A31094	A briefe answer to A discourse, lately written by one P.B., to prove baptisme under the defection of Antichrist, to be the ordinance of Iesus Christ, and the baptizing of infants to be agreeable to the word of God wherein is declared ... that true baptisme and a false church are inconsistent, and cannot stand together : and also maintained, that the baptizing of infants hath no authority from the Scriptures / by R. Barrow.	Barrow, Robert, d. 1697.	1642 (1642)	Wing B967; ESTC R12474	18,380	26

in baptisme contrary to his owne institution Matth. 28.19 and example Marke 1.9 Mat. 3.16 But his great objection against the dipping of the whole man is this he saith That it 's hard to determine how it can stand with modesty and shamefastnesse and yet in the countries where baptisme first began hee urgeth against us that they dipped often and also rubbed thereby to cleanse page 14. Now if he cannot determine how dipping once may be performed with modesty c. how will he determine how dipping often and rubbing to cleanse as he instanceth could be performed with modesty and shamefastnesse Surely he will conclude that they put on a linnen garment But there it will follow that they baptise the garments c. Haply he will say not the garments but the persons in the garment because that when he sprinkleth his infants he doth not strip them naked out of their clothes neither yet will he say that therefore he baptiseth their garments into the death and resurrection of Christ but the infant that are therein But if it must needs follow that they baptise the garments c. in their behalfe I know though not in ours he will determine that it was but an error in respect of the subject like to the baptisme of an infant in the stead of a believer as he pleadeth page 12. and therefore not worthy to be blamed or taken notice of Having thus spoken his minde against the ordinance of Christ to wit the baptising or dipping of believers which in derision he calleth the new baptisme page 3. hee returnes againe to the former argument the baptisme of Infants page 10. which hee saith began many yeeres before Christ died or at least before the Apostles left the world which indeed must needs be true if it be the baptisme which was instituted by Iesus Christ as hee pretends to prove by these reasons that follow His first ground is from the Covenant of God made with Abraham Gen. 17. which covenant he saith was neither part of the new nor yet of the old chap. 17.18 because it was neither confirmed with the blood of Bulls nor with the blood of Christ which thing he saith may seeme new but yet he desires to see the error that attends its I answer marvelling that he should urge Infants being in a covenant not confirmed with the blood of Christ to prove their interest in baptisme and so by consequent in the blood of Christ the blood of Christ is the blood of the new Testament Mat. 26.28 Now if that infants be not in this covenant confirmed with the blood of Christ then can they have no interest in baptisme which serveth as he saith page 14. to set forth our washing and sprinkling with the blood of Christ there needs not therefore any more words be used to shew the errour that attends this new conceit urged to prove Infants right to baptisme when it not onely excludes them from baptisme but also from salvation by Christ But Infants being a part of the Church and members thereof before Christ what doth let them from being so still seeing as hee saith the Lord hath never spoken one word thereof but the contrary I answer that although Infants were of the Church before Christ yet the Lord hath manifestly declared that they should not be so now Christ the true promised seed being once come as is seene Gal. 4.22 c. where the Apostle thus speaketh It is written saith hee that Abraham had two sonnes the one by a bond-maid the other by a free woman 23. but he that was borne of the bond-woman was borne ●fter the flesh but hee of the free woman was borne by promise 24. which things he saith was an allegorie verse 25.26 the bond maid Hagar shadowing out the old covenant or testament and her sonne Ishmael which she bore to Abraham after the flesh or by carnall generation shadowing out all the fleshly and carnall Israelites which should proceed from Abraham in after generations The free woman Sara pointing out the new covenant or Ierusalem which is from above and teaches her son appointing out Christ the promised seed as Gal. 3.16 and believers borne from above or by promise as Isack was the spirituall seed of Abraham as Gal. 3.29 and therefore he saith verse 28. We brethren as Isacke was are the children of promise after this to close up the full intent of the spirit of God in this thing in the 29. 30. verses he sheweth that by the carnall and fleshly seed Ishmael his persecuting of him which was borne by the promise to wit Isaack whereupon hee and his mother was by the command of God both of them together cast out of Abrahams house the Church Gen. 21.10 thereby was foreshowne that when Christ the true Isaack should be borne Gal. 3.16 and the barren woman the new Covenant or Gospell should bring forth and beare sons unto God as verse 27. then should the bond woman the old and carnall covenant with all the carnall ordinances thereof Heb. 9.10 together all her sonnes the carnall and the fleshly seed be cast out of the house so saith the Text verse 30. Cast out the bond woman and her sonne for the sonne of the bond woman shall not be heire with the sonne of the free woman Ioh. 7.35.26 and therefore although children carnally begotten were admitted members of the Church before Christ yet are they not so now but are with their mother the old and carnall covenant with all the appurtenances thereof are to be rejected as was said before and so also is P. B. his exposition of this Script page 22. which by the sonnes of the bond woman onely noteth such who have actually refused and rejected grace as Ioh. 7.35.36 and thereby became bound as though by nature before they had rejected grace they had been free which is a manifest contradiction to the Apostle who by the children of the bond woman understandeth all that are borne as Ishmael was by fleshly generation or all those who are not as Isaake who was by promise as before Col. 4.27.28 with 3 29. His next ground to prove the baptisme of Infants is this because the Apostle exhorteth parents to bring up their children in admonition of the Lord therefore they were of the Church and so by consequent were baptised but how doth hee prove that they were of the Church thus because the Apostle who had nothing to doe with those who are without 1 Cor. 5. exhorts their parents to bring them up in the admonition of the Lord To this I answer that the Apostle did not write this exhortation to the children who were without but to their parents who were within besides where the Apostle saith that hee hath nothing to doe with those that are without 1 Cor. 5.12 it 's manifest that hee doth not meane that he hath nothing to doe to exhort those that are without to know and feare the Lord for hee was sent to preach the
