A89563	A defence of infant-baptism: in answer to two treatises, and an appendix to them concerning it; lately published by Mr. Jo. Tombes. Wherein that controversie is fully discussed, the ancient and generally received use of it from the apostles dayes, untill the Anabaptists sprung up in Germany, manifested. The arguments for it from the holy Scriptures maintained, and the objections against it answered. / By Steven Marshall B.D. minister of the Gospell, at Finchingfield in Essex.

best_a administration_n of_o the_o covenant_n by_o a_o argument_n reach_v to_o their_o posterity_n the_o sense_n be_v no_o more_o than_o thus_o you_o have_v indeed_o crucify_v the_o lord_n of_o life_n and_o deserve_v that_o his_o blood_n shall_v be_v require_v of_o you_o and_o of_o your_o child_n and_o that_o that_o vineyard_n the_o heir_n whereof_o you_o have_v kill_v shall_v be_v take_v away_o

be_v baptize_v do_v not_o receive_v those_o extraordinary_a gift_n yet_o peter_n may_v assure_v they_o that_o it_o shall_v be_v so_o for_o the_o future_a this_o deserve_v no_o reply_n be_v it_o imaginary_a that_o peter_n may_v promise_v what_o never_o be_v to_o be_v perform_v be_v it_o to_o be_v true_a answer_n at_o any_o time_n that_o all_o who_o believe_v shall_v receive_v the_o extraordinary_a gift_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n yourself_o say_v elsewhere_o you_o shall_v incur_v blasphemy_n to_o challenge_v a_o promise_n which_o god_n shall_v not_o make_v good_a and_o whereas_o you_o add_v further_o that_o it_o do_v not_o follow_v that_o this_o promise_n must_v be_v true_a in_o all_o age_n that_o whoever_o believe_v and_o be_v baptize_v shall_v receive_v remission_n of_o sin_n and_o the_o gift_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n b●cause_n there_o be_v nothing_o in_o the_o text_n to_o prove_v that_o this_o promise_n shall_v be_v in_o force_n in_o all_o age_n but_o sir_n be_v there_o not_o in_o the_o text_n all_o that_o be_v afar_o off_o even_o as_o many_o as_o the_o lord_n our_o god_n shall_v call_v and_o do_v not_o that_o reach_n to_o all_o age_n the_o other_o shif●_n which_o i_o say_v be_v insufficient_a to_o avoid_v the_o force_n of_o this_o argument_n be_v their_o interpretation_n exception_n who_o say_v to_o you_o and_o your_o child_n must_v be_v thus_o limit_v viz._n as_o many_o of_o they_o as_o the_o lord_n shall_v call_v that_o be_v when_o any_o of_o your_o child_n come_v to_o be_v call_v this_o promise_n shall_v be_v make_v good_a unto_o they_o now_o i_o say_v this_o be_v but_o a_o shift_n because_o the_o apostle_n argument_n be_v take_v from_o the_o benefit_n which_o shall_v come_v to_o their_o child_n which_o will_v be_v no_o argument_n at_o all_o because_o with_o this_o limitation_n it_o hold_v forth_o no_o more_o to_o the_o child_n of_o believer_n then_o to_o pagan_n the_o promise_n be_v make_v to_o as_o many_o as_o god_n shall_v call_v that_o be_v to_o you_o to_o your_o child_n and_o to_o pagan_n and_o their_o child_n as_o much_o as_o to_o you_o and_o your_o child_n what_o argument_n can_v this_o afford_v from_o a_o benefit_n which_o their_o child_n shall_v receive_v if_o they_o believe_v but_o this_o say_v you_o be_v the_o genuine_a and_o necessary_a explication_n of_o the_o text_n for_o let_v the_o promise_n be_v what_o it_o can_v be_v whether_o of_o save_v grace_n of_o outward_a privilege_n of_o extraordinary_a gift_n it_o be_v no_o way_n true_a without_o that_o limitation_n as_o many_o as_o the_o lord_n shall_v call_v but_o this_o be_v but_o a_o deceive_a of_o your_o reader_n with_o a_o equivocation_n in_o the_o word_n call_v for_o if_o you_o mean_v of_o inward_a effectnall_a answ_n calling_n of_o true_a faith_n wrought_v in_o the_o heart_n and_o then_o say_v what_o ever_o be_v mean_v by_o the_o promise_n whether_o inward_a graoe_n or_o outward_a privilege_n none_o partake_v of_o any_o of_o these_o thing_n without_o this_o inward_a call_n i_o must_v tell_v you_o this_o be_v one_o of_o the_o thing_n you_o use_v to_o call_v dictate_v bold_a assertion_n without_o proof_n the_o falsehood_n whereof_o be_v abundant_o manifest_v already_o do_v you_o not_o know_v and_o grant_v that_o outward_a privilege_n be_v common_a to_o elect_v and_o reprobate_a but_o if_o you_o mean_v it_o of_o outward_a call_n than_o i_o not_o only_o assert_v but_o have_v already_o prove_v their_o infant_n enjoy_v this_o call_n with_o they_o but_o because_o you_o can_v deny_v that_o the_o apostle_n here_o mean_v to_o fetch_v exception_n a_o argument_n take_v from_o the_o benefit_n which_o shall_v come_v to_o their_o child_n you_o have_v find_v out_o another_o shift_n and_o say_v the_o main_a matter_n be_v concern_v themselves_o to_o erect_v they_o because_o they_o have_v say_v his_o blood_n be_v upon_o we_o and_o upon_o our_o child_n and_o this_o be_v a_o comfortable_a argument_n because_o they_o may_v hereby_o understand_v that_o notwithstanding_o this_o imprecation_n or_o execration_n they_o and_o their_o child_n may_v yet_o be_v save_v by_o this_o jesus_n who_o they_o have_v crucify_v in_o case_n they_o shall_v believe_v in_o he_o but_o i_o reply_v first_o there_o be_v nothing_o in_o the_o text_n to_o evince_v it_o answ_n that_o all_o these_o man_n either_o utter_v that_o curse_n or_o be_v

be_v party_n in_o it_o and_o so_o consequent_o that_o the_o application_n of_o the_o promise_n be_v the_o more_o seasonable_a to_o they_o yet_o because_o it_o be_v the_o promise_n of_o the_o
