A47755	A religious conference between a minister and parishioner: concerning the practice of our orthodox Church of England in baptizing infants, and pouring water on their faces, or sprinkling them; and in confirming them by the bishop when they come of age to give an account of their faith. Proving all three lawful by the authority of the Holy Scriptures.	Leslie, Charles, 1650-1722.	1696 (1696)	Wing L1145; ESTC R213965	23,437	34

it_o themselves_o in_o respect_n of_o christ_n satisfaction_n which_o 2._o which_o mr._n blackwood_n storm_a of_o antichrist_n pag._n 11._o part_n 2._o they_o say_v be_v but_o one_o though_o there_o

and_o therefore_o they_o have_v no_o more_o reason_n to_o say_v we_o make_v two_o baptism_n than_o we_o have_v to_o say_v they_o make_v two_o satisfaction_n of_o christ_n one_o for_o grow_v person_n

point_n be_v that_o baptism_n be_v the_o only_a ordinary_a mean_n of_o our_o child_n salvation_n and_o if_o any_o of_o they_o through_o their_o parent_n negligence_n and_o contempt_n of_o that_o ordinance_n shall_v die_v without_o it_o because_o it_o be_v not_o the_o child_n fault_n through_o the_o extraordinary_a grace_n of_o god_n they_o may_v be_v save_v when_o the_o parent_n who_o see_v the_o danger_n of_o their_o soul_n and_o will_v have_v no_o pity_n through_o the_o just_a judgement_n of_o god_n may_v be_v damn_v p._n but_o to_o avoid_v this_o dreadful_a consequence_n of_o the_o damnation_n of_o themselves_o or_o child_n 53._o child_n mr._n blackwood_n storm_v of_o antichrist_n p._n 11._o and_o 53._o they_o say_v infant_n be_v save_v by_o the_o presentment_n of_o the_o satisfaction_n of_o christ_n to_o god_n justice_n for_o original_a sin_n and_o that_o without_o believe_v this_o satisfaction_n be_v apply_v to_o die_a infant_n whether_o they_o be_v bear_v of_o turk_n or_o christian_n m._n but_o this_o answer_n do_v not_o seem_v sufficient_a upon_o a_o double_a account_n 1._o because_o many_o of_o their_o infant_n live_v to_o commit_v actual_a sin_n and_o then_o die_v unbaptise_v and_o the_o bare_a pardon_n of_o their_o original_a sin_n be_v not_o enough_o to_o save_v such_o their_o actual_a sin_n must_v be_v forgive_v too_o or_o else_o they_o will_v be_v damn_v 2._o because_o the_o presentment_n of_o christ_n satisfaction_n to_o god_n justice_n for_o original_a sin_n amount_v to_o no_o more_o than_o a_o pardon_n of_o it_o which_o may_v be_v grant_v child_n without_o admit_v they_o to_o the_o joy_n of_o heaven_n which_o can_v be_v obtain_v without_o christ_n impute_v or_o their_o own_o inherent_a righteousness_n as_o a_o rebel_n may_v be_v pardon_v his_o treason_n and_o so_o not_o suffer_v the_o sentence_n of_o death_n which_o be_v a_o act_n of_o grace_n in_o the_o prince_n but_o yet_o to_o prefer_v this_o pardon_v rebel_n to_o a_o place_n at_o court_n it_o must_v proceed_v from_o some_o extraordinary_a merit_n or_o a_o far_a act_n of_o grace_n to_o do_v this_o and_o therefore_o the_o pelagian_o who_o be_v a_o sect_n that_o deny_v original_a sin_n nevertheless_o be_v for_o baptise_v their_o child_n that_o they_o may_v be_v bear_v again_o and_o so_o enter_v into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n 3._o but_o if_o this_o be_v sufficient_a to_o obtain_v heaven_n for_o infant_n the_o presentment_n of_o the_o satisfaction_n of_o christ_n to_o god_n justice_n for_o original_a sin_n why_o be_v not_o the_o same_o sufficient_a to_o qualify_v they_o to_o be_v baptise_a in_o short_a let_v these_o man_n assign_v what_o reason_n they_o will_v for_o infant_n salvation_n and_o some_o they_o must_v or_o declare_v their_o opinion_n to_o be_v unreasonable_a and_o i_o will_v undertake_v to_o prove_v the_o same_o will_v conclude_v more_o forcible_o for_o infant_n baptism_n indeed_o we_o both_o agree_v that_o infant_n may_v be_v save_v they_o say_v without_o baptism_n by_o christ_n satisfaction_n we_o say_v certain_o with_o baptism_n which_o be_v the_o application_n of_o that_o satisfaction_n their_o opinion_n be_v uncertain_a and_o hazardous_a we_o sure_o and_o certain_a by_o god_n word_n john_n 3.5_o and_o tit._n 3.5_o and_o therefore_o to_o baptise_v our_o child_n be_v the_o safe_a and_o sure_a way_n and_o not_o to_o baptise_v they_o be_v to_o expose_v they_o to_o infinite_a and_o apparent_a danger_n which_o no_o parent_n that_o love_v their_o child_n and_o their_o own_o soul_n will_v venture_v to_o do_v p._n i_o be_o glad_a you_o have_v clear_v this_o point_n so_o well_o i_o hope_v it_o will_v make_v all_o parent_n consider_v the_o dreadful_a hazard_n they_o run_v in_o neglect_v their_o child_n baptism_n but_o there_o be_v one_o scripture_n proof_n more_o which_o you_o promise_v want_v m._n it_o be_v in_o act_n 2.39_o where_o st._n peter_n declare_v that_o the_o promise_n i._n e._n of_o
