A67323	Infants baptism from heaven, of divine institution Being a brief yet satisfactory answer to some objections made by Hercules Collins, in his book entituled, Believers baptism from heaven, infants baptism from earth, &c. against certain truths proved in a book entituled, Baptism anatomized. Propounded in five queries, by Tho. Wall. Viz. 1. What water-baptism is? 2. What is the end for which it was instituted? 3. What giveth right to it? 4. Who are the true administrators of it? 5. Whether it be lawful for a man to baptise himself? Wherein the right that the infants of believers have to water-baptism is vindicated: the duty of believing parents in that matter asserted: and that by the contrary tenet and practice, they ought themselved to be excluded from the Lords-Supper, is plainly and fully proved. And wherein is also proved, that the covenant which God made with Abraham, Gen. 17. and with Israel, Exod. 19. and Deut. 29. are the covenant of grace in Christ, and not part of the covenant of works made with Adam before his fall.

11._o and_o see_v you_o grant_v that_o you_o own_o but_o one_o baptism_n p._n 116._o if_o there_o be_v but_o one_o as_o there_o be_v than_o the_o natural_a signification_n of_o the_o word_n must_v be_v one_o arise_v from_o one_o and_o the_o same_o word_n then_o water_n out_o of_o the_o cloud_n god_n himself_o be_v the_o administrator_n water_n be_v pour_v on_o the_o person_n even_o than_o our_o father_n say_v the_o apostle_n be_v baptize_v stand_v in_o the_o sea_n where_o the_o water_n have_v be_v on_o dry_a foot_n so_o john_n when_o he_o baptize_v we_o have_v show_v the_o person_n baptize_v may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v in_o the_o water_n or_o sea_n when_o but_o stand_v at_o the_o brink_n where_o sometime_o the_o water_n have_v flow_v p._n 7._o according_a to_o the_o pattern_n show_v he_o from_o on_o high_a as_o you_o grant_v to_o be_v by_o pour_v even_o so_o john_n baptise_v with_o water_n must_v agree_v in_o one_o by_o pour_v as_o by_o cast_v water_n on_o the_o person_n head_n or_o

the_o way_n of_o pour_v see_v in_o the_o spiritual_a baptism_n it_o be_v grant_v by_o you_o as_o you_o say_v i_o be_o to_o know_v pour_v be_v the_o most_o proper_a word_n can_v be_v use_v therefore_o the_o meaning_n of_o the_o word_n baptise_v be_v pour_v or_o pour_v then_o as_o there_o be_v but_o one_o baptism_n which_o likewise_o you_o grant_v the_o manner_n in_o the_o administration_n must_v be_v one_o and_o the_o same_o as_o all_o come_n down_o from_o above_o on_o the_o person_n pour_v or_o cast_v on_o the_o person_n either_o in_o the_o spiritual_a or_o water-baptism_n so_o john_n baptize_v with_o water_n as_o they_o be_v baptize_v with_o the_o spirit_n by_o pour_v or_o cast_v water_n on_o the_o noble_a part_n head_n or_o face_n and_o because_o i_o have_v so_o full_o prove_v this_o in_o my_o book_n i_o refer_v the_o reader_n to_o it_o to_o read_v baptism_n anatomize_v from_o p._n 3._o to_o 21._o and_o so_o shall_v conclude_v this_o particular_a as_o peter_n in_o another_o

have_v by_o free_a grace_n in_o christ_n to_o remission_n of_o sin_n and_o so_o to_o the_o visible_a sign_n thereof_o water_n baptism_n to_o be_v administer_v on_o they_o and_o whereas_o he_o say_v in_o the_o title_n of_o his_o eleven_o chapter_n that_o it_o contain_v a_o brief_a but_o sufficient_a answer_n to_o my_o book_n baptism_n anatomize_v he_o begin_v after_o this_o vaunt_a manner_n i_o query_n 1._o whether_o this_o man_n do_v not_o act_n against_o the_o light_n of_o conscience_n experience_n and_o holy_a scripture_n when_o he_o assert_v indefinite_o the_o infant_n of_o believer_n have_v by_o the_o free_a gift_n of_o god_n in_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n a_o right_a to_o remission_n of_o sin_n and_o so_o a_o right_n to_o baptism_n to_o this_o he_o make_v this_o answer_n by_o way_n of_o query_n as_o his_o only_a reason_n to_o oppose_v the_o truth_n aforesaid_a his_o word_n be_v these_o have_v cain_n ishmael_n esau_n absalon_n samuel_n son_n of_o belial_n all_o child_n of_o

according_a to_o god_n reveal_v will_n concern_v the_o absolute_a right_o that_o insant_n of_o believer_n have_v by_o the_o free_a grace_n of_o god_n in_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n to_o remission_n of_o sin_n by_o give_v place_n to_o god_n secret_a election_n if_o they_o to_o wit_n infant_n of_o believer_n continue_v like_o abel_n isaac_n jacob_n timothy_n and_o the_o like_a in_o the_o way_n of_o faith_n and_o holiness_n they_o shall_v be_v save_v see_v p._n 32._o baptism_n anatomize_v second_o if_o hercules_n collins_n his_o doctrine_n be_v a_o truth_n that_o because_o some_o of_o the_o infant_n of_o believer_n prove_v not_o to_o be_v of_o the_o election_n by_o their_o evil_a fruit_n when_o grow_v up_o as_o appear_v in_o cain_n ishmael_n etc._n etc._n that_o therefore_o we_o must_v conclude_v from_o thence_o that_o none_o of_o the_o infant_n of_o believer_n have_v a_o visible_a right_n by_o the_o free_a gift_n of_o god_n in_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n to_o remission_n of_o sin_n and_o so_o now_o in_o these_o last_o day_n to_o water-baptism_n than_o this_o will_v follow_v that_o because_o some_o actual_a believer_n as_o simon_n magus_n demas_n and_o the_o like_a fall_v away_o after_o they_o have_v be_v baptize_v with_o the_o visible_a sign_n of_o remission_n of_o sin_n that_o therefore_o all_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o believer_n in_o the_o apostle_n day_n have_v no_o right_n to_o the_o remission_n of_o sin_n and_o so_o no_o right_n to_o water-baptism_n but_o to_o come_v near_o to_o hercules_n collins_n the_o person_n man_n and_o woman_n of_o his_o society_n be_v in_o their_o way_n baptize_v and_o in_o his_o judgement_n have_v right_o to_o remission_n of_o sin_n and_o some_o of_o these_o in_o time_n do_v fall_v into_o gross_a sin_n as_o to_o deny_v even_o the_o ordinance_n of_o baptism_n and_o the_o lord's-supper_n as_o not_o to_o be_v administer_v at_o all_o as_o likewise_o into_o other_o gross_a sin_n will_v he_o conclude_v that_o all_o the_o rest_n of_o his_o society_n because_o some_o be_v become_v so_o wicked_a have_v no_o right_n to_o remission_n of_o sin_n and_o so_o no_o right_n to_o baptism_n if_o the_o former_a reason_n of_o his_o be_v true_a against_o infant_n of_o believer_n the_o latter_a be_v true_a against_o elder_a person_n and_o thus_o this_o man_n at_o once_o have_v grant_v by_o his_o not_o give_v place_n to_o god_n election_n that_o no_o person_n among_o themselves_o have_v right_a to_o remission_n of_o sin_n and_o so_o no_o right_n to_o water-baptism_n for_o no_o other_o reason_n but_o because_o some_o of_o they_o prove_v wicked_a and_o therefore_o he_o must_v never_o baptise_v any_o hereafter_o until_o he_o can_v enter_v into_o god_n secret_a decree_n to_o know_v who_o only_o be_v the_o elect_n that_o shall_v never_o fall_v total_o away_o after_o baptize_v and_o thus_o the_o wicked_a man_n be_v snare_v in_o the_o work_n of_o his_o own_o hand_n selah_n that_o be_v o_o mind_n this_o well_o this_o may_v serve_v for_o a_o sufficient_a answer_n to_o his_o whole_a book_n until_o he_o by_o acknowledge_v the_o truth_n which_o i_o have_v assert_v deliver_v himself_o out_o of_o this_o snare_n that_o he_o be_v fall_v into_o which_o he_o lay_v for_o other_o that_o because_o some_o infant_n as_o elder_a person_n visible_o in_o covenant_n with_o the_o lord_n afterward_o do_v
