A90658	A reply to a confutation of some grounds for infants baptisme: as also, concerning the form of a church, put forth against mee by one Thomas Lamb. Hereunto is added, a discourse of the verity and validity of infants baptisme, wherein I endeavour to clear it in it self: as also in the ministery administrating it, and the manner of administration, by sprinkling, and not dipping; with sundry other particulars handled herein. / By George Philips of Watertown in New England.	Phillips, George, 1593-1644.	1645 (1645)	Wing P2026; Thomason E287_4; ESTC R200088	141,673	168

for_o close_v of_o the_o argument_n i_o shall_v say_v this_o more_o the_o first_o that_o deny_v the_o baptism_n of_o infant_n and_o oppose_v the_o practice_n of_o the_o church_n in_o this_o case_n

far_o of_o my_o ground_n for_o baptise_v infant_n i_o next_o come_v to_o speak_v of_o a_o few_o thing_n to_o the_o manner_n of_o baptise_v whether_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v with_o dip_v and_o may_v not_o be_v with_o sprinkle_v only_o that_o dip_v have_v be_v in_o use_n in_o some_o age_n and_o place_n be_v out_o of_o question_n and_o dip_v thrice_o also_o story_n relate_v but_o that_o it_o be_v

so_o unless_o it_o can_v be_v prove_v from_o scripture_n i_o desire_v i_o may_v have_v the_o same_o leave_n i_o give_v other_o to_o reserve_v my_o faith_n for_o divine_a authority_n to_o captivate_v
