are taught of God have the answer of a good Conscience professedly they would have a Right to the Ordinance of Baptism but this Logick will never pass the Schools My Child shall be heir to my Inheritannce ergo he is capable of understanding the signing and sealing of it at eight days old had you said he had been capable of understanding the sealing this Estate over unto him at One and Twenty it had carried more of Truth and Reason in it Why are Children denyed the Lords supper if fit for baptism what are Children believers and kept from the Lord's Table do we ever read it was denied to a true Believer what are Children New Creatures Regenerated Born again and deny them the Elements of Bread and Wine Oh! hard Father of Infants Men as wise as your self gave Infants the Eucharist for several hundred years from some of your own Topicks and will you deny it them all your long harangue about Infants being capable of one Ordinance and not of another is but wind will you say in the Ordinance of the Lord's Supper there must be inherent Grace and also Grace exercised but a state of Grace tho not exercised say you is sufficient for Baptism But how doth this Gentleman know Infants are in a state of Grace to qualifie them for Baptism the word doth not help him here and if he conclude so from Charity then there is the same reason to have the same Charity for Children of Unbelievers and more too some times because the Believers Child often falls from a pretended Covenant State Faith Inherent Holiness New Birth Regeneration when the Unbelievers Child abides in all Truly But how comes this Gentleman so bold as to Assert and Print That Actual Grace is not necessary to Baptism Did not Philip call for Actual Grace of the Eunuch before Baptism If thou Believest thou mayest How then can Persons be wholly Passive in Baptism Did the Eunuch go down into the Water and come up out of the Water Did Christ go almost Forty Miles to be Baptised and did it as an Act of Righteousness and yet wholly Passive If you can shew me another Bible where Christ since hath said Persons need not Actual Faith and are wholly Passive in Baptism I may change my mind Whereas he doth Magnify the Lord's Supper so much above Baptism I do Assert what ever is Sealed to a Believer in one Ordinance is Sealed to him in another nay there is more particular words of Incouragement added unto Baptism than to the other 'T is true 't is all comprehended in this This is my Body broken for you and my Blood shed for the Remission of your Sins but for Baptism in Acts 2. you have the promise of Remission of Sins and gift of the Holy Ghost In Acts 22. 't is said to Wash away Sins Symbolically Mark 16. Salvation is annexed unto Faith and Baptism the Lord's Supper was never so Dignified as Baptism by the Procession of the Holy Ghost and it is a Symbol of Regeneration and Justification Rom. 6. Do I see my Sins Pardoned my Person Justified God Reconciled my Person Sanctified Heaven assured at the Lord's Supper I behold the same in Baptism there I see my Sins Buried in his Grave as in the other Nailed to his Cross here I behold my Soul Washed in his Blood Justified by his Righteousness Saved by his Death and is not this a Marriage Feast And ought I not to have the Wedding Garment now as at the Table of the Lord BUT this Gentleman tells me I have Written several strange Positions I am not ashamed the World should see them You must know one of the first Arguments of the Church of Rome for Infants Baptism is That it Washt away Origional Sin Now because I say in opposition to that we know a better way to Wash away Original Sin namely The Imputation of Christ's Righteousness This is one of my strange Positions But pray which is most strange this or the applying all those Texts which speak of Regenerated Men and Women unto little Infants and what they speak of the necessity of Faith in them to apply it unto Babes who neither know Good nor Evil. 2dly ANOTHER strange Position is because I say That as Circumcision was the Door into the Jewish Church which was National so Baptism is the Door into the Gospel Church which is Congregational Now this being true in his own Opinion why should it be a strange Position Why Because I will not allow it came in the room of Circumcision Cannot I make two Doors to my House but one must be a Type of another Or rather Cannot I pull down my Old House and Build a New but my Door of my First House must be a Type of the Door of my last The Door of God's Gospel-House is larger than the Door of his Legal House that Door was only large enough for the Jews and few poor Proselyted Gentiles but the Gospel Door entertains all commers Jews Gentiles Barbarians Sythians So that the First Door could not be an Exemplar or Type of the Last Then only Males were Circumcised now Males and Females Believing may be Baptised therefore Circumcision could not be the shadow of Baptism the Subjects that enter the Door are not the same one are Ignorant Infants the other Persons of Understanding Under the Law the Subjects were wholly Passive but now Church Members must be Active in the Operations and Acts of Repentance and Faith not only those called Conformists but the Non-Conformists also have lost the Door and the Subject that should enter the Door for here are they wholly Passive when they should be Active so that the very Essence of the Ordinance is lost here is neither right Form nor right Subject and what are they that enter not in by the Door but climb up and come in some other way into the House READER consider whether this saying of mine be so strange as his which he hath put in two Mercuries shewing I was not the Author of his Book which I would not have been for the World He tells the People I was never guilty in Writing nor Preaching of any such Extensive Evangelical Truths Is not this a piece of Arrogance with a witness How hath he exposed his Profession and Name to the World besides he knows not what my Preaching is nor hath Read I suppose a third of what is written so that he speaks in the dark And whereas he saith I never was guilty of Writing or Preaching such things I hope I never shall Again Is not that a strange Position of his page 25. Because I say John Baptist required Matt. 3. of the Pharises and Sadduces Repentance from dead Works in order to qualifie them for Baptism and Gospel Church Membership every Tree saith the Text that brings not forth good Fruit is hewen down and cast into the Fire HE from hence concludes and tells the World that my judgment is That little Infants because
