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.

manifested in the Flesh an Infant born a Saviour for Infants as well as for actual Sinners and when he appeared in his publick Ministry owned them to be Subjects of his Kingdom and took them up in his Arms and Blessed them and they welcomed him into his Kingdom crying Hosanna to the Son of David as I have shewed more fully in my Book Baptism Anatomized Subjects they were and still are and in the last great day when all shall stand before him namely great and small he will say to them on his right Hand Sheep and Lambs Come ye Blessed of my Father Inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the Foundation of the World Matt. 25. 34. In the mean time Infants of Gods Covenant have Angels in this Life to attend them Matt. 18. 10. as Heirs of Salvation Heb. 1. 14. declared by the Lord Jesus to be with their Believing Parents in the State of the Converted Humble and Believing if the Word of the Lord Jesus may be believed before the word of any that say as aforesaid That Infants are out of Gods Covenant and so Heathens Again in P. 116. he saith That I say in the Preface they ground their Doctrin on Nature and plead Right to Gospel-Ordinances by the Act of Man Answer I have shewed in my Book what Mr. Keach hath asserted in these words That there is nothing less than Profession of Faith that can give any Soul Young or Old Right to Water-Baptism I have given my answer to it in Query 3. p. 38 to 44. which is too long to insert here therefore I desire the Reader to read p. 38 to 44. in my Book seeing H. Collins hath made no answer to it Again H. Collins saith I would insinuate Page 3. That in Baptism a Person is wholly Passive which is by me fully proved in Baptism Anatomiz'd and not by H. Collins in his Book refuted For is it not said John Baptised Philip Baptised by whom the whole act in Baptism was done by the Administrator proved in my Book aforesaid Page 3 to 20. and not by him refuted And whereas he saith I Nick-name them in calling them Anabaptists Answer I have shewed it is no Nick-name And because they name themselves Baptists they cannot prove to themselves that Title whereas all Christians Names must be called after Christ's Name Christians and not after John Baptist's Name or Paul or Cephas's as Paul sheweth in 1 Cor. 1. 12 13. unless they were Baptised in John or Paul's Name Now whereas you say if John was called John the Baptist because he Baptised why may not those be so called that follow his Practice Page 2. Answer Did not the Apostles Baptise as well as John yet no Title by it belonged to them Christ himself was Baptised yet not called by any Baptist And whereas you say the Calvinists are so called from Calvin and Lutherans from Luther yet should not those Names be owned by them unless they had been Baptised in their Names so that when you shall disown to be called Baptists and own your Baptism in Infancy and not Re-baptise again then to call you Anabaptists is a Nick-name You refer me to Page 64 65. but say nothing to purpose there but only you say we know but one Baptism Answer No more do we own but one Baptism in the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost then all that are Baptised in Christ's Name whether Fathers Mothers or Children ought not to be Baptised again because they were Baptised in Christ's Name although in Apostacy as I have proved in P. 119 to 121. of my Book Baptism Anatomized Again H. Collins saith P. 119. That I will have Baptism a pouring of Water on the Face By way of answer he telleth me I am to know pouring is the most proper word which could be used for the Holy Spirits proceeding because it is above with God in Heaven and we upon Earth below here he granteth the Signification of the word Baptism may be understood in its natural Sense a pouring 2ly I answer the word Baptise in its proper signification is best explained by the Spirit of God to which H. Collins agreeth to be a pouring and therefore we ought so to understand it as it is opened to us by God as I have shewed in my Book P. 3 to 11. and seeing you grant that you own but one Baptism P. 116. if there be but one as there is then the natural signification of the word must be one arising from one and the same word then Water out of the Clouds God himself being the Administrator Water was poured on the Persons even then our Fathers saith the Apostles were Baptised standing in the Sea where the Water had been on dry foot so John when he Baptised we have shewed the Persons Baptised may be said to be in the Water or Sea when but standing at the brink where sometime the Water had flowed P. 7. according to the Pattern shewed him from on high as you grant to be by pouring even so John Baptising with Water must agree in one by pouring as by casting Water on the Persons Head or Face seeing I have proved in my Book P. 11. that the Face representeth the whole Person Now tell me what Example had John otherwise to follow than the way of pouring seeing in the Spiritual Baptism it is granted by you as you say I am to know pouring is the most proper word could be used therefore the meaning of the word Baptise is poured or pouring then as there is but one Baptism which likewise you grant the manner in the Administration must be one and the same as all coming down from above on the Person poured or cast on the Person either in the Spiritual or Water-Baptism so John Baptised with Water as they were Baptised with the Spirit by pouring or casting Water on the noble part Head or Face And because I have so fully proved this in my Book I refer the Reader to it to read Baptism Anatomized from P. 3. to 21. and so shall conclude this particular as Peter in another case did Whether shall we believe God or Men concerning the use and signification of the word Baptism let the Wise Judge Again whereas H. Collins saith That I charge B. Keach P. 80. in my Book with the whole Assembly of Baptised Believers as they call themselves that they were forced to try their Wits for want of literal words Remember to keep Holy the first day Answ I disprove not the whole Assemblies Arguments but have added more in my Book to confirm them that the first day is now to be kept Holy and not the Seventh But I blame all those that will allow one Point as an Article of their Faith to be proved by true gathered Consequence from the holy Scripture and not in another all such prove themselves not upright in Heart but Partial for was it not B. Keach that derided us that we were forced

have by Free Grace in Christ to Remission of Sins and so to the Visible Sign thereof Water Baptism to be administred on them And whereas he saith in the Title of his Eleventh Chapter that it containeth a brief but sufficient Answer to my Book Baptism Anatomiz'd he beginneth after this vaunting manner I Query 1. Whether this Man doth not act against the Light of Conscience Experience and Holy Scripture when he asserts Indefinitely the Infants of Believers have by the Free Gift of God in the Covenant of Grace a Right to Remission of Sins and so a Right to Baptism To this he maketh this Answer by way of Query as his only reason to oppose the Truth aforesaid his words are these Had Cain Ismael Esau Absalom Samuel's Sons of Belial all Children of Believers a right to Remission of Sins To which I reply first he saith I assert Indefinitely that the Infants of believers have c. By by the word indefinitely he meaneth without limit or bound this is false for let him shew in what Page in all my Book I have asserted any thing otherwise but according to God's Revealed Will concerning the absolute Right that Insants of Believers have by the free Grace of God in the Covenant of Grace to remission of Sins by giving place to God's secret Election if they to wit Infants of Believers continue like Abel Isaac Jacob Timothy and the like in the way of Faith and Holiness they shall be Saved See p. 32. Baptism Anatomiz'd Secondly If Hercules Collins his Doctrin be a Truth that because some of the Infants of Believers prove not to be of the Election by their evil Fruits when grown up as appeared in Cain Ismael c. that therefore we must conclude from thence that none of the Infants of Believers have a Visible Right by the free Gift of God in the Covenant of Grace to remission of Sins and so now in these last days to Water-Baptism then this will follow That because some actual Believers as Simon Magus Demas and the like fell away after they had been Baptised with the Visible Sign of remission of Sins that therefore all the rest of the Believers in the Apostles days had no Right to the Remission of Sins and so no Right to Water-Baptism But to come nearer to Hercules Collins the Persons Men and Women of his Society being in their Way Baptised and in his Judgment had right to Remission of Sins and some of these in time do fall into gross Sin as to deny even the Ordinance of Baptism and the Lord's-Supper as not to be administred at all as likewise into other gross Sins Will he conclude that all the rest of his Society because some are become so wicked have no right to Remission of Sins and so no right to Baptism If the former Reason of his be true against Infants of Believers the latter is true against Elder Persons And thus this Man at once hath granted by his not giving place to God's Election that no Persons among themselves have right to Remission of Sins and so no right to Water-Baptism for no other reason but because some of them prove Wicked and therefore he must never Baptise any hereafter until he can enter into God's secret Decree to know who only are the Elect that shall never fall totally away after Baptised And thus the Wicked Man is Snared in the works of his own hands Selah that is O mind this well This might serve for a sufficient Answer to his whole Book until he by acknowledging the Truth which I have asserted deliver himself out of this Snare that he is fallen into which he laid for others that because some Infants as Elder Persons visibly in Covenant with the Lord afterward do fall away that therefore all the rest have no right to Remission of Sins But I shall proceed further in laying open more of his Folly If it prove not a benefit to this Goliah-like Boaster it may be a Warning to others to beware of the Doctrin of Anabaptistry In which Book he further saith in Pag. 109. Query the Second Whether there is not good ground given to believe in reading a great part of this Book from Page 25. to 41. and 168. that he is of Origen's Opinion the whole World may be saved at last and then why not the Devils too For saith he in Page 168. If all Infants Sinned in Adam when Adam was restored they were restored in his Loins and when Born they were Born in a Gospel Covenant Page 26. God freely forgave Adam and his Posterity in him their Sin Reply In the 24. Page of Baptism Anatomiz'd I have shewed from Rom. 5. 12. how Sin came into the World as it is written wherefore as by one Man Sin entred into the World and Death by Sin and so Death passed upon all Men for that or in whom all have Sinned thus the Apostle proveth that what I asserted is Truth that all Infants Sinned in Adam's Loins Secondly In Page 25. I shewed the manner or way God was pleased to restore those two sorts of Sinners the one Actual as Adam and Eve the other Passive who in Infancy by Original Corruption derived Sin and by Imputation charged on them Therefore because Adam and Eve had actually and willingly Sinned it was the Pleasure of God that not only our first Parents but also all actual Sinners in all Ages should Repent and actually profess Faith in Christ before they were accepted into Covenant with the Lord and have remission of their Sins Now because the Infants of such were only Sinners by Imputation as aforesaid through Original Corruption and not by their own Act God was pleased and still is pleased and that of free Grace to pass by the sin charged on Infants when the sin of their Parents was Pardoned and therefore the Children born in the Covenant of Grace are by the Lord called his Children accounted born unto him Ezek. 16. 8 20 and 21. And forasmuch as Children are by the Scripture called a Man's Family Gen. 10. 32. God being pleased that in Christ Families shall be Blessed therefore the Lord saith not only before the Law but in the time of the Law and also in the latter days he will be the God of all Families of his Israel that is the Israel of God namely Believers and their Infants whether Jews or Gentiles the truth hereof is confirmed by the Apostle in these words writing not to the whole World but to true Churches separated from the World wherefore as by the Offence of one namely the first Adam Judgment came upon all Men for a Child born is called a Man Gen. 4. 1. Joh. 16. 21. even so by the Righteousness of one namely Christ the second Adam the free Gift came upon all Men unto Justification of Life for as by one Man's Disobedience many were made Sinners so by the Obedience of one many shall be made Righteous Now because when Adam and Eve were

Deut. 30. first preached to Adam and after to Abraham in which Word of Faith Christ is Lord in Sion a chief Corner-stone a sure Foundation on which Foundation all God's Elect build Gold Silver precious Stones when others build Wood Hay and Stubble Now they that build Gold Silver precious Stones are such whose Faith is built upon the Foundation or Doctrine of the Apostles and Prophets Christ the chief Corner-stone joyning their Doctrin in one Harmony together in every Article of the Christian Faith to be tried by that Fire the seven Lamps the seven Spirits of God before his Throne in his Church to the Law and to the Testimony the Gospel made manifest by the Scriptures of the Prophets which by the Testimony of Christ is confirmed sending all that heard him to search the Scriptures of the Prophets to try his Doctrin by and so did the Apostles as by the Example of the Bereans who searched the Scriptures daily to wit of the Prophets to see whether those things were so as the Apostles taught If Christians would do so now they should see clearly the Doctrin of Anabaptistry concerning the State of the Infants of Believers refuted in this following Discourse as afore in my Book Baptism Anatomized is but Wood Hay and Stubble and will not endure to be tried in the Fire of God's Word and Spirit because what they teach out of Christ and the Apostles Writing in the New Testament is not proved by them to be agreeable to the Doctrin of the Prophets as in all their Writing doth appear as in particular now the Eleventh Chapter of H. Collins's Book where in the Title he boasteth that it is a sufficient Answer to my Book yet as concerning all he hath said in the Eleventh Chapter not one Scripture he bringeth out of the Prophets to confirm the Sense of any word he bringeth out of the Writings of Christ or his Apostles about the Doctrin of Baptism to disprove the Right the Infants of Believers have as I have proved both by the Doctrine of the Prophets and of Christ and his Apostles to Remission of Sins and so to Water-Baptism and therefore I affirm the Doctrin of Anabaptistry in this Point now controverted is neither Gold Silver nor precious Stones built on Christ the sure Foundation but Wood Hay Stubble so that till this Man with the rest of his Brethren prove what he asserts against the Truth I have proved in my Book by one Harmonious Agreement of the Prophets Christ and his Apostles and lay aside their present Spirit of Insolence he must be ranked amongst Boasters as it is written Whoso boasteth himself of a False Gift or Gift of Falsehood is like Clouds and Wind without Rain Prov. 25. 14. as Jude hath noted such Teachers v. 12. they are without Water carried about of Winds Trees without Fruits raging Waves of the Sea foaming out their own Shame wandering Stars no fixed Guides to poor Souls speaking Evil of those things to wit of Faith which they know not but what they know naturally as Brute Beasts in those things they corrupt themselves therefore the Apostle Peter hath warned the Churches that as there were False Prophets among the People of Old Deut. 13. 1. even so there shall be false Teachers among you who privily shall bring in damnable Heresies privily meaning as Christ hath warned of such pretending to be Sheep in Sheeps Cloathing in the outside so covering their false Doctrin with the Name of Christ to deceive many who by their privy or secret Doctrin steal into the Minds of Persons so as Ravening Wolves destroy Souls Now seeing we are warned of these Dangers try the Spirits as afore shewed believe none in what they teach in any Article of Faith unless they prove their Doctrin as aforesaid by the Harmonious Agreement of the Doctrin of the Prophets Christ and the Apostles which yet the Anabaptists have not done nor do in any of their Writings against what hath been publish'd by many worthy Servants of Jesus Christ concerning the Right the Infants of Believers have by the Free Grace of God in Christ to Remission of Sins and so a right to Water-Baptism So shall I conclude with the Council of the Lords Servants to the Churches Prove all things hold fast that which is good abstain from all appearance of Evil believe not every Spirit but try the Spirits or Doctrin as afore shewed whether they are of God because many False Prophets are gone out into the World From all such the Lord preserve his Chosen which is and shall be the earnest Prayer of him who is thine in the Lord Thomas Wall Infants Baptism from Heaven of Divine Institution c. IN my former Book Intituled Baptism Anatomiz'd and now further Confirmed is shewed the Vanity of some Objections made by Hercules Collins in the Eleventh Chapter of his Book Intituled Believers Baptism from Heaven Infants Baptism from Earth c. which said Book he sent me with this Challeng Come and stand before the Bar of God's word and make Answer Having perused his Book I find it no Christian Answer but a Compound of unsavory carping scurrilous Language and Goliah-like boasting as one puft up in his Fleshly Mind raging against the Truth which I have asserted concerning the Right the Infants of the Israel of God

is the Lord not Men and Women only but their Infants with them in Scripture called the Lords People Psal 33. 12. which Blessing is the Pardon of Sin for Infants are as well capable of the Pardon of Sin in Infancy as in Infancy they were of the Sin derived from their Parents charged on them and this they take no notice of by way of answer Again H. Collins saith whereas he tells the World P. 16 17. Though the Scripture say they Baptised in Enon because there was much Water it would not be enough to dip half the Body in And further saith I suppose he never was there but speaketh by an implicit Faith Answer I not only gave you in my Book Reasons for what I said from the Scripture which you answer not but gave you two Histories Sandy's and The Travels of the Patriarchs But say you How will a little Water Figure out the Death and Burial and Resurrection of Christ Answer As well as a little Skin of the Superfluous Flesh cut off in Circumcision for Water-Baptism and Circumcision had one and the same Benefit in Christ's Death signified thereby as it is written Col. 2. 11 22. in whom also ye are Circumcised with the Circumcision made without Hands in putting off the Body of the Sins of the Flesh by the Circumcision of Christ buried with him in Baptism wherein also ye are risen with him through the Faith of the Operation of God so to cover the Face which representeth the whole Person with Water the Person hath the Sign of Christ's Death signified to him for the Condemnation for Sin by the Law is compared to a Vail over the Face signifying Death 2 Cor. ch 3. until Christ take it away as was the manner among Men a Sign of Death was to cover the Face as the History of the Book of Esther sheweth Then said the King concerning Hamon Will he force the Queen also before me in the House As the word went out of the King's mouth they covered Hamon 's face Again H. Collins P. 14. saith That I say the Person is not Baptised but the Cloaths and these things are not becoming Modesty to discourse of let that vain Man know we do not Baptise the Cloaths in the name of the Blessed Trinity but the Person Answer The Face representeth the Person the Forehead being the place Gods Name is said to be writ on Rev 22. 4. signifying the bold Profession of the Gospel that is the place whereunto the Seal is to be set as I have largely shewed in Baptism Anatomized P. 12. which you answer not and so deceive your Reader by Objections and carping at words only for in Sealing Gods Covenant with Mankind it is written Gen. 9. 17. This is the Token of the Covenant which I make between me and you I do set my Bow in the Cloud and this Token of Gods Covenant is of Grace in Christ see Gen. 9. 11. Isa 54. 9 10. Rev. 4. 3. set in the Cloud not spread all over the Cloud so in the Seal or Token of Gods Covenant of Grace in Christ with Abraham and his Male Children in which the Females were included My Covenant saith God shall be in your Flesh for an everlasting Covenant Gen. 17. 11 13. not Circumcised all over but on a part for the whole as if the whole Man was Circumcised called the Circumcised Person so likewise in the Seal Sign or Token of Gods Covenant for the Remission of Sins by the Blood of Christ washed away by the Blood of Sprinkling now signifying in the Ordinance of Water-Baptism administred on the Person for a Sign not all over but on one part the principal part the Forehead and Face which as I have largely proved in Baptism Avatomized representeth the whole Person the Forehead and Face being the place whereby the open and bold Profession of Christ's Name as aforesaid or Gospel the Word of God is held forth for where should the Seal be set but to that part of Man where Gods Covenant or Name is said to be set or written therefore as in all Covenants between Man and Man the Seal for Confirmation is set or fixed but to one part of the Conditions and not spread all over although it confirmeth the whole Jer. 32. 9. to 14. Thus if this Man would take Council of God's Word then neither he nor others would lean to their own Understanding to limit the word Baptism in the Administration to their own mistaken Sense for as it was so it is a Sign and Seal of Mercy in Christ to Sinners set on one part of the Person agreeable to all Sealings a part being sealed to represent the whole Hereby the Contention about words would cease as about the Signification of the word Baptism as this Man and others do who confine it to one Sense contrary to the Apostles explaining the word Baptism 1 Cor. 10. and the agreeing in harmony with the Spiritual Baptism for as the Person is Passive in the Spiritual Baptism it being poured on as proceeding from above even so John's Baptism was from Heaven or from above therefore to be poured on the Person for as no Person puts the thing to be Sealed to or upon the Seal but the Seal is set on the thing Sealed which to understand in your sense of the Word overthroweth Order and it sets up your selves to be only Sealed and all others you make them Un-baptized and so that they have no right to partake of the Lord's-Supper but are deprived of all God's Ordinances in your Sense Now let the Reader judge who is the vain Man that would not in the administration of Baptism avoid uncomliness is it this Man or I let the Prudent Judge Again in Page 21. where it is asserted by me that many of the Three Thousand whom the Apostles Baptised Acts 2. 39. were Children seeing the Pardon of sin is by the Apostle Peter apply'd to Children H. Collins's answer is O horrible perverter of the Word of God! These Children whom he speaks of were no more as yet Baptised than the Gentiles which were a far off Uncalled Suppose some of their Children were Baptised it must be Believing Children not Infants my Child is my Child tho thirty or forty years Old You cannot think the Apostles would go beyond their Commission to Baptise any ignorant Infant Answer We read it was a part of the work of Christ's Priestly Office in the Redemption of Mankind to have Compassion on the Ignorant to wit Infants whom he blessed with the pardon of their sins Acts 3. 26. And therefore because Water-Baptism is the sign of Remission of Sins on that consideration the Infants of Believers have Right to Water-Baptism And for maintaining this truth he crieth out against me saying O how Sophistically doth this Man Reason And a●●n he saith in answering what I have said Page 140 to 162 of Baptism Anatomiz'd in vindication of the Covenant which God made with Abraham Gen. 17. 7.
