A27216	The coppie of a letter sent to a gentlevvoman one of the separation in Holland in answer to a letter of hers, written to her sister, being a member of one of those societies, commonly (though falsely) called the new Anabaptists in London, wherein are briefly set down their reasons against the baptizing of infants : together with the grounds of their denyall, of sprinkling water upon the face in any name whatsoever, to be baptisme : and them of the separation justly charged for not walking answerable to their owne principles / by R.B.

into_o water_n as_o be_v prove_v by_o testimony_n both_o divine_a and_o humane_a then_o where_o no_o part_n of_o the_o body_n be_v dip_v into_o water_n there_o can_v be_v no_o part_n of_o baptism_n as_o there_o be_v not_o in_o that_o besprinkle_v which_o now_o adays_o be_v false_o call_v baptism_n come_v we_o now_o to_o the_o ground_n upon_o which_o they_o of_o the_o separation_n do_v proceed_v they_o affirm_v that_o the_o covenant_n of_o which_o they_o hold_v baptism_n to_o be_v a_o seal_n be_v make_v but_o with_o believer_n and_o their_o seed_n and_o that_o the_o seal_n be_v no_o seal_n where_o no_o precedent_a covenant_n have_v be_v now_o the_o parent_n of_o the_o most_o of_o they_o by_o their_o own_o confession_n be_v ungodly_a and_o unbeliever_n as_o the_o child_n of_o the_o

their_o seed_n any_o covenant_n make_v with_o they_o till_o they_o become_v believer_n from_o which_o consideration_n we_o may_v frame_v this_o argument_n if_o where_o no_o covenant_n have_v go_v before_o the_o seal_n of_o the_o covenant_n be_v set_v to_o it_o become_v no_o seal_n then_o where_o no_o covenant_n have_v go_v before_o baptism_n be_v the_o seal_n of_o the_o covenant_n if_o it_o be_v set_v to_o become_v no_o baptism_n but_o where_o no_o covenant_n have_v go_v before_o the_o seal_n of_o it_o be_v set_v to_o become_v no_o seal_n ergo_fw-la where_o no_o covenant_n have_v go_v before_o baptism_n be_v the_o seal_n of_o the_o covenant_n if_o it_o be_v set_v to_o become_v no_o baptism_n and_o thus_o be_v they_o quit_v of_o their_o baptism_n by_o their_o own_o grant_n for_o they_o which_o have_v no_o baptism_n but_o that_o which_o they_o have_v when_o they_o be_v without_o the_o covenant_n have_v no_o baptism_n at_o all_o again_o they_o common_o affirm_v that_o baptism_n upon_o the_o baptizer_n be_v essential_o requisite_a that_o the_o baptism_n administer_v by_o he_o may_v be_v in_o force_n for_o say_v they_o baptism_n act_v by_o one_o unbaptise_v unless_o he_o
