A74998	Some baptismal abuses briefly discovered. Or A cordial endeavour to reduce the administration and use of baptism, to its primitive purity; in two parts. The first part, tending to disprove the lawfulness of infant baptism. The second part, tending to prove it necessary for persons to be baptized after they believe, their infant baptism, or any pre-profession of the Gospel notwithstanding. As also, discovering the disorder and irregularity that is in mixt communion of persons baptized, with such as are unbaptized, in church-fellowship. By William Allen.

the_o salvation_n of_o man_n seem_v much_o concern_v in_o the_o due_a use_n of_o baptism_n it_o be_v like_o a_o question_n will_v arise_v in_o the_o mind_n of_o some_o whether_o i_o make_v baptism_n a_o condition_n of_o salvation_n or_o a_o thing_n necessary_a thereunto_o since_o so_o to_o do_v be_v look_v upon_o as_o a_o most_o importune_a notion_n and_o conceit_n in_o as_o much_o as_o it_o be_v

of_o many_o thousand_o now_o live_v who_o can_v be_v persuade_v that_o it_o be_v their_o duty_n for_o answer_v to_o this_o question_n 1._o i_o desire_v to_o make_v baptism_n nothing_o else_o than_o what_o the_o scripture_n make_v it_o nor_o to_o put_v more_o necessity_n upon_o it_o than_o what_o the_o scripture_n have_v put_v upon_o it_o a_o account_n whereof_o i_o have_v in_o part_n give_v and_o therefore_o shall_v refer_v those_o that_o desire_v satisfaction_n in_o this_o particular_a to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n to_o consider_v what_o that_o make_v it_o how_o far_o necessary_a and_o how_o far_o not_o only_o in_o review_v those_o scripture_n which_o have_v be_v produce_v hereabout_o i_o shall_v desire_v that_o it_o may_v serious_o be_v consider_v by_o those_o that_o think_v baptism_n superfluous_a where_o the_o gospel_n be_v common_o profess_v or_o at_o least_o among_o such_o person_n that_o have_v long_o engage_v in_o a_o conscientious_a profession_n thereof_o as_o
