A76816	A moderate ansvver to these two questions 1. Whether ther [sic] be sufficient ground in Scripture to warrant the conscience of a Christian to present his infants to the sacrament of baptism. 2. Whether it be not sinfull for a Christian to receiv [sic] the sacrament in a mixt assembly. Prepared for the resolution of a friend, and now presented to the publick view of all, for the satisfaction of them who desire to walk in the ancient and long-approved way of truth and holiness.

text_n of_o heb._n 3.2.6_o as_o moses_n so_o christ_n be_v faithful_a nay_o more_o moses_n only_o as_o a_o servant_n but_o christ_n as_o a_o sonn_n and_o therefore_o his_o testament_n as_o perfect_v nay_o more_o perfect_a than_o that_o of_o moses_n true_o indeed_o but_o know_v we_o not_o that_o the_o faithfulness_n of_o a_o man_n in_o his_o office_n be_v to_o be_v measure_v according_a to_o the_o intent_n and_o scope_n of_o his_o office_n impose_v in_o which_o if_o he_o fail_v and_o falter_v then_o be_v he_o unfaithful_a if_o not_o then_o be_v he_o not_o unfaithful_a though_o he_o look_v not_o to_o other_o thing_n ex_fw-la gr_n the_o minister_n may_v be_v faithful_a though_o he_o meddle_v not_o with_o the_o sword_n of_o justice_n the_o magistrate_n though_o he_o fight_v not_o with_o the_o sword_n of_o the_o spirit_n so_o then_o what_o be_v the_o office_n of_o moses_n and_o what_o of_o christ_n the_o office_n of_o moses_n be_v to_o settle_v the_o commonwealth_n and_o the_o nationall_n church_n of_o israel_n the_o office_n of_o christ_n be_v to_o make_v reconciliation_n betwixt_o god_n and_o man_n to_o work_v out_o the_o redemption_n of_o mankind_n it_o be_v fit_a that_o moses_n shall_v set_v down_o particular_a law_n for_o the_o commonwealth_n and_o ordinance_n for_o the_o church_n neither_o of_o these_o do_v pertain_v to_o the_o office_n of_o christ_n yet_o by_o his_o apostle_n and_o their_o successor_n in_o several_a age_n do_v he_o provide_v whatsoever_o be_v necessary_a for_o the_o welfare_n and_o good_a order_n of_o the_o church_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n but_o in_o his_o own_o person_n and_o by_o himself_o he_o establish_v the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n ordain_v the_o seal_n thereof_a set_v up_o a_o ministry_n give_v to_o they_o the_o word_n of_o

honour_n than_o moses_n this_o for_o the_o major_a 2._o to_o the_o minor_a we_o grant_v that_o neither_o precept_n nor_o pattern_n formal_a and_o explicit_a be_v to_o be_v find_v in_o the_o book_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n for_o infant_n baptise_v i._n e._n there_o be_v no_o precept_n that_o say_v go_v and_o baptise_v infant_n no_o more_o be_v there_o any_o precept_n to_o baptise_v woman_n nor_o to_o observe_v the_o lord_n day_n as_o a_o christian_a sabbath_n there_o be_v no_o text_n that_o say_v the_o child_n and_o infant_n of_o this_o or_o that_o man_n be_v baptize_v nor_o be_v there_o any_o text_n that_o say_v such_o a_o woman_n be_v admit_v to_o the_o table_n of_o the_o lord_n but_o we_o say_v that_o both_o precept_n and_o pattern_n virtual_a and_o implicit_a may_v be_v find_v to_o warrant_v it_o the_o which_o if_o find_v be_v not_o to_o be_v neglect_v precept_n virtual_a and_o implicit_a here_o we_o pitch_v upon_o the_o continuation_n of_o the_o custom_n in_o israel_n to_o present_v their_o infant_n to_o the_o sacrament_n of_o initiation_n and_o we_o frame_v the_o argument_n thus_o what_o be_v institute_v in_o the_o old_a testament_n and_o not_o repeal_v in_o the_o new_a nor_o be_v any_o way_n incompatible_a with_o the_o state_n of_o the_o church_n in_o the_o new_a testament_n that_o be_v understand_v to_o be_v continue_v and_o commend_v to_o the_o practice_n of_o the_o christian_a church_n but_o that_o infant_n shall_v be_v initiate_v and_o admit_v into_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n by_o a_o sacrament_n be_v command_v in_o the_o old_a testament_n neither_o be_v it_o repeal_v in_o the_o new_a nor_o incompatible_a with_o the_o state_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n therefore_o that_o it_o be_v not_o repeal_v be_v thence_o confirm_v because_o in_o the_o substitution_n of_o that_o new_a sacrament_n of_o initiation_n there_o be_v no_o particular_a exception_n take_v against_o infant_n as_o before_o be_v note_v in_o the_o first_o argument_n that_o it_o be_v not_o incompatible_a with_o the_o state_n of_o the_o church_n in_o the_o new_a testament_n be_v thus_o further_o confirm_v 1._o the_o infant_n of_o christian_n be_v as_o capable_a of_o present_a incorporation_n into_o christ_n and_o of_o admission_n into_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n as_o be_v the_o infant_n of_o the_o jew_n and_o if_o so_o who_o shall_v bar_v they_o who_o god_n have_v not_o bar_v from_o the_o seal_n of_o the_o covenant_n 2._o the_o infant_n of_o christian_n have_v as_o much_o need_n of_o the_o communion_n and_o participation_n in_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n as_o have_v the_o infant_n of_o the_o jew_n and_o their_o parent_n as_o much_o need_n of_o a_o ground_n of_o comfort_n as_o touch_v the_o remedy_n of_o that_o which_o make_v they_o stand_v in_o need_n of_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n and_o the_o benefit_n thereof_o as_o the_o parent_n of_o jewish_a infant_n if_o so_o who_o shall_v think_v that_o god_n have_v not_o provide_v for_o they_o so_o well_o as_o for_o the_o other_o if_o he_o have_v not_o how_o have_v grace_n abound_v in_o the_o new_a testament_n when_o in_o this_o particular_a it_o be_v much_o
