A70157	A just defence and vindication of Gospel ministers and Gospel ordinances against the Quakers many false accusations, slanders and reproaches. In ansvver to John Horwood his letter, and E.B. his book, called, A just and lawful tryal of the ministers and teachers of this age, and several others. Proving the ministers calling and maintenance just and lawful, and the doctrine of perfection by free justification, preached by them, agreeable to the scriptures. VVith the Quakers objections answered. And the Quakers perfection by hearkning to, and obeying a light within them, proved contrary to the scriptures. And their practices in ten particulars proved contrary to the commands and examples of Christ and his apostles. By a lover of gospel ministers and gospel ordinances.	Gaskin, John, fl. 1660.	1660 (1660)	Wing G290; ESTC R223664	109,852	161

geneva_n because_o that_o church_n have_v and_o be_v count_v one_o of_o the_o best_a reform_a church_n from_o popery_n and_o therefore_o i_o hope_v you_o will_v not_o say_v they_o be_v popish_a

the_o church_n in_o which_o you_o disobey_v christ_n his_o command_n and_o walk_v contrary_a to_o his_o practice_n and_o walk_v contrary_a to_o the_o practice_n of_o the_o apostle_n and_o all_o the_o

our_o minister_n but_o this_o be_v one_o ground_n that_o our_o minister_n baptise_v or_o sprinkle_v infant_n and_o tell_v they_o they_o be_v christian_n before_o they_o preach_v to_o they_o contrary_a to_o the_o practice_n of_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n now_o although_o it_o be_v not_o in_o the_o least_o any_o part_n of_o my_o intention_n when_o i_o begin_v to_o write_v to_o meddle_v with_o

have_v so_o plain_o prove_v the_o lawfulness_n of_o infant-baptisme_n in_o his_o answer_n to_o mr._n tomb_n but_o because_o i_o know_v you_o quaker_n do_v not_o usual_o read_v any_o book_n they_o but_o such_o as_o be_v of_o your_o own_o stamp_n or_o such_o as_o be_v write_v in_o opposition_n to_o your_o opinion_n i_o shall_v write_v such_o ground_n and_o reason_n as_o i_o conceive_v be_v

the_o begin_n with_o adam_n and_o renew_v unto_o abraham_n be_v the_o same_o for_o substance_n which_o we_o have_v now_o in_o the_o day_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o as_o he_o do_v give_v circumcision_n a_o sign_n and_o seal_n of_o that_o covenant_n before_o christ_n his_o come_n in_o the_o flesh_n whereby_o they_o and_o their_o child_n be_v distinguish_v from_o the_o heathen_a gentile_n so_o have_v the_o lord_n christ_n appoint_v baptism_n a_o sign_n and_o seal_n of_o the_o same_o covenant_n in_o the_o day_n of_o the_o gospel_n whereby_o all_o those_o that_o believe_v the_o gospel_n of_o jesus_n christ_n they_o and_o their_o child_n be_v also_o distinguish_v from_o heathen_a infidel_n that_o believe_v not_o the_o gospel_n now_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n be_v make_v to_o the_o child_n of_o all_o those_o that_o be_v within_o the_o covenant_n 7._o i_o will_v establish_v my_o covenant_n between_o i_o and_o thou_o and_o thy_o seed_n after_o thou_o for_o a_o everlasting_a covenant_n to_o

to_o your_o child_n and_o to_o 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 now_o if_o the_o promise_n do_v belong_v unto_o their_o child_n sure_o the_o seal_n of_o the_o promise_n do_v belong_v unto_o they_o and_o it_o can_v be_v circumcision_n for_o that_o be_v abolish_v wherefore_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v baptism_n which_o be_v the_o badge_n or_o seal_n whereby_o christion_n be_v distinguish_v from_o other_o also_o the_o apostle_n write_v to_o the_o corinthian_n some_o man_n have_v unbelieving_a wife_n and_o the_o woman_n unbelieving_a

say_v he_o 14._o the_o unbelieving_a wife_n be_v sanctify_v by_o the_o believe_a husband_n and_o the_o unbelieving_a husband_n by_o the_o believe_a wife_n else_o be_v your_o child_n unclean_a but_o now_o they_o be_v holy_a where_o the_o apostle_n can_v be_v understand_v of_o any_o inherent_a holiness_n but_o rather_o a_o relative_a holiness_n which_o make_v the_o person_n capable_a of_o be_v a_o member_n of_o the_o visible_a church_n by_o the_o ordinance_n of_o baptism_n i_o know_v the_o anabaptist_n say_v the_o meaning_n be_v else_o be_v your_o child_n illegitimate_a that_o be_v base_a

be_v lawful_o marry_v make_v child_n holy_a or_o unholy_a for_o i_o believe_v jew_n and_o turk_n be_v lawful_o marry_v but_o that_o do_v not_o make_v their_o child_n holy_a but_o if_o that_o

that_o then_o their_o child_n be_v capable_a of_o be_v make_v visible_a member_n of_o the_o church_n by_o baptism_n as_o well_o as_o the_o child_n of_o the_o jew_n by_o circumcision_n or_o else_o the_o jew_n and_o their_o child_n have_v a_o great_a privilege_n in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o law_n

of_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n be_v justify_v free_o by_o his_o grace_n through_o the_o redemption_n that_o be_v in_o jesus_n christ_n the_o apostle_n call_v it_o the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n because_o wrought_v by_o he_o that_o be_v god_n to_o show_v the_o worth_n virtue_n and_o excellency_n of_o the_o same_o 19_o also_o the_o apostle_n say_v for_o if_o by_o one_o man_n offence_n death_n
