A67323	Infants baptism from heaven, of divine institution Being a brief yet satisfactory answer to some objections made by Hercules Collins, in his book entituled, Believers baptism from heaven, infants baptism from earth, &c. against certain truths proved in a book entituled, Baptism anatomized. Propounded in five queries, by Tho. Wall. Viz. 1. What water-baptism is? 2. What is the end for which it was instituted? 3. What giveth right to it? 4. Who are the true administrators of it? 5. Whether it be lawful for a man to baptise himself? Wherein the right that the infants of believers have to water-baptism is vindicated: the duty of believing parents in that matter asserted: and that by the contrary tenet and practice, they ought themselved to be excluded from the Lords-Supper, is plainly and fully proved. And wherein is also proved, that the covenant which God made with Abraham, Gen. 17. and with Israel, Exod. 19. and Deut. 29. are the covenant of grace in Christ, and not part of the covenant of works made with Adam before his fall.

the_o holy_a spirit_n proceed_v because_o it_o be_v above_o with_o god_n in_o heaven_n and_o we_o upon_o earth_n below_o here_o he_o grant_v the_o signification_n of_o the_o word_n baptism_n may_v

h._n collins_n agree_v to_o be_v a_o pour_v and_o therefore_o we_o ought_v so_o to_o understand_v it_o as_o it_o be_v open_v to_o we_o by_o god_n as_o i_o have_v show_v in_o my_o book_n p._n 3_o to_o 11._o and_o see_v you_o grant_v that_o you_o own_o but_o one_o baptism_n p._n 116._o if_o there_o be_v but_o one_o as_o there_o be_v than_o the_o natural_a signification_n of_o the_o word_n must_v be_v one_o arise_v from_o one_o and_o the_o same_o word_n then_o water_n out_o of_o the_o cloud_n god_n himself_o be_v the_o administrator_n water_n be_v pour_v on_o the_o person_n even_o than_o our_o father_n say_v the_o apostle_n be_v baptize_v stand_v in_o the_o sea_n where_o the_o water_n have_v be_v on_o dry_a foot_n so_o john_n when_o he_o baptize_v we_o have_v show_v the_o person_n baptize_v may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v in_o the_o water_n or_o sea_n when_o but_o stand_v at_o the_o brink_n where_o sometime_o the_o water_n have_v flow_v p._n 7._o according_a to_o the_o pattern_n show_v he_o from_o on_o high_a as_o you_o grant_v to_o be_v by_o pour_v even_o so_o john_n baptise_v with_o water_n must_v agree_v in_o one_o by_o pour_v as_o by_o cast_v water_n on_o the_o person_n head_n or_o face_n see_v i_o have_v prove_v in_o my_o book_n p._n 11._o that_o the_o face_n represent_v the_o whole_a person_n now_o tell_v i_o what_o example_n have_v john_n otherwise_o to_o follow_v than_o the_o way_n of_o pour_v see_v in_o the_o spiritual_a baptism_n it_o be_v grant_v by_o you_o as_o you_o say_v i_o be_o to_o know_v pour_v be_v the_o most_o proper_a word_n can_v be_v use_v therefore_o the_o meaning_n of_o the_o word_n baptise_v be_v pour_v or_o pour_v then_o as_o there_o be_v but_o one_o baptism_n which_o likewise_o you_o grant_v the_o manner_n in_o the_o administration_n must_v be_v one_o and_o the_o same_o as_o all_o come_n down_o from_o above_o on_o the_o person_n pour_v or_o cast_v on_o the_o person_n either_o in_o the_o spiritual_a or_o water-baptism_n so_o john_n baptize_v with_o water_n as_o they_o be_v baptize_v with_o the_o spirit_n by_o pour_v or_o cast_v water_n on_o the_o noble_a part_n head_n or_o face_n and_o because_o i_o have_v so_o full_o prove_v this_o in_o my_o book_n i_o refer_v the_o reader_n to_o it_o to_o read_v baptism_n anatomize_v from_o p._n 3._o to_o 21._o and_o so_o shall_v conclude_v this_o particular_a as_o peter_n in_o another_o case_n do_v whether_o shall_v we_o believe_v god_n or_o man_n concern_v the_o use_n and_o signification_n of_o the_o word_n baptism_n let_v the_o wise_a judge_n again_o whereas_o h._n collins_n say_v
