Surely no man in the world can derive advantage from the
abundance of his temporal possessions over and above the necessaries
of life. Why then, the manifold anxieties and cares to provide
for the future in regard to the things which concern the body; since
nature is so soon separated by death from all this? “Seek ye first
the kingdom of God.” Matt. 6:33. “Casting all your care upon
him,” (the Lord) etc. 1 Pet. 5:7.

Though it is not advisable in temporal things to put off doing
the day’s labor until evening, yet it is better late than never. This
holds good also in spiritual things.

[17](/en/stories/mm-of-the-name-anabaptists-17/#FNanchor_17)
The word Anabaptist is here used to signify the same as Taufgesinnte
in the German, and Doopsgesinde in the Dutch language, for
which the English language affords no better term, the literal signification
of Doopsgesinde being baptism-minded.

Ancient Israel was called the circumcision because all Israelites
were circumcised. 1 Cor. 7:19; Gal. 5:6; 6:15.

Paul asked the Church at Rome, whether they did not know,
that as many as were baptized (or incorporated through baptism)
into Jesus Christ, were baptized into his death? Rom. 6:3. Compare
with Gal. 3:27; 1 Cor. 12:13.

Notwithstanding Philips of Marnix; then, F. Beza; then Menso
Alting; then, Abr. A. Doreslaer; and then, the latest translators
of the Bible, have come to another conclusion concerning the
re-baptizing of the twelve Ephesian disciples who had been baptized
by John, Acts 19:1–3; there has, nevertheless, as far as we
have been able to discover, before the time of P. Marnix, yea, for
more than fifteen hundred years, never been a single Greek or Latin
divine who doubted that those Ephesians were baptized again, because
the first time they had been baptized without having a knowledge
of the holy Ghost.
