A79489	A Christian plea for infants baptisme. Or a confutation of some things written by A.R. in his treatise, entitutled, The second part of the vanitie and childishnesse of infants baptisme. In the answer whereof, the lawfulnesse of infants baptisme is defended, and the arguments against it disproved, by sufficient grounds and forcible reasons, drawn from the sweet fountains of holy Scripture. S.C.	Chidley, Samuel.	1644 (1644)	Wing C3836A; Thomason E32_2; ESTC R11383	164,121	171

of_o the_o place_n we_o must_v take_v upon_o your_o bare_a word_n or_o else_o choose_v for_o scripture_n to_o prove_v it_o you_o have_v none_o but_o by_o these_o your_o speech_n it_o seem_v that_o you_o will_v have_v we_o to_o believe_v that_o godliness_n &_o holiness_n of_o child_n depend_v upon_o the_o parent_n lawful_a generate_a of_o they_o and_o so_o by_o this_o it_o will_v follow_v that_o all_o the_o legitimate_a infidel_n in_o the_o world_n be_v godly_a and_o holy_a both_o young_a and_o old_a which_o be_v very_o strange_a and_o absurd_a and_o overthrow_v the_o scripture_n which_o

of_o your_o beget_n then_o where_o be_v your_o godliness_n and_o holiness_n you_o have_v it_o not_o at_o all_o upon_o your_o own_o ground_n howsoever_o at_o the_o best_a i_o think_v you_o will_v say_v that_o you_o have_v it_o not_o from_o your_o own_o knowledge_n but_o by_o humane_a testimony_n but_o for_o your_o comfort_n you_o shall_v consider_v that_o in_o a_o religious_a respect_n a_o bastard_n if_o he_o be_v a_o convert_n must_v not_o be_v reject_v as_o a_o castaway_n for_o although_o his_o father_n and_o his_o mother_n sin_v in_o his_o procreation_n yet_o their_o sin_n shall_v not_o be_v

appertain_v unto_o they_o and_o their_o seed_n according_a to_o the_o covenant_n of_o god_n 8._o g●n_n 17.7_o 8._o which_o declare_v that_o god_n will_v be_v their_o god_n second_o the_o apostle_n do_v not_o say_v that_o the_o unbelieving_a ●●●band_v or_o wife_n sanctifi_v the_o believe_v husband_n or_o wife_n but_o the_o unbelieve_a wife_n be_v sanctify_v in_o the_o believe_a husband_n and_o the_o unbelieved_a husband_n in_o the_o believe_a wife_n that_o be_v to_o say_v in_o consideration_n that_o ●●e_v be_v h●_n sanctify_a yokefellow_n where_o we_o be_v to_o note_v that_o though_o the_o unbelieved_a wife_n have_v a_o privilege_n to_o be_v sanctify_v in_o her_o believe_a husband_n yet_o not_o to_o sanctify_v her_o believe_a husband_n nor_o have_v the_o unbelieved_a husband_n any_o privilege_n to_o sanctify_a be_v believe_v wife_n nor_o do_v it_o need_v in_o this_o case_n for_o believer_n be_v holy_a without_o they_o though_o their_o unbelieved_a yoak-fellowe_n be_v not_o sanctify_v without_o they_o three_o we_o be_v to_o note_v from_o the_o apostle_n word_n else_o be_v your_o child_n unclean_a but_o now_o be_v they_o holy_a that_o because_o the_o unbelieved_a wife_n be_v sanctify_v to_o the_o believe_a husband_n or_o the_o unbelieved_a husband_n to_o the_o believe_a wife_n therefore_o the_o child_n be_v holy_a else_o not_o four_o we_o be_v to_o take_v notice_n that_o the_o cause_n of_o the_o sanctification_n of_o the_o unbelieved_a wife_n or_o that_o which_o make_v they_o to_o be_v so_o sanctify_v be_v two_o thing_n first_o their_o abide_n and_o second_o because_o their_o yoak-fellowe_n be_v believer_n if_o her_o yokefellow_n be_v a_o believer_n else_o she_o can_v be_v so_o sanctify_v to_o the_o believer_n for_o that_o that_o be_v not_o can_v be_v say_v to_o be_v five_o the_o apostle_n treat_v of_o holiness_n which_o we_o be_v to_o take_v for_o that_o excellent_a spiritual_a holiness_n which_o become_v the_o lord_n house_n even_o such_o a_o holiness_n which_o abraham_n and_o his_o infant_n have_v which_o holiness_n give_v the_o person_n who_o have_v it_o visible_a right_n to_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n and_o scale_n thereof_o the_o apostle_n speak_v of_o holiness_n and_o do_v no_o way_n lesson_n it_o and_o therefore_o consider_v what_o the_o infant_n of_o bell_n ever_v have_v be_v &_o what_o christ_n have_v do_v for_o they_o we_o may_v well_o understand_v that_o the_o holiness_n which_o they_o have_v now_o be_v a_o holiness_n in_o relation_n to_o the_o covenant_n and_o church_n of_o god_n six_o it_o evident_o appear_v from_o the_o apostle_n word_n that_o we_o may_v safe_o conclude_v that_o such_o child_n speak_v of_o here_o be_v different_a from_o heathen_n for_o the_o unbelieved_a wife_n have_v not_o that_o privilege_n to_o bring_v forth_o such_o a_o holy_a seed_n unto_o a_o heathen_a and_o so_o the_o like_a may_v be_v say_v for_o the_o unbelieved_a husband_n that_o he_o can_v not_o beget_v a_o holy_a seed_n of_o she_o that_o be_v a_o unbelieved_a wife_n but_o it_o be_v peculiar_o bind_v up_o in_o the_o believe_a yoke-fellow_n therefore_o the_o childeren_n of_o one_o or_o both_o believe_v parent_n be_v h●ly_o indeed_o take_v the_o scripture_n in_o the_o large_a extent_n seven_o if_o the_o apostle_n have_v say_v to_o the_o believer_n that_o their_o child_n be_v unholy_a nevertheless_o you_o may_v still_o have_v make_v su●h_v a_o collection_n as_o you_o have_v here_o to_o wit_n that_o he_o mean_v t●at_a they_o be_v no_o bastard_n but_o legitimate_a for_o the_o legitimate_a child_n who_o parent_n be_v neither_o of_o they_o believer_n be_v unholy_a and_o yet_o they_o have_v your_o holiness_n to_o wit_n that_o which_o evidence_v they_o to_o be_v no_o bastard_n wherefore_o that_o the_o apostle_n paul_n mean_v such_o a_o holiness_n which_o you_o speak_v of_o we_o may_v not_o in_o reason_n conclude_v but_o the_o contrary_a as_o have_v be_v observe_v before_o name_o that_o the_o apostle_n mean_v a_o holiness_n direct_o opposite_a to_o th●●_n 〈…〉_o speak_v of_o 2_o cor._n 6.17_o and_o also_o in_o this_o place_n 1_o c●●_n 7.14_o when_o he_o say_v else_o be_v your_o child_n unclean_a but_o now_o be_v 〈…〉_o but_o you_o in_o give_v the_o sense_n according_a to_o your_o sense_n or_o understanding_n say_v it_o be_v thus_o else_o be_v your_o child_n bastard_n but_o now_o be_v they_o no_o bastard_n and_o further_o you_o say_v and_o that_o this_o be_v the_o genuine_a sense_n of_o this_o place_n 33._o a._n r._n pag._n 10._o lin_v 33._o may_v further_o and_o clear_o appear_v by_o the_o general_a scope_n of_o the_o apostle_n in_o the_o 20_o 21_o 22_o 23._o verse_n follow_n in_o the_o same_o chapter_n where_o he_o after_o he_o have_v resolve_v the_o marry_a believer_n not_o to_o depart_v from_o their_o lawful_a yoke-mate_n he_o then_o in_o these_o verse_n exhort_v servant_n and_o all_o other_o to_o abide_v likewise_o in_o the_o lawful_a calling_n wherein_o they_o be_v before_o their_o conversion_n and_o seem_v to_o tell_v they_o in_o effect_n thus_o much_o that_o their_o be_v convert_v to_o the_o faith_n do_v in_o no_o wise_a release_v they_o from_o any_o lawful_a covenant_n and_o civil_a duty_n in_o their_o several_a relation_n wherein_o they_o stand_v before_o but_o bind_v they_o to_o a_o more_o due_a performance_n of_o all_o such_o obligement_n towards_o all_o man_n but_o in_o point_n of_o religion_n and_o worship_n of_o god_n therein_o they_o be_v not_o to_o be_v in_o subjection_n to_o any_o save_v only_o to_o jesus_n christ_n who_o have_v therefore_o buy_v they_o with_o a_o price_n ans_fw-fr all_o which_o you_o have_v say_v here_o make_v nothing_o for_o your_o purpose_n for_o vindication_n illustration_n or_o confirmation_n of_o your_o strange_a restriction_n of_o the_o apostle_n word_n but_o rather_o make_v against_o you_o for_o as_o much_o as_o the_o apostle_n desire_v every_o believer_n to_o abide_v in_o the_o same_o call_n wherein_o he_o be_v call_v so_o that_o the_o believe_a marry_a person_n have_v no_o need_n to_o put_v away_o their_o unbelieved_a yoak-fellowe_n for_o as_o much_o as_o the_o lord_n allow_v they_o to_o abide_v together_o and_o that_o the_o unbelieved_a yoak-fellowe_n be_v so_o sanctify_v for_o produce_v a_o holy_a seed_n else_o be_v your_o child_n unclean_a say_v the_o apostle_n but_o now_o be_v they_o holy_a but_o you_o pretend_v that_o you_o gather_v your_o interpretation_n else_o be_v your_o child_n bastard_n etc._n etc._n from_o the_o general_a scope_n of_o the_o apostle_n in_o the_o 20_o 21_o 22_o 23._o verse_n follow_v of_o the_o same_o chapter_n the_o word_n therefore_o i_o will_v repeat_v at_o large_a because_o you_o shall_v see_v that_o here_o be_v nothing_o in_o these_o verse_n which_o you_o pretend_v or_o by_o which_o you_o have_v any_o occasion_n to_o urge_v what_o you_o do_v ver._n 20._o let_v every_o man_n abide_v in_o the_o same_o call_n wherein_o he_o be_v call_v

be_v they_o no_o bastard_n what_o title_n of_o scripture_n be_v here_o to_o warrant_v these_o your_o vain_a conceit_n in_o thus_o oppose_v holy_a infant_n or_o upon_o what_o reason_n do_v you_o
