A84133	The Anabaptists ground-work for reformation: or, New planting of churches, that no man, woman, nor child, may be baptized, but such as have justifying faith, and doe make profession thereof, before, to the baptizer, found false, with all things depending thereon. As being contrary to the Scriptures, and to the examples of Christ and his Apostles, ... Proved by severall arguments. Whereunto one T.L. a principall baptizer, (and apostle in their account) hath given his answers. Unto which answers, replies are also made by I.E. and some arguments annexed, proving, that the children of all such beleevers as were baptized, and so received into the Church, might be baptized, and received also. With a brief declaration what the true reformation is, and shal be, farre above these Anabaptists, and all such carnall builders conceits. And who the two witnesses of God are, by whom chiefly it is to be performed. Imprimatut [sic].

body_n of_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o flesh_n by_o the_o same_o circumcision_n of_o christ_n as_o the_o apostle_n paul_n do_v plain_o declare_v coloss_n 2.11_o 12_o 13._o where_o he_o give_v unto_o the_o circumcision_n of_o the_o heart_n which_o he_o call_v the_o circumcision_n of_o christ_n the_o name_n baptism_n as_o it_o former_o have_v the_o name_n of_o circumcision_n make_v baptism_n and_o circumcision_n both_o one_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o thing_n signify_v therefore_o as_o little_a child_n be_v to_o have_v that_o sign_n so_o they_o be_v to_o have_v this_o the_o circumcision_n of_o the_o heart_n be_v the_o token_n of_o the_o covenant_n which_o god_n make_v with_o abraham_n and_o his_o seed_n of_o which_o seed_n all_o the_o faithful_a gentile_n be_v part_n as_o paul_n declare_v

and_o bless_v they_o and_o that_o this_o be_v a_o great_a thing_n then_o outward_a baptism_n and_o he_o esteem_v they_o meet_v for_o the_o same_o because_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n be_v of_o such_o as_o

they_o and_o so_o for_o that_o cause_n rebuke_v those_o that_o forbid_v they_o to_o be_v bring_v then_o do_v he_o also_o esteem_v they_o meet_v for_o outward_a baptism_n which_o be_v the_o lesser_a and_o will_v no_o doubt_n have_v rebuke_v also_o such_o as_o shall_v have_v forbid_v or_o deny_v they_o it_o but_o the_o first_o be_v all_o true_a as_o it_o be_v write_v mark_v 10.13_o 14._o therefore_o the_o second_o be_v true_a also_o a_o objection_n if_o any_o shall_v object_v and_o say_v there_o be_v no_o plain_a word_n require_v little_a child_n to_o be_v baptize_v as_o there_o be_v to_o be_v circumcise_v nor_o any_o example_n in_o all_o the_o new_a testament_n that_o little_a child_n by_o name_n as_o man_n and_o woman_n by_o name_n be_v baptize_v answer_n to_o which_o i_o

christ_n give_v no_o new_a commandment_n for_o this_o the_o former_a serve_v whereby_o the_o apostle_n prove_v it_o so_o the_o commandment_n for_o circumcision_n serve_v also_o to_o prove_v baptism_n if_o there_o be_v no_o other_o proof_n again_o if_o little_a child_n may_v not_o be_v baptize_v because_o there_o be_v no_o plain_a word_n require_v it_o nor_o example_n mention_v that_o by_o name_n
