A87687	Baptism without bason. Or, Plain Scripture-proof against infant-baptism, I. By way of answer to Mr. Baxter's arguments, and to the exercitations of Mr. Sidenham, teacher to a church a[t] Newcastle, concerning infants baptism: for which that their pretended consequences are from concessions not to be granted, and from Scriptures as mistaken, and absolutely wrested, is clearly discovered. With II. Several questions and answers, positively holding out the minde of Christ in baptizing of believers onely; and that the magistrates may be induced more and more to encourage the preaching thereof in publike. III. A declaration written to the election of grace, who for want of information are of contrary judgment. Written by William Kaye, minister of the Gospel at Stokesley.	Kaye, William.	1653 (1653)	Wing K32; Thomason E715_13; ESTC R207264	49,935	54

with_o christ_n and_o all_o his_o saint_n that_o indeed_o a_o blind_a and_o profane_a soul_n can_v live_v in_o the_o element_n of_o it_o and_o therefore_o if_o any_o such_o appear_v that_o have_v own_v it_o they_o either_o forsake_v the_o church_n or_o they_o be_v cut_v off_o by_o the_o church_n as_o wither_a branch_n however_o the_o evil_n complain_v of_o if_o ever_o it_o be_v visible_a though_o a_o gangrene_n may_v be_v cure_v with_o the_o knife_n of_o excommunication_n yet_o on_o the_o contrary_a such_o inevitable_a evil_n attend_v infant-baptism_n that_o it_o be_v the_o very_a

find_v that_o those_o that_o be_v not_o under_o the_o present_a practice_n dare_v not_o deny_v their_o title_n to_o the_o ordinance_n of_o sing_v but_o that_o deny_v infant-baptism_n be_v worse_a or_o that_o there_o be_v any_o evil_n at_o all_o but_o a_o submission_n to_o the_o ordinance_n and_o commission_n of_o christ_n in_o deny_v of_o infant_n baptism_n i_o must_v needs_o therefore_o further_o say_v that_o to_o pretend_v baptism_n of_o infant_n to_o be_v helpful_a to_o exalt_v free_a grace_n be_v absolute_o to_o deny_v the_o grace_n of_o god_n to_o be_v free_a which_o be_v convey_v

that_o no_o man_n can_v judge_v who_o be_v under_o the_o covenant_n of_o free_a grace_n and_o who_o be_v not_o and_o therefore_o we_o do_v not_o baptize_v upon_o this_o account_n but_o as_o we_o see_v
