two Masters ? Christ said , They could not : And , Can any Man be both a Servant of Christ , and a Servant of Sin also ? Christ saith , He that commits Sin , is the Servant of Sin : And Iohn , his beloved Apostle , saith , He that commits Sin , is of the Devil : And in my Iudgment it cannot be denied ; for Sin was never any Service of God , but of the Devil ; and if Men be found in the Devil's Service , and yet say , They are Servants of Christ , What sensible Man will believe them ? Now , therefore , here is the ground Cause of all our Divisions about Religion , Rebels and Wicked Men that are gone away from God , Christ , the Holy Ghost , and are gone into the Kingdom of Satan , and live in Sin all their Days ( for his Kingdom is a Kingdom of Sin ) and yet say , They are Servants of Christ Iesus , and the blind People believe them , though their Fruits do manifest them .
