down it makes my heart to bleed to see all Christendome the Cockpit of the world to the great scandall of Christ and Christianity among Mahumitans and Infidels It is a matter if possible to be bewailed with teares of bloud that no Nation or people in the world so persecute one another as these that are called Christians do What rule they have from Christ herein is to me unknown sure his gentle and sweet cariage ●aught us or otherwise who when the Disciples would have called for fire from heave● to consume the Samaritans he reproved them for their headinesse Luke 9 54 The root of all these fiery distempers in Chr●ste●dome as I conjecture is no other then the doctrine of compulsion of conscience which ha●h been gr●undlesly affixt upon the Magistrate by those that w●re su●e they should ●ave the Magistrate on their side And thoug● persons dec●●ed more Heterodoxe then either the Independent or ●at●paedobap●st or the nick-named Anabaptist may challenge the liberty of their consciences by divine right yet may these in a speciall manner challenge it as d ff●ring from the Presbyteriall judgement in smaller matters as the st●ong and the weak did in point of dayes and meates Rom 14.

Question WHether it be lawfull to Baptize infants Answer It s unlawfull for these arguments The Baptisme of Christ is dipping The Baptisme of infants is not dipping therefore the Baptisme of infants is not the Baptisme of Christ I prove the proposition that the Baptisme of Christ is dipping three waies 1. From the Greek Lexicon the Author hereof could not be suspected Scap. in Verbo 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 as being an utter enemie to the Tenent as calling the Anabaptists a diabolicall Sect and himselfe a Calvinist as appeares By his Dedication of his Book to the Magistrates of Berne He gives the prime signification to be to Drownd Dip or Plunge and Sometimes to Wash as he cites Mark. 7. Luke 11. which are all the authorities he brings for the word to signifie to wash he brings no authority out of any Greek Author for to prove it to signifie so much as to wash But he never gives it the least title of signification as if in any Auther Sacred or Prophane it did signifie to Sprinkle 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Though in one Heathen Au●hors 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 is used for ad yet in Scripture it is used for into Mat 28.19 1. Cor. 8.13 Specially after the Word Baptise 1 Cor. 1.13 Mar. 1 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 2. From the difference twixt Baptizing and Sprinkling in Scripture We see what Sprinkling is Heb. 9.13 19. The ashes of an Heyfer sprinkling the vnclean So vers 19 he took the blood of Goates and Hysope and sprinkled both the Book all the people The Greek word is 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Now Baptizing in Scripture is Dipping Luke 16 24 a Send Lazarus 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 that he may not Sprinkle but dip the tip of his finger in water Iohn 3.23 Iohn was Baptizing in Aenon neer to Salem because there were many waters or much water ther● which would have been needlesse had Sprinkling been the manner of Baptizing Math. 3.6 They were Baptized of Iohn in Iordan Mar. 1.8 I Baptize you with water So it is in the Greek which he could not have said had he not applied the subject to the water But especially Mark 1.9 They were Baptized of Iohn into Jordan which signifies the word to mean to Dip not to Sprinkle and it shewes there was an application of the person to the water not of the water to the person as it is in Sprinkling So vers 10. Straitway coming out of the water Acts. 8.38.39 Philip and the Eunuch b they went both of them into the water and he Baptized him So much appeares in the phrase buried with him by Baptisme Rom. 6.4 Col. 2.12 For it shewes there must be a dipping in it or else there can be no buriall 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Th● preposition 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 signifies not to but into as apeares by these words 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 and 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 ascenderunt discenderunt and these words 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 not from but out of the water ●●ct 8 ●8 ●i 3. That Baptisme signifies no other thing then Dipping appeares from the proportion and lively resemblance twixt dipping into the water and rising up again Dipping signifieth death and Buriall with Christ and rising up above the water Resurrection with Christ Rom. 6.3.4 Know ye not that so many of us as were Baptized into Iesus Christ were Baptized into his Death therefore we are buried with him by Baptisme unto death that like as Christ was raised from the dead so we also should walk in newnesse of life Col. 2.12 Buried with him in Baptisme wherein you are also risen with him So Pareus on the sixth verse of the sixe of the Romans saith the ancient right in the Apostolicall Church was this the persons baptized were dipped all over in a River with some tarriance under the water then they rose up againe dipping shewed Crucifying and Death because it was not without terrour Tarrying under the waters buriall and comming up out of the water resurrection with Christ Object Mar. 7.8 The pharisees held the Baptisme of pots and cups here Baptisme signifies washing Answer 1. It signifies such a washing as is by dipping for vsually when we wash pots and cups we do not sprinkle them but dip them 2. In washing pots and cups we wash them all over which is not only dipping but totall dipping 3. Whereas verse 4. the word beds is vsed they held the washing of brazen vessels and beds for the word 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 onely signifies a bed and never a table I suppose they wash them by dipping them some way or other in water but sure they never sprinkled them they dipt them because they were legally polluted Object The word Baptize signifieth to sprinkle 1 Cor. 10.2 They were Baptized unto Moses in the cloud and Sea and yet there was no water for they went through the sea on dry land Therefore that Baptisme was the sprinkling of rain from From heaven as appeares by comparing Psal 76.17.18 The clouds powred out water the voice of thy Thunder was in the Heaven the lightnings lightned the World c.
